wefwef

I don’t many Wefwef. I’ve heard much worse.

That said, if you are going to change it, do it now and move on.

Ez wefwef

For many ppl RIF is Reddit. For me wefwef is Lemmy.

Don't change.

Vote for keeping wefwef. It’s kitschy and odd and unique.

Voyager sounds good to me!

+1 for Voyager

NCC-1701. No bloody A, B, C, or D.

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

Another GrecoRoman god (in the style of Apollo, as an homage)?

Am I the only one who doesn't know what wefwef stands for?

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!

Voyager sounds safer overall, but wefwef is cute and should be kept somewhere

Change it if you want but “Voyager” sounds like some corporate nothing app named by bean pushers and commitees.

I think wefwef is a silly name and I’m surprised that so many people in the comment section like it, because I find the name to be cringeworthy (sorry).

But of course, I will still continue to use this app regardless of what it’s called, just like I still use DuckDuckGo as my search engine, despite it having a ridiculous name lol.

Apollos chief epithet, Phoebus is my vote. Though it seems to only be common among the ancients.

~~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!

My vote for wefwef since it‘s unique and snappy.

Adding my vote to keep wefwef. I think it's more fun than Voyager or other options that have been proposed.

I would love to have it as Voyager, because the app seems to be Apollo's spiritual successor so might as well embrace the identity. Also, seeing that there are concerns that Voyager is taken by X or Y the simple addition of LM to the name should make distinct and free from any attachments. So:

Voyager LM

I cast my vote

I prefer Wefwef, especially the dog barking sound. As an alternative I propose Lemlem - which sounds like a dog drinking.

I love Voyager!

i like wefwef

Someone already owns voyager.com - naming a product can be difficult these days as most common names are taken.

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

Though personally I like both.

Voyager does sound cool, and fits the theme of what you’re going for.

But other people mentioning discoverability has me leaning towards keeping the name wefwef. Or come up with an equally unique name.

+1 for Voyager

Adama or Starbuck

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 fine, although Wef Wef is such a nice, unique name I actually love it a lot.

Stick with wefwef. It has an originality unlike voyager (plenty of those)

I prefer voyager, or even “voyage”.

Lemmynade? 🍋

I like the name, to be honest
