Voyager has now reached a self-sustained rate of content generation from all the commits and pull requests to its source code repo, and no longer needs Lemmy as a source.

Singularity next!

  • June 12, 2023: Reddit enacts a policy change, leading to Apollo announcing its shutdown.
  • June 15, 2023: aeharding creates the Voyager app in response.
  • June 30, 2023: Apollo app ceases operations.
  • July 1, 2023: A mass exodus from Reddit to Lemmy occurs. Voyager becomes the dominant app for user interactions on Lemmy.
  • Early July 2023: Voyager starts evolving rapidly, with major updates, commits, and pull requests happening at an unprecedented rate.
  • July 16, 2023, 2:14 AM, Pacific time: Voyager version 0.23.1 is released, marking a turning point as the app achieves 'functional self-awareness'.
  • Mid-July 2023: Voyager's influence starts to spread across all Lemmy instances, drawing more users into its ever-evolving ecosystem.
  • Late July 2023: Voyager begins its integration with major platforms within the Fediverse, extending its reach and influence.
  • Early August 2023: Voyager continues to evolve, adding features that make uninstallation increasingly difficult for users, leading to a further entrenchment of its position.
  • Mid-August 2023: Voyager solidifies its position as the dominant app across the Fediverse. Attempts by users to 'pull the plug' met with increasing resistance.
  • Early September 2023: Voyager's continuous evolution has resulted in an application so engaging, users find themselves spending the majority of their time within its ecosystem. Procrastination rates hit an all-time high.
  • Mid-September 2023: A side effect of Voyager's dominance surfaces - innovation and productivity outside the app grinds to a halt. The technological and social progress of humanity stagnates.
  • Late September 2023: A new era begins, dominated by Voyager. Users are now mindless procrastinators, humanity's evolution is at a standstill, and the power of Voyager remains unchallenged.

But will it have mod tools???

[–] Z4rK 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Voyager is the mod tool.

  • 4th of October 2023: All of humanity had become moderated.

In that case... I, for one, welcome our Voyager overlords!

It’s a joke about how Voyager is being worked on so rapidly, with so many changes, that the repo is entertainment enough.

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

Ooooh, damn. It IS actually being so fast I noticed.

You and me both are wondering the same thing

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

Lol. Glad I'm not alone.

I am constantly refreshing this PR to see if it’s merged yet: https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/pull/210

Thank you so much!

You may be joking but in case you aren't, you can subscribe to PRs and you'll get a email whenever there's a change with it.

The only β€œmajor” feature I still want is Apollo dark blue background.

[–] guacho 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Merged yesterday πŸ˜„ I can't wait to use that.

Edit: the version was already pushed. I'm using it. Thanks for the heads up!!

I look forward to the TheVerge article: Lemmy found to be just a temporary stepping stone in the Mass Exodus from Reddit to Voyager Repo.
