    I was wondering when other admins would start doing this! I’ve had mine up at app.thelemmy.club for a week or two.

      Is there a benefit to using the Voyager hosted on the Lemmy server vs direct from vger.app? Any downsides

        The one hosted closer to you gives (slightly) better performance.

        Correct me if I’m wrong, m.lemmy.world = Finland, vger.app (formerly wefwef.app) = US.

          It’s pretty marginal though (after tonight). Once the app is installed, all requests will go directly to lemmy.world (after tonight) and response times should be exactly the same.

    Im a big Trek fan and don’t hate the name, but I found wefwef much more unique and memorable.

    What is the reason you switched off that name?

      Wefwef is an an web app, like an app, but that runs powered by your phone’s web browser, usually accessible through a URL and you can then install it.

      m.lemmy.world is just a page, hosted by lemmy.world. Typically, it should have just had a mobile view of the usual lemmy frontend. But what this announcement is saying is that Wefwef was made the official mobile frontend for that website, and thus, going to that page will show you the contents through a wefwef view.

      Also replace all places where I wrote wefwefs with voyager, since they rebranded.

      There is no difference, it’s two websites hosting the same software. The idea I think is to use wefwef as the mobile view for lemmy.world, since you can also use it straight from your browser (the beauty of a web app!).

      I assume the idea is to give people an easy and nice looking default mobile experience for lemmy users without users having to go find things like wefwef/voyager themselves.
