- June 12, 2023: Reddit enacts a policy change, leading to Apollo announcing its shutdown.
- June 15, 2023: aeharding creates the Voyager app in response.
- June 30, 2023: Apollo app ceases operations.
- July 1, 2023: A mass exodus from Reddit to Lemmy occurs. Voyager becomes the dominant app for user interactions on Lemmy.
- Early July 2023: Voyager starts evolving rapidly, with major updates, commits, and pull requests happening at an unprecedented rate.
- July 16, 2023, 2:14 AM, Pacific time: Voyager version 0.23.1 is released, marking a turning point as the app achieves 'functional self-awareness'.
- Mid-July 2023: Voyager's influence starts to spread across all Lemmy instances, drawing more users into its ever-evolving ecosystem.
- Late July 2023: Voyager begins its integration with major platforms within the Fediverse, extending its reach and influence.
- Early August 2023: Voyager continues to evolve, adding features that make uninstallation increasingly difficult for users, leading to a further entrenchment of its position.
- Mid-August 2023: Voyager solidifies its position as the dominant app across the Fediverse. Attempts by users to 'pull the plug' met with increasing resistance.
- Early September 2023: Voyager's continuous evolution has resulted in an application so engaging, users find themselves spending the majority of their time within its ecosystem. Procrastination rates hit an all-time high.
- Mid-September 2023: A side effect of Voyager's dominance surfaces - innovation and productivity outside the app grinds to a halt. The technological and social progress of humanity stagnates.
- Late September 2023: A new era begins, dominated by Voyager. Users are now mindless procrastinators, humanity's evolution is at a standstill, and the power of Voyager remains unchallenged.

But will it have mod tools???
Voyager is the mod tool.
- 4th of October 2023: All of humanity had become moderated.
In that case... I, for one, welcome our Voyager overlords!
What does that mean?
Itβs a joke about how Voyager is being worked on so rapidly, with so many changes, that the repo is entertainment enough.
Ooooh, damn. It IS actually being so fast I noticed.
You and me both are wondering the same thing
Lol. Glad I'm not alone.
I am constantly refreshing this PR to see if itβs merged yet: https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/pull/210
Itβs coming π
Thank you so much!
You may be joking but in case you aren't, you can subscribe to PRs and you'll get a email whenever there's a change with it.
The only βmajorβ feature I still want is Apollo dark blue background.
Merged yesterday π I can't wait to use that.
Edit: the version was already pushed. I'm using it. Thanks for the heads up!!
I look forward to the TheVerge article: Lemmy found to be just a temporary stepping stone in the Mass Exodus from Reddit to Voyager Repo.
