    Boo to that. Lots of people complained about the name “wefwef” being stupid, but I liked it because it was stupid!

      V’ger seems like a direct nod to Star Trek 1.

      I mean, the fact that the Fediverse is not called The Federation is a missed opportunity.

        There is absolutely nothing stopping us from calling it the Federation.

        Or from assembling a group of federated instances of various fediverse apps called The United Federation of Instances.

      Nah, it’s called Voyager as a nod to Apollo, the most popular Reddit app that had to shutdown because of the api changes and the UI inspiration for wefwef/voyager. Been following wefwef/voyager since the beginning so I figured I’d chime in!

    It’s an excellent app, not really needed another reason to use it, but this sure is one :)
