[resolved] Voyager now forces sorting feeds by Active
(Voyager 1.29.0, iOS, iPhone SE2)
Despite setting the app to sort by Hot, re-applying said setting, and manually sorting by Hot, the sort always changes back to Active once I leave and re-enter a feed.
This just started happening with the latest iOS update.
Edit: Problem resolved itself after re-applying the setting over and over. Probably not an actual bug.
Sort has been changed so you can set a default sort in the Settings! This also fixes a lot of issues, for example if you change the sort while viewing a community and then change sort, when you swipe back your sort will be preserved (and you feed won’t jump) :)
Oh, and I forgot to add, a “remember sort by community” feature is coming shortly.
First thing I said in my post was that I set the app (in settings) to Hot.
When it started behaving this way, I changed it to New then returned it to Hot just in case the setting didn't stick somehow. Despite now saying the default sort is Hot, it is only sorted by Hot if I manually change the feed to Hot each and every time I return to it.
Every time I open a feed or community, regardless of what I set it to in the past, it always reverts to Active.
Just to double check, did you change the comment default sort? There’s two default sorts in settings, one for posts and one for comments.
Once you double check you’re adjusting post default sort, try changing default in settings to “top 6 Hours” and restart the app and let me know if it is reverting to active. Thank you!🙏
The most annoying part is I’m now responding to posts that are like 4+ days old. Long past “Active”
Active also triggers if old-ish posts have new comments in them. Which is why you get 4 day old posts when the have set the feed to sort by Active
Still getting the same behavior. Change setting to Top(6 hours), go to a community, setting is back to active. Change again, go back to Local, it’s back to Active.
