wefwef

I like Wefwef. It is unique while Voyager is quite boring.

I really like the name „voyager“ as an Hommage to Apollo

I like WefWef. like someone else mentioned, it makes me think of a little puppy learning to growl or bark, lol. Mostly though, its6 unique, easy to type, and gloriously well suited to finding via search engines. If you google "wefwef", the top result is your app's Github project, and the next few results are about the app as well. If you change to something like "Voyager", theres an awful lot of competition for those search results. It'll get buried under results about the space project and Star Trek. On a personal level aside from that, I'd vote for staying wefwef myself.

Voyager sounds great to me!

Captain Janeway is standing by to take command 🫡

How do I install the app? Cannot find it on Play

I like Voyager a lot better than the current name.

Yeah, I think the name Voyager is a lot better than the current name

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

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

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!

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

Voyager sounds good to me!

I like the name wefwef reminds me of a cute dog barking at me.

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

~~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!

Name is good woof woof haha

Why can’t we have both?

Wefwef Voyager or Voyager by wefwef

+1 for Voyager

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

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

Though personally I like both.

Another vote for a new name here. Voyager For Lemmy is good, but anything else also works. Recommending "WefWef" out loud to anyone is just silly, especially in other languages.

I don't think should is the right word. I personally don't like the name much as it somehow sounds just off-putting to me (it doesn't read like a puppy sound, maybe because I am not a native English speaker). And there is clearly something to it as this is the only app where people are discussing changing the name. Even Jerboa seems to be safe from it even though the name sounds a bit weird.

Voyager seems way nicer and professional to me.

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!

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

Since those and this app are a spiritual successor to Apollo

+1 for Voyager

Voyager sounds good to me.
