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’

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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.

[–] RubberBandMan 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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”

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

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.

[–] astropenguin5 2 points 2 years ago

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

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

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!

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

Indeed, cross platform apps are convenient. PWAs often get a bad rap, but I think Voyager has implemented it pretty well.

I love the Star Trek reference

Wefwef is amazing!

[–] Swuden 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What’s wrong with «wefwef»? Genuine question I guess 😂

[–] foggy 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It sounds like a toddler talking to a puppy.

I withdraw my critique.

I love my browser! (Fennec, Firefox Fork)

[–] astropenguin5 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Firefox is amazing! I use the regular version tho, any particular reasons that you use the fork?

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

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.

But why can't I have the images on the right like RIF? For now I think I like Connect better.

[–] astropenguin5 2 points 2 years ago

Idk, never used RIF or Apollo myself but wefwef/voyager has the exact same ui apparently

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Interestingly, infinity still works. I didn't update as they asked me to, and it's still fully functional.

Reddit lost me though.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Unfortunately they banned por... some explicit posts to only the reddit app and no longer can you see them on infinity.

[–] Xanthobilly 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It also looks like you have to create a login to see NSFW links and content.

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

You can just temp-mail.org for a temp email and make an account with that.

[–] mrpaw69 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Memmy has pretty similar experience as Apollo. Love it

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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).

[–] mrpaw69 3 points 2 years ago
[–] mrpaw69 2 points 2 years ago

I’m thinking of making my own app (iOS only, I don’t know android development).

Haven’t searched for official Memmy community.

It's day 4 and I still have nfi how to browse properly here.... Im loving being lost again

[–] whoops 6 points 2 years ago

I'm just posting to see what account I'm currently using.

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

Is there anything in particular that you find confusing?

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

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..

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

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.

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Agreed. That's a better portmanteau.

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

"Lemmy World? That's like eBaum's World, right?"

[–] High_Plains_Drifter 2 points 2 years ago

With a little Sublime Directory sprinkled in.
