The official lemmy community for Voyager, an open source, mobile-first client for lemmy.

Neat find. Thank you.
Obviously, it can only search one way, so subreddits that are combinations of words only find communities named exactly the same (e.g /r/andor finds !cassianandor@feddit.nl but /r/StarWarsAndor doesn't, and /r/starwars doesn't find !star_wars@lemmy.world), but given how many communities are named the same, that's not much of an issue (and it can always be supplemented by manual searching, of course).
I noticed this as well. I really appreciated that this was even there. Totally forgot some subreddits that were picked up with this feature.
Just a reminder, If you get an error while trying to search communities with this feature, you may have hit the rate limit of the server.
I was using lemmy.world to find instances for my own instance and almost every other search gave me an error. Waiting about a minute was enough.
Interesting, that's likely to have happened to me and I didn't realize it. Thank you!
It depends on your instance, too. lemmy.world has very generous rate limits
I wish they hadn't removed the option to use your Apollo backup. I installed Apollo and made a backup before Apollo shut down, and I still have that file, but I no longer have a Reddit account.
Does this give Lemmy or WefWef (Voyager) your Reddit credentials?
No, it just takes a multi Reddit link that you paste, and for each subreddit, it will search for alternatives across the Fediverse.
You can select them one-by-one and subscribe to any you fancy.
No it's just a string of text: "https://old.reddit.com/r/subreddit1+subreddit2+subreddit3"
Nope. The multireddit link itself contains the subreddit names. All Voyager has to do is simple string parsing to get them.
No - you copy-paste a link that encodes the list of subreddits you were subscribed to, you could copy it from another machine entirely if you wanted
What do you mean by "paste it in Voyager?" I couldn't find anything fediverse related googling for that.
Settings > Migrate Subreddits > Tap multireddit > paste.
Iβm just now trying this and nothing happens when I do it. Does it take time to work?
In this app (that this community is for and you're presumably using), go to Settings, then Migrate Subreddits and press on the part that says 'Multireddit link' until the paste option comes up.
