I have the same issue with Voyager on Android. Starts normally, briefly shows the UI but then everything disappears and I am left with a white screen.
Also already re-installed. Doesn't change anything.

Yes I now have a white screen. Think it depends if you are in light or dark mode.
Noticed on the iOS app that if you Force Touch or long hold the screen a pill shape appears that you can drag around the screen as though you were dragging and dropping something.
Well this is weird. Uninstalled and re-installed. All was okay with the default Lemmy.world profile. Logged into my account and the screen goes black.
It was working fine this morning so I don’t know what could have changed ?
So this is also happening with the PWA.
However, if I put my iPhone into Flight Mode then Voyager opens and doesn’t crash (but there’s no content)
So it looks like something it’s trying to display is causing it to crash.
@aeharding@lemmy.world Any thoughts?
Hmm, I haven't experienced this! Maybe it has to do with a specific instance? Can you still replicate it? Thanks!
Welcome back hope you had a good time.
Yes, it’s happening every time. One more report from an Android user. If I try on a slow internet connection, I can see that it gets as far as loading the bottom bar with an out of date notification count and then the screen goes blank.
Signed in with my discuss.online account which is on 0.18.4 beta 8.
Was working okay and the. Just stopped.
I’ll try using my Beehaw account and see what happens
This is interesting,
Can add my Beehaw.org account okay. Everything works but if I then add my discuss.online account I get an instant blank screen. But Beehaw is also on 0.18.4
I re-installed and added a test feddit.uk account which worked perfectly and again as soon as I added discuss.online the screen goes blank.
It must be something about discuss.online or a post in the feed. Someone else mentioned a photo causing a crash to the communities list. Perhaps it’s something to do with that?
Edit: successfully added the discuss.online account to Memmy.
It seems Voyager will need updating to work with any version of Lemmy above 0.18.4
Ah. I'm also on discuss.online
They did some investigation and it seems to be a Lemmy change in 0.18.4 versions that will be incorporated in 0.19. Some 3rd party apps don’t seem to work with it and will need updating.
@aeharding@lemmy.world does this look like an easy fix? Im not finding an alternative client that works as well as Voyager normally does.
I’m told that more instances have upgraded so this problem will spread. Once updated they can’t roll back.
I experienced a similar issue loading certain images, it opens it for a second then crashes me back to the feed selection after a black screen for a second or two.
Just to sum up the issue.
There has been a change in Lemmy (from 0.18.4.8 onwards) that is causing Voyager and Jerboa not to work.
The consensus seems to be that Voyager and Jerboa will need to update or as instances upgrade they will stop working.
Edit: Sync also now confirmed to be affected. Edit: Liftoff! Also affected.
Edit: 13/09/23 Liftoff! Have an instance to test an RC against. Sync seem to have a fix or at least to give an error message.
Edit: Voyager has been updated. I can go back to my favourite client. Thank you, thank you.
