Just fired up Voyager on Android to discover a notification-style marker above the settings/gear icon. Opening Settings doesn't provide any clue as to why. Taking it further by tapping each of the top level menu items also doesn't show why.

Okay, Voyager. Keep your secrets...

Edit: F-Droid showed that Voyager had recently updated, so I tapped the recent apps button and swiped up to close Voyager. When I reopened it, the marker was gone.

Posted this to AskLemmy (https://lemmy.world/post/17088629), but thought it worth posting here:

I use old.lemmy.world as my interface and I've noticed that roughly every month I'm:

• Forcibly logged out and have to do the re-auth dance for no apparent reason.
• Everything I've set in Settings is forgotten: Default Listing reverts to All, Default Post Sort reverts to Hot, and so on.

My browser is set to retain cookies and such, so it's not PEBKAC/PICNIC. Why is Lemmy doing a nuke-from-low-orbit every month (roughly) despite me using it as recently as the day before? Why aren't my preferences being retained between logins?

I suspect the recent update (https://mastodon.world/@LemmyWorld/112706805419064266) explains the latest event, but the questions still stand.

Apologies if this has been asked before, but I didn't find mention of it. I use old.lemmy.world as my interface and I've noticed that roughly every month I'm:

1. Forcibly logged out and have to do the re-auth dance for no apparent reason.
2. Everything I've set in Settings is forgotten: Default Listing reverts to All, Default Post Sort reverts to Hot, and so on.

My browser is set to retain cookies and such, so it's not PEBKAC/PICNIC. Why is Lemmy doing a nuke-from-low-orbit every month (roughly; haven't measured it) despite me using it as recently as the day before? Isn't this bonkers practice?

Edit: I've just seen https://mastodon.world/@LemmyWorld/112706805419064266 which may explain it. Either way, the questions stand.
