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.
