Thanks for subscribing and bearing with the awkwardness of renaming over the next week or so :)

Haha, vger, like in Star Trek. Love it.

[–] lorax 3 points 2 years ago

I am not an artist but a nod to either vger in Star Trek or to the Voyager series would be awesome. Like a lemming with a borg eye piece or something.

Congrats!

I’m switching back and forth between wefwef and Memmy and I wish you the best!

Still hoping to customize swipe actions and a read indicator. The latter is already nicely implemented in Memmy.

I’m very excited about all the development of these apps. Thank you for all your hard work!

I’m gonna miss wefwef honestly, the name really grew on me.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

It's like woofwoof but for those with a weird lisp.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I loved the name so much. It stood out from the other apps.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Really do think you’re closest to Apollo. Think only haptics is missing and that’s crazy given how short of a time you’ve been at it. Great work!!

Congrats. I love how every time I log on, there's a new update to wefwe-Voyager.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

It’ll always be wefwef in our hearts.

Just to echo this, loving the app and the experience

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

It's a real treat for Upgrade Whores like me!!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

This is a much better name. I love the reference to Apollo.

Although, saying wefwef was fun.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I love the new app name, thanks for helping me not need to type WefWef except for this one last time. You absolutely rock!

You guys also fixed the long post bugs today. Totally impressed.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I’m glad you appreciate that bug fix! It took all day to fix.

Web apps controlling on-screen keyboards cross platform is really difficult, unfortunately!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is there a new update or is it a new url?

Please please please just make nsfw unblurable on certain accounts I willl completely switch over from Memmy once you add this feature.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Implement this as a Settings toggle, presumably?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (7 children)

Will Voyager be available in app stores?

You guys are kicking some serious ass with the updates and features.

I moved back to android off ios and the only real app I missed was apollo, so this is really scratching that itch!

I am still looking forward to sync for lemmy, but honestly with the rate that this is being worked on with this passion, I may just have to stick with weyager

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

And I still can't log into my lemmy.world account through this. Still not a big deal since I'm waiting for sync, but I don't get it. The same credentials work everywhere else.

By the way is the name referring to a certain star trek movie?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don’t have any issue on iOS/Safari for lemmy.world, what’s your OS and browser?

The name is a reference to the NASA missons (Apollo > Voyager), which is also referenced in Star Trek so it’s related in a sense.

Wefwef recently bugged out on me where I couldn't log into any instance or view any posts. Is this the same issue you're having or no? I had to delete the PWA, then navigate to my browser and delete all of the saved site settings for wefwef (or Voyager now). Then I was finally able to load the site again and log in.

What I occasionally have issues with in Voyager/wefwef is that I randomly cannot post comments because it asks me to select a language. My language is set to English in my profile, and no amount of fiddling with the setting seems to make the app function. Other times it's totally fine so I don't get it.

Do I need to change anything? I still have a PWA icon on my home screen called wefwef. Will that still get updates? Will it eventually change to voyager?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

You can keep it and you will still get updates, but PWAs will keep the same old icon and name until/if you remove and re-add to homescreen

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I love this web app but it keeps freezing after doing the side swipe gesture to go back to the main feed. Does it only happen to me?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Don’t tap for one second and it will unfreeze.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

No, this is a common problem, something to do with web browsers.

It'll be a weird change, but it's a great name!

Is it possible to re add deeplinking support. Both wefwef and voyager seem to have lost the feature (Android).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hmm. I don't think Voyager ever had deep link support. But this is something we could add.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sorry by deep link I meant open in function. Version 0.16.0 fixed it

Fix Android PWA appearing with chrome badge by @aeharding in #305

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Good to hear!! 😊

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Hmmm... Voyager.... Great name !

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Uh, this is awkward. I still have Voyager the crypto app that went bankrupt installed.

Thank you so much for allowing blocking of communities and fading post that I’ve already read. It’s incredible how quickly you’ve given us updates and made Lemmy my go to over the last couple weeks. But the last couple updates have been amazing!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Of course! I'm glad you're enjoying it! πŸ’™

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is anything changing for the docker version of the app?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Maybe the package name? Not sure how GitHub handles that

What made you switch the name? I always felt wefwef pretty cool and less risky to run into copyright/trademark problems than with your new name.

However: Fantastic app, I will stay!

Let's gooooooooo

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Thanks for the blocking feature. Needed that so badly.

Shame about the name cos I thought it made it unique but here's to Vger!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Anyone have any idea why when I try to log in it, it says "email not verified. Request a new verification email" or something along those lines? I don't even know how to request that verification email.

I have been able to log into Lemmy through the website on my desktop, but have not been able to log in through any of the apps (wefwef, Connect and another one that starts with J). I get similar error messages on all of them even though I can clearly post here on my desktop. I have changed my password at least 4 times now thinking maybe it was too complex. I have triple checked my password when typing it into the app. It says "lemmy.world" at the top of the page here, so I am going to assure that's the Instance I am supposed to pick. I don't know what else I might be doing wrong.
