It is planned but it probably will take a while to implement since lemmy doesn’t support webpush api. Without web push their are only two ways to check for notifications (both aren’t elegant):

1. Poll the lemmy api for new messages (say every min). This would be bandwith intensive for both voyager servers and your lemmy instance (Memmy does this and currently for 800 users 3gb of bandwith is used per day). Even if voyager is able to scale there servers to handle bandwith lemmy instances could impose rate limits which would prevent notifications from coming through.

2. Set up a weird janky system to intercept emails sent from lemmy instance to trigger a voyager server to ask the api if there are any new messages (would reduce poll rate but would be super clunky to setup).

Web push api could solve this issue since instead of voyager having to ask lemmy if their are new messages web push allows the opposite to happen (lemmy telling voyager a new message has arived).

Don’t quote me on this (I could be horribly wrong). Voyager doesn’t seem to use cookies rather it relies on Index db and local storage. Local storage stores your credentials for your accounts (jwt tokens), and index db stores your preferences. If DDG only is preserving cookies and wiping the local storage and index db (again I haven’t tested DDG) then that would give a possible explanation on why you are getting logged out and potentially why any settings are getting reverted.

Edit article explaning difference between storage types:

Edit 2 It looks like ddg is clearing data and only preserving first party cookies (which isn’t used for voyager):

Currently voyager cannot do this (It doesn’t have any background refresh capabilities). Down the line it might be able to when push notification feature is implemented (and you enable it).

Ah missed that thanks for linking it 👍

Ah 😆

Ah sorry about load I’m relying on catbox.moe due to fhmy having issue with bulging uploader (Imgur is an alternative but on mobile it redirects to ad filled site 😔).

Sorry was working on writing the comment 😪

Main issue is when you embed image in body with no other text and attach an image a render bug shows up

While I like spotify for music there are three things that bug me about it:

• Anker.fm ads. Just a rant I hate anker.fm auto injection ads. If you try sleeping to a pod cast it wil go from normal volume TO SHOUTING ABOUT STATEFARM OR DUNKIN. While this issue also occurs on third party podcasting apps spotify dynamically injects a banner ad into podcast art and hyperlinks the ad. I might be overeacting (I hate these kind of deeplink ads). To be clear I don’t mind host read ads like linus sponsor shoutouts but dynamic ad injection is awfull.

• No chapter support

Podcast republic is a good alternative (assuming your just planning to use it on mobile/web)

Won’t it not be different since all browsers on iOS (chrome, firefox, brave, etc) are forced to use WebKit unlike Android?

A bit of a problem Lemmy doesn’t support background push notifications (when not opened in browser tab).

Currently apps like memmy rely on a server to poll Lemmy servers (say ever min) to check for new messages then relay a push message.

Problem is this isn’t very scalable (dev reported 3gb of bandwidth used for only 800 accounts).

Second question would the US gov consider google “to big to fail” and just inject a ton of money to restore it (or give enought time to break it up)?

Kinda curious 😉

I doubt people will pay for a windows subscription. Most will stay on 10/11 indefinitely and Microsoft will probably backtrack pretty quickly (look at windows 10 to 11 migration) 😉

I use a combination of a MacMini Oracle cloud, probably not best long term solution but it’s free (while it lasts).

Stuff that runs on Oracle:

• caddy proxy (mostly used for Mac reverse proxy)
• couch db (obsidian live sync plugin)

Stuff on Mac:

• blue bubbles (iMessage relay for Android)
• Plex (for photo backup)

Aside from that not much else 😊

What kinda bugs me about youtube premium is that even if you pay you still get ads via baked in sponsors. I know creators have the right to do what they want with there content but I wish as a user there is an economical opiton to truely block ads.

Currently there are two paid models:

1. Nebula like services. I kinda wish more platforms like this would popup since atleast when you use them you truely get no ads (no baked in nor platform injected). While they have a lot of creators a lot of creators are missing from the platform (its mostly education/tech focused).

2. Patreon/Floatplane. Now this is typically the more popular option with creators as it guarantees a reasonably stable cash flow. The problem is as a user if you have to subscribe to multiple patreons for adfree content it can easly get to the cost of a cable bill (assume each creator charges $10 per month if you have 10-20 creators your follow you could be looking at a minimum of $100-$200 a month just to enjoy adfree content).

A kinda caviot is idk how much it costs in time/labor for production of youtube videos for major channels like linus. It could be that services like Nebula/Vessle would never be able to cover production cost hence why a patreon model is used. Even youtube ads if I recall only was able to cover about only one of their employees saleries (a lot but not enough to sustain the company).

I hope this post didn’t come of as selfish/greedy.

There is a self host sync plugin for obsidian (I’m assuming you just want to self host not any other specific reasons)

https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync

I currently use it with a self hosted docker instance of couchdb

https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync/blob/main/docs/setup_own_server.md

Edit alternativly their is Joplin (but not sure about how you used obsidian/zotero)

This might be a hot take but I wonder how this would be priced.

It could be handy for cloud gaming (since gforce now publishers are trying to block it).

Try playing super Mario Galaxy Wii while walking on a treadmill

Used to use Apollo and Reddit sync now switched over to Jeroba for Lemmy (android) and pwa for iPad

Might consider sync for Lemmy after it develops.

One thing I like about lemmy (at least for now) is since communities are a lot smaller than reddit their is a limit of new content that can be generted per day (if you sub to 20 or less comunities).

This kinda helps avoid the reddit doom scrooling (I’m guilty of this especially during the blackouts and spez issues).
