I’m having the same “failed to load media”-problem with feddit.org.

For weeks now.

I noticed, that it does not only affect Voyager but also one of the 3 browsers i have on my phone (Pixel 6a).

These two apps do have this exact problem:

• Voyager
• Via (Browser)

These two apps don’t have this problem:

• Chrome (Browser)
• Kiwi (Browser)

Then:

• I tried clearing the cache of Voyager & Via.
• I tried clearing the cache of the native web-view, just in case it’s the one that’s been used by voyager or via.
• I tried mobile & wi-fi.
• I tried various NordVPN servers.
• I tried an app to change the DNS servers.
• I tried a reboot.

Actually the Via-Browser even shows a “Nginx 403 Forbidden” page when i visit https://feddit.org/.

My guess would be the User-Agent string; But since most Voyager users don’t seem to have this problem this probably isn’t it. 🤔

It’s weird 🤷🏼‍♂️

I’ll add for info: I’m on android voyager version 2.37.2 and via a sopuli.xyz account, I can see all the posts/images on ich_iel.

I get the same error from all feddit.org posts on Voyager

I also have a lot of those failed to load media errors on feddit.org posts (from lemmy.eco.br).

I haven’t been able to repro, works fine for me, android+piefed.zip+viewing ich_iel. Have you tried asking the feddit.org admins? Maybe you could send them your IP and they could investigate the logs. Its possible they are blocking the user agent/ip. Voyager should send “VoyagerApp” somewhere in the user agent for the native apps.

I believe piefed support in Voyager is very experimental at this point, so it probably shouldn’t be a surprise that there are issues.
