User tags are going to be so useful. Keep up the good work, @aeharding@vger.social!
I just installed Voyager just to know that is the same as Wefwef, wtf. It seems that wefwef is the old name.
Yep. Always has been. Too many didn’t like the name, so he changed it early on. Kept the old one for those of us that liked it. Both domains are still available. I love the name wefwef.
That explains why I heard too little about wefwef, because is a good piece of software. I have no issue with the name 🤷
What y’all tagging me as?
Thank you! 💜
Make sure to also hit the tip button! Let’s keep aeharding motivated to keep improving Lemmy for us.
What are user tags?
A little note you can make that shows up next to someone’s name. That way when you see them later you can be reminded of something they said earlier. Particularly useful for keeping track of bad-faith trolls.
Oh hell yes.
Thank you! Voyager is awesome.
Ooh – I just noticed the user vote counts are colour coded, too. Nice touch!
I mean Voyager is like 15 billion miles from Earth and has been operating since the 70s. The Apollo program was very impressive but was discontinued decades ago.
I just realized why it’s called Voyager. Thanks!
Why? Cause they went on voyages?
15 billion miles? Pfft… I just saw on TV that it’s lost in the Delta quadrant! Can you believe it?!? That’s a bit further than 15 billion miles.
Here’s your upvote. Now take a lap.
I also thought it was about space. Good for the app though.
I don’t see it and FDroid didn’t say it has an update
Fdroid is lagging behind because the build changes I’ve made at the same time broke the reproducible builds. It’s slow turnaround but hopefully fixed soon.
It is. And I have to give a big thanks to the dev . Really amazing job to bring lemmy to a state of the art client for iOS
In my mind, Voyager was always on the forefront with features compared to other Lemmy clients. I’m surprised it took this long to implement this!
Yep, I think I still have 3-5 other clients installed that I haven’t used in several months. I bounced around more in the wefwef days and a bit in the early Voyager days just to make sure I wasn’t missing something even greater. But this one always felt right and had some settings that I loved.
This beautiful FOSS app that collects no data about me is by far the most used “social media” app on my phone. More than all the others combined, most likely.
Edit to add: Today is the day I’m gonna go find that tip button… and done!
Still, nothing but grateful for the Voyager devs.
I know Christian (the OG Apollo Dev) was not happy about Voyager, but their work has been stellar imo. Loving the work, and keep it up.
Other than sounding a bit annoyed that the UI was identical, did Christian express further unhappiness? Love(d) both apps
Wait so you tag people so you can follow their posts? Or their contents I guess? Seems like this turns it into a pseudo/hybrid twitter/mastodon type of thing but on the client side?
Strange. I never got the appeal of that form of social media. I think I’ve come to feel that I don’t really care who says what, I care about ideas and discussions.
Very cool!! I was just thinking about how this would be nice to have. Thank you devs, and op for sharing!
i don’t see this and the app is updated :'3nvm it’s still experimental for now
Just enabled tags, but I’m not really clear, what are tags?
To tag someone, click their username to go to their user page. Then click the three dots in the top right corner and then select “edit tag.”
Oh okay, like that feature I used to use in RES for reddit to label who the assholes were.
Neat.
I’m also seeing numbers next to some people’s name. It looks like its tracking net “karma” for the user? But its obviously not accurate (you have a [+4] as of writing).
Is that related to tagging?
That number should be how the total of upvotes and downvotes you have personally given that user. Useful for finding who to block when you see a troll comment and realize that nearly every comment you’ve seen from that user has been a waste of your time.
User tagging was what I was waiting for to try Voyager again (I prefer tagging users over blocking them), but per-user vote tracking was the killer feature I wanted an app to have.
I guess this is goodbye, Boost. Time to write a user tag import script!
I feel triggered by this entire sub-chat. My comments are half flippant, half heckle, half earnest and actual, half pedantic, half questioning, and no math (clearly).
Point is, I’m gonna offend people and their judgement will be sticky. What if my first impression is for a dickish reminder about mass nouns or a jab against the GqP? I love this part.
Please tell me there’s a tag that says “80% horseshit but occasionally a mild zinger or honest comment” to put up near my name. We all can’t be consistently awesome like FlyingSquid !
YEAH?! WELL YOU CAN KISS MY-
Oh, sorry. Thanks!
Tagged. ;)
Ooooo, now thats neat. Yeah, def gonna flip that one back on.
Really appreciate the info.
Yep! But if you’d like to disable it just go to Settings > User Tags > and toggle off “Track Votes”
Fixed user bans with expiry. Can I get an explanation of what this means?
I’m hoping it means that issuing temp bans will actually ban and show in the mod logs. Prior to- only perma-bans seemed to take.
Yes, temporary bans should be fixed.
Thanks for the excellent work!
