Boo to that. Lots of people complained about the name “wefwef” being stupid, but I liked it because it was stupid!
Not sure if it has anything to do with the Star Trek series, though… or does it?
- V’ger seems like a direct nod to Star Trek 1.
  I mean, the fact that the Fediverse is not called The Federation is a missed opportunity.
  
  There is absolutely nothing stopping us from calling it the Federation.
  Or from assembling a group of federated instances of various fediverse apps called The United Federation of Instances.
- It’s called Voyager and the URL is vger, guess that’s what OP was going for.
- If it is, I love it
- Yeah, unfortunately DS9 was already taken.
- Nah, it’s called Voyager as a nod to Apollo, the most popular Reddit app that had to shutdown because of the api changes and the UI inspiration for wefwef/voyager. Been following wefwef/voyager since the beginning so I figured I’d chime in!
Wait till you learn about some backup software:
We got Borg Backup and Vorta
🙃
It’s an excellent app, not really needed another reason to use it, but this sure is one :)
