I am going to miss you, wefwef.

    It will take a while for the app to ‘climb’ the search result ranks (doesn’t help that ‘wefwef’ was a lot more unique of a name than Voyager, but we’ll get there 💪).

      I am still a bit miffed the name was changed at all, I liked the uniqueness of wefwef. The new one feels very generic in comparison

        I like WefWef more too. That just sounds like something you’d use to go on a site called Lemmy.

        Voyager just sounds generic and doesn’t stand out.

        It’s also not as fun to type/say. Was there a poll to vote on the name change that I missed?

    “Voyager Lemmy app” gets you a full page of relevant links.

    I’m sure Apollo had the same issues for a bit before Google’s algorithm sorted out what people were actively seeking.

    I don’t use Voyager, but I would imagine that the SEO would be much better if the app was temporarily called “Voyager (formerly wefwef)”

    That way people not on Lemmy will hear about wefwef and stumble onto Voyager correctly.

    The install program calls it Vger.app so I renamed it on my phone Vger in homage to the old Star Trek episode. Seems like a better name anyway.
