Wefwef my beloved
I keep hearing more and more (overwhelming) positive praise regarding that client. I’ll stick with daily TestFlight Memmy though, I don’t know if I could ever use an app that calls itself ‘wef wef’
It’s changing it’s name to Voyager, if that helps. It now has registered and linked the domain vger.app and the actual renaming should happen sometime in the next few days.
Wait, really? Thank god! Cool name too, sounds like a callback to Apollo.
Guess I won’t have to have that awkward conversation with my friends where I try to explain that the client I’m using is not “Reddit for furries”
I also like the new name. I use Android so I’ve never used Apollo, but Voyager is definitely one of my favorite ways to use Lemmy right now, I like the gesture controls and how intuitive everything feels, and it gets better every update.
I have an Android phone, but also an iPad, so I used to use Sync and Apollo. The best thing about Wefwef / Voyager is that I can use the same app on both devices now!
Indeed, cross platform apps are convenient. PWAs often get a bad rap, but I think Voyager has implemented it pretty well.
Yeah same here, I used the official app (disgusting I know) because I didn’t mind it that much and also am on Android, but I really like wefwef/voyager. Only complaint is I don’t particularly like the apple aesthetic but I’ve heard there will be an option to change that soon
I love the Star Trek reference
I prefer wefwef.
That’s fair, I personally prefer Voyager but it’s entirely subjective.
Wefwef is amazing!

What’s wrong with «wefwef»? Genuine question I guess 😂
It sounds like a toddler talking to a puppy.
And?
I withdraw my critique.
Tbh the main reason I posted was because wefwef has basically the exact same UI as Apollo
and was made by the same developer. Also apparently it’s changing it’s name to Voyager as I learned from other comments on this postIt was not made by the same developer as Apollo.
I love my browser! (Fennec, Firefox Fork)
Firefox is amazing! I use the regular version tho, any particular reasons that you use the fork?
I just don’t like dealing with google’s shenanigans. Like tracking, but most importantly, the potential of content manipulation. Google is already trying to stop adblocking in youtube, maybe they’ll try to fuck with that. They also like to recomment to you conspiracy theories if you, say, watch even one political video. Firefox, while open source, still relies on google play to get distributed, so you never know if they’re adding trackers and other shit to it. Fennec uses F-Droid to be distributed. And Fennec is actually maintained by Mozilla, the same organization that maintains Firefox. You should use Fennec, it’s essentially the same as Firefox, but makes tracking harder.
is google a part of the actual development on firefox tho? It would only by distributed by google play on a google phone im pretty sure, on my laptop I downloaded and installed it directly from their website, and use ublock origin on both my computer and phone to limit tracking and ads. for me specifically google messing with youtube adblocking and such is less of an issue because my phone is mostly google anyways unfortunately, plus i have a youtube premium subscription becuase i dont think theres a way to block ads on the phone app and i also like youtube music.
But why can’t I have the images on the right like RIF? For now I think I like Connect better.
Idk, never used RIF or Apollo myself but wefwef/voyager has the exact same ui apparently
I’m impressed with the content people are posting here so far and the experience is not all that different from browsing reddit! It really does beg the question of what is reddit offering that is worth Devs actually paying for an API?
Basically nothing of unique value really comes from Reddit the company. Their platform is easily replicable (as you can see from the MANY Reddit clones other than Lemmy) and their staff are glorified powermods and repost bots. The only thing Reddit has of value is its communities, and those got where they are despite Reddit’s best efforts.
Yes, it really does go to show how big tech companies are making money off not just individuals but communities of people. Definitely a good reason to delete the rest of my posts and reddit account
That’s not fair. They have uniquely shitty mobile apps and mod tools for their own forums.
Interestingly, infinity still works. I didn’t update as they asked me to, and it’s still fully functional.
Reddit lost me though.
Unfortunately they banned por… some explicit posts to only the reddit app and no longer can you see them on infinity.
It also looks like you have to create a login to see NSFW links and content.
You can just temp-mail.org for a temp email and make an account with that.
Memmy has pretty similar experience as Apollo. Love it
Yeah it’s pretty great, at least for such a new product. Do you know of any official memmy discussion/support community? I have some feedback for the devs (mostly accessibility stuff).
Found it!
I’m thinking of making my own app (iOS only, I don’t know android development).
Haven’t searched for official Memmy community.
I used Infiniti myself but yeah, I missed the old Reddit after the crackdown on free speech in 2018. I left months before APIpocalypse and I’ll never return.
Why not APIcalypse?
Agreed. That’s a better portmanteau.
It’s day 4 and I still have nfi how to browse properly here… Im loving being lost again
I’m just posting to see what account I’m currently using.
Is there anything in particular that you find confusing?
Narh nothing specific just general navigation between different instances and communities and then how to filter the content so I don’t comment on a 2 year old post which was the first post in my feed which may or may not have already happened…
You want to sort by “Active” or “Hot” to see newer posts. Or something like “Top of the Day/Week”. If you want, you can change what your feed defaults to in your settings at the top. (This also applies to Lemmy apps.) You can also change the default filter type on your feed to “Subscribed” if you want it to be like Reddit, where by default it just shows you communities you’re subscribed to across all instances.
As for navigation, yeah it’s a hot mess rn. I feel like when someone posts a link that goes to a different Lemmy instance than the one you’re currently using, there needs to be a button or something attached to it to open that link inside your current instance, instead of taking you away to one you aren’t logged into. But I’m willing to bet that apps like Jerboa or Liftoff will solve this soon if Lemmy doesn’t do it first.

Voyager*
Wefwef changed its name.
Wefwef did kinda sound like a dog with a messed up face trying to bark.
I noticed your username is the same as Christian Selig’s on reddit

“Lemmy World? That’s like eBaum’s World, right?”
With a little Sublime Directory sprinkled in.
Leonard Memmy’s World of Memes
Graham Norton has really roughed up a bit.
