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.

Can we please do this? I’d prefer The Federation to Fediverse

Now, how are we going to deal with smaller instances calling themselves the Marquis?

It’s called Voyager and the URL is vger, guess that’s what OP was going for.

Yeah, unfortunately DS9 was already taken.

If it is, I love it

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!

The server is going to be fixed on Tuesday.

It’s an excellent app, not really needed another reason to use it, but this sure is one :)
