wefwef

Yes god yes! Anything but wefwef lol. Voyager sounds great.

I personally am down for the name change. Voyager sounds much more iconic and is easier to pass on verbally than wef wef. It’s also better to make such a change as early as possible to avoid confusion for newcomers.

I'm loving wefwef on Safari on my MBP and on my iPhone as well. I think the name is quirky. Why would you want to change it?

Voyager 🤘

Voyager is vastly superior as a name. I’m on wefwef right now, but the name did make me immediately question it :)

Otherwise awesome client so far!

I love Voyager!

Seems like Voyager is a hit...

... but, I do offer another series of suggestions:

• Hubertos, the patron saint of hunters. In addition to linkages to a cure for rabies, he is the patron of hunters, which has fit with the lemmings and critters that we share online.
• Muroidea is the name for the superfamily of rodents, which you can read more about here.
• ~~Artemis is another series of manned space flights from NASA~~.
• Ulysses is another example. Add in it being a name of a mythological explorer, and it adds another layer.
• Mushak: Ganesh, from the Hindu pantheon, rides a mouse. This mouse's name is Mushak according to some sects. As a divine mount, there's some fun pieces of lore and how this app is how Lemmy users can ride into knowledge of the world around them.
• Ratatoskr is a Norse rodent, who carries messages on the world tree in that mythology. As this app shares messages and connects people, it's a fun way to share the core mission of Lemmy.

Those are some ideas! Hopefully some of this is helpful!

Voyager sounds like an excellent name mate, much easier to tell new people. "hey Reddit is shit, download voyager instead"

+1 for Voyager

Something like Voyager as suggested would be much more friendly to new users

Though personally I like both.

+1 for Voyager

I like voyager. I’m for it.

The name wefwef is silly but that’s fine with me too. It’s probably silly because I don’t get it.

You could call it TitFart and I’d be stoked as fuck that it exists.

Vote for Voyager.

I like “Lunar”.

What about Artemis? the name of the new NASA moon missions

Since those and this app are a spiritual successor to Apollo

I like Voyager more than wefwef but I think we can do even better

You absolutely should. The new name is much better!

I'm not against wefwef, but it sounds a bit silly. I like voyager, but in the end I think that the final word should be that of @aeharding

+1 for Voyager, things are still young and evolving.

Voyager is nice. If we end up liking and using it a lot, we will give it a silly nickname.

I love Voyager! I think it’s a great name for an Apollo inspired app.

1st vote would be Phoebus
2nd would be Voyager.

I like Voyager since it's a web app too, like it can "voyage" to any platform. Or even referring to federation, you can "voyage" between instances.

Voyager sounds good to me.

I would love to have it as Voyager, because the app seems to be Apollo's spiritual successor so might as well embrace the identity. Also, seeing that there are concerns that Voyager is taken by X or Y the simple addition of LM to the name should make distinct and free from any attachments. So:

Voyager LM

I cast my vote

Apollos chief epithet, Phoebus is my vote. Though it seems to only be common among the ancients.

Another vote for Voyager.

~~But wouldn't that damage your.. brand recognition, so to speak? When someone doesn't know you've changed your name and therefore can't find you, they'll assume you don't exist anymore.~~

Nvm all that, they'll learn. ;)

Voyager sounds way, way better than Wefwef, plus it's in the same theme as Apollo, so that's great!

Absolutely. WTF is “wefwef”?

Voyager sounds good to me!

I like Voyager a lot better than the current name.

Change it if you want but “Voyager” sounds like some corporate nothing app named by bean pushers and commitees.

+1 for Voyager

Yes, wefwef app is brilliant though! But the name puts people off for sure!

Voyager is nice

Voyager sounds amazing - huge improvement over the current name which sounds like an unfortunate but mildly irritating STD
