Mild guess. The dev(s) don't know about navigation buttons. Gestures have been "standard" for a while now so maybe someone forgot about this as a possibility?

Go to settings - appearance - theme- device mode (scroll down)
Select android or apple depending on your device
Oh snap! I've been putting up with this for over a year! I had no idea there was as a toggle. Why doesn't the android build installed from FDroid default to the android compatibility mode?
At first I thought this was a meme akin to not being able to get up because cat.

App devs have a tendency to not take into account mobile OS design. It's aggravating.
Voyager does this to me occasionally. I just endtask it and re open.
Try rotating ur screen landscape, then back to portrait, seems to temporarily fix it for me.
How the heck am I supposed to use the app if I keep clicking the desktop/main page? Actually, how is the desktop called on a phone? Hold that thought, its not useful to me rantnow! All I rant to do is rant!
Rant this ranting rantotanter app!
I'm more concerned why there isn't an Outbox button, but I digress..
I don't have an exact answer, but have you tried turning the screen sideways?
I have this issue but at the top of the screen. The title bar sometimes overlaps the time, notifications, etc.
I have the navigation buttons turned on at the bottom of the screen but I don't think I've seen this problem
Looks like the developer doesn’t know about the env(safe-area-inset-bottom) variable in CSS. Voyager is a web app, which is why it has this problem to start (I think), but that variable can be used as margin/padding to clear those buttons (and similar on other OS-es).
Btw, any lemmy app that isn't a webrender?
It works properly on my phone. Does the APK work?
Damn cat!
This is it. The cat is a bit more heavy than it looks, and is pushing the buttons down into the bottom of the phone. Try feeding it some snacks filled with helium, the problem should disappear after a couple of days!
