wefwef

First of all, thank you so much for all your work! This is definitely a way better experience than the web client. And thanks for adding community blocking, so now I don't have to go back for that feature.

I like to keep pretty huge categories of communities out of my feed entirely. But, I also want to be aware of what other communities of interest might be out there, especially now while the Lemmy landscape is evolving so quickly. So the strategy of only ever browsing subs and foregoing All entirely doesn't really work.

But, as I've seen other people highlighting in other posts, federation also means that the number of redundant communities across instances is huge. I don't just have to block all the political communities, I have to block them everywhere we're federated with. My block-list is already gigantic and I don't anticipate the need to block communities going away soon.

It'd be a much smoother experience if Block Community was an option directly in the three-dot menu of an individual post, instead of having to leave my feed, go through another menu, and go back every time.

Was curious about how cors worked in general https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNtFSVU-YTI

Now that I got your attention with that clickbait title..

But it's also true. This is the last release of wefwef. Tonight the app will be renamed, and all future releases will be Voyager!

Note: you don't need to do anything if you have the app installed. The app will continue to be named 'wefwef' on your homescreen until you reinstall.

So what's new for 0.17.0?

Block communities and users

It's here! You can now block users and communities! Just go to their page and tap the ellipsis in the header. Additionally, there's a new "Filters & Blocks" section to settings (applied per user)!

There's also an option to hide all NSFW content for your account!

Finally, it's now much easier to message users. Just tap on their profile and "Send Message"!

Favorite communities

Favorite communities for them to be at the top of the community quick switcher and your communities list. So much easier than scrolling to find the communities you frequent most often! Thanks @httpjamesm for this feature that's been a long time coming.

To favorite (or unfavorite), just visit the community and tap the ellipse in the header.

Bugs and other small enhancements!

Thanks to everyone that has helped and contributed! Check out the github release for all the other stuff that was completed. https://github.com/aeharding/wefwef/releases/tag/0.17.0

Thanks, and see you on [email protected]!

The font size on post comments keeps flipping back to the smaller default size and it's pretty annoying. I'm guessing this is a bug.

I think the soon-to-be-Voyager is near the top of my favorite Lemmy List--but I just tried to edit a post: couldn't find that option. Is it somewhere I didn't look? 🤔

Hi there. Thanks for making wefwef (soon to be Voyager!), I am loving it so far and you’ve done so well in such a short time.

I’ve got a feature request that I think would improve usability:

Currently, if I’m browsing all via Hot, and then find an interesting community and visit there and sort by Top (All Time), when I’m ready to go back to all, it keeps that Top (All Time) sort enabled and I lose my place and the post I was looking at. Sometimes I remember to reset it before I go back but not always. Often I end up having to scroll way back to the top to begin again looking at recent Hot posts as the order has changed and it’s kept me scrolled X amount through the post timeline.

I think it would be great if the sort option didn’t persist and instead reverted back to what you had selected when you were at that point originally.

Thank you, Obscura :)

Currently theres no way to scroll on and get past an embedded video (https://lemmy.world/c/publicfreakout is a good example to use) especially if its a vertical video you can just get stuck in the main all feed unless you give some extra momentum on the scroll.

Also maybe a option to disable auto playing video entirely would be nice.

I get this error when trying to reply on kbin on communities hosted on Lemmy.world. I don’t know whether this is a wefwef problem or if it’s just the messenger to a problem with Lemmy world. For the record I do have a language set in my profile

I'm using the wefwef PWA with Firefox for Android.

Is there a way to receive notifications from a Webapp? Currently I have to open the app to see inbox notifications.

Title says it!

I quite love wefwef (ahem Voyager), building on the legacy of Apollo and filling the hole caused by the whole Reddit kerfuffle (obligatory fuck u/spez).

Due to being averse to everything Google, I only use Safari (FF if there is some kind of technical issue where Safari is causing issues). From what I gathered researching on the web, there doesn't seem to be any support for PWA in either of those browsers.

I'm currently running Voyager in a pinned tab, but if anyone has any suggestions to improve usability, I'd love to hear them. Thanks!

I have to force close the app and start a new session to get rid of the now blank link screen.

I'm using an Android (Pixel) phone, and I installed the PWA via Chrome, as it seems to work the best. Is there a way to change the icon easily?

Would it be possible to allow users to select an icon they preferred in settings of the PWA? Rather than settle on one icon, it would be cool to have a selection to choose from.

I sincerely hope this is OK to post here. If not, please accept my apologies and delete this post.

I just wanted to thank the devs of wefwef (soon to be Voyager) for their amazing work. I’m posting this from my own instance of wefwef. Aside from satisfying the nostalgia of Apollo (iOS Reddit client) to the incredibly polished experience (I find it hard to believe that wefwef is a PWA sometimes), I am really impressed.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

As a person with low vision, I think wefwef would benefit from better support for large text.

It's really hard to see where any posts are from with larger text because it just gets cu...

Thanks for all your work!

Best regards!

I would like to change my nsfw settings for my profile but I'm unable to find those settings in wefwef, I have to use another app or web browser to do so.

Am i just missing the correct profile settings location in wefwef?

I don't have any software on my phone to round corners so please excuse the square.

The fediverse is a vast and beautiful place, just like our universe. I think our app icon should go deeper and represent more than just a simple spaceship or a mouse.

I'm confused! Before I uninstalled wefwef all of the browser interface was hidden. But now the address bar and "new tab" button plus other interface elements visible.

I would love to be able to see the user beside the community when viewing my home page / all / local pages. Right now we are only able to see the user who posted when we open the post or go right into the community.
