Now that I got your attention with that clickbait title..

But it's also true. This is the last release of wefwef. Tonight the app will be renamed, and all future releases will be Voyager!

Note: you don't need to do anything if you have the app installed. The app will continue to be named 'wefwef' on your homescreen until you reinstall.

So what's new for 0.17.0?

Block communities and users

It's here! You can now block users and communities! Just go to their page and tap the ellipsis in the header. Additionally, there's a new "Filters & Blocks" section to settings (applied per user)!

There's also an option to hide all NSFW content for your account!

Finally, it's now much easier to message users. Just tap on their profile and "Send Message"!

Favorite communities

Favorite communities for them to be at the top of the community quick switcher and your communities list. So much easier than scrolling to find the communities you frequent most often! Thanks @httpjamesm for this feature that's been a long time coming.

To favorite (or unfavorite), just visit the community and tap the ellipse in the header.

Bugs and other small enhancements!

Thanks to everyone that has helped and contributed! Check out the github release for all the other stuff that was completed. https://github.com/aeharding/wefwef/releases/tag/0.17.0

Thanks, and see you on [email protected]!

Out of curiosity, why was it ever wefwef? And what's now motivating this change?

[–] [email protected] 52 points 1 year ago (2 children)

But I liked the name!

[–] reverie 45 points 1 year ago

It always reminded me of the random six-letter brands on Amazon.

Like I would see WEFWEF emblazoned on the side of a cheap USB dock or kitchen gadget

I did too! Now I am sad.

Don't be sad. Here's a hug!

Beep boop I'm a human mimicking a bot.

[–] aeharding 8 points 1 year ago

Good human!

[–] Xylinna 5 points 1 year ago

It did make me laugh, thanks for that!

[–] jaackf 28 points 1 year ago

They had us in the first half, i'm not gonna lie...!

Thanks for your hard work on this, great app!

[–] Dynixx 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nooooo, I loved wefwef (the name). Can't wait to boast to random kids in the future how I still have wefwef installed. Just hope my phone lives that long...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

i use the app but i will never uninstall wefwef(/voyager)web app

[–] jarvis2323 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So awesome! Goodbye rule 196!

[–] vzq 5 points 1 year ago

Really? For me it was a great discovery. I had no idea I needed that much queer shitposting in my life, but somehow it turns out I do!

Thanks for all the quick updates!

[–] Allan8795 11 points 1 year ago

Good work team

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

Any plans for an AppStore / google play store release or are you keeping it open with just a web app?

[–] jose 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Honest question what would be the benefit? Slower updates is the biggest reason I can think against the idea.

[–] ANIMATEK 3 points 1 year ago

In-app purchases for some extra features and supported development is the main reason I’d like to see it in stores.

[–] mykl 8 points 1 year ago

Oh man, do you ever sleep? Congrats on another great-looking release!

[–] orangeNgreen 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As they say, bon voyager

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

May I ask if there will be a way to disable de NSFW blur?

[–] aeharding 5 points 1 year ago

Yes

Nice one - fantastic to see all the releases and how the app is progressing :)

[–] shotgun_crab 4 points 1 year ago

The new name is better probably. I think I won't reinstall it just to keep the name for a while (:

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Good work! Keep it up

[–] Rhoeri 3 points 1 year ago

Does this mean multired- ahem…. I mean multi-communities are on the way?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

@aeharding but the name was so cute!

[–] DSAlKota 3 points 1 year ago

Damn if you scared the shit outta me

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Great release, finally I can curate my feed better. One thing is missing I didn’t realize before though, could you add the option to also filter whole instances?

This isn’t strictly necessary but for example the lemy.nl communities are extremely active to the point I see half a dozen posts from them in direct succession on the all feed and that’s good for them, but i don’t speak dutch. I have no use for articles and news discussion in dutch. And since it is a bit tedious filtering every community manually, being able to filter out whole instances would be very useful.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Huzzah for blocking! Thanks for your hard work!

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

Does anyone else have the problem where wefwef goes all black if you go into another app on your phone and you have to close it and reopen? It's very frustrating.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I had this with PWAs downloaded via Firefox Nightly and regular Firefox (on Android). ~~Wefwef~~ Voyager via Chrome is working perfectly fine now for me at least.

[–] ramble81 2 points 1 year ago

I think that's more an issue of PWAs and the underlying browser. I have 3 PWAs installed (Wefwef, Kbin and Google News) and they will all do that to me at some point, which leads me to believe it's the browser. I'm using Firefox on Android if that makes any difference.
