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 !voyagerapp@lemmy.world!

Out of curiosity, why was it ever wefwef? And what's now motivating this change?

It always reminded me of the random six-letter brands on Amazon.

Like I would see WEFWEF emblazoned on the side of a cheap USB dock or kitchen gadget

Don't be sad. Here's a hug!

Beep boop I'm a human mimicking a bot.

[-] Xylinna@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It did make me laugh, thanks for that!

[-] aeharding@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Good human!

[-] jaackf@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

They had us in the first half, i'm not gonna lie...!

Thanks for your hard work on this, great app!

[-] Distributed@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago

Lol @ 196 being the block community screenshot. Was one of the first communities I blocked.

[-] wayoflife@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Hey may I ask why? I only see the community posting some funny memes and sometimes things i don't understand lol.

[-] Badoker@lemmy.nz 11 points 1 year ago

I haven't blocked them, but so many posts get made there that if you subscribe to it something like 60% of your feed will just be from 196.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

I didn't block but I unsubscrbed because it was like 75% of my home feed and I browse "all" too so I'll still see them there.

Thanks for all the quick updates!

[-] Allan8795@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Good work team

[-] Dynixx@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Nooooo, I loved wefwef (the name). Can't wait to boast to random kids in the future how I still have wefwef installed. Just hope my phone lives that long...

i use the app but i will never uninstall wefwef(/voyager)web app

[-] mykl@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Oh man, do you ever sleep? Congrats on another great-looking release!

[-] 404CameranotFound@lemmy.fmhy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Any plans for an AppStore / google play store release or are you keeping it open with just a web app?

[-] jose@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Honest question what would be the benefit? Slower updates is the biggest reason I can think against the idea.

[-] jarvis2323@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

So awesome! Goodbye rule 196!

[-] vzq@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Really? For me it was a great discovery. I had no idea I needed that much queer shitposting in my life, but somehow it turns out I do!

May I ask if there will be a way to disable de NSFW blur?

[-] Totendax@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

Good work! Keep it up

[-] shotgun_crab@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The new name is better probably. I think I won't reinstall it just to keep the name for a while (:

[-] DSAlKota@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Damn if you scared the shit outta me

Trying to reply to any comment in this post via wefwef:

[-] GregorGizeh@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Great release, finally I can curate my feed better. One thing is missing I didn’t realize before though, could you add the option to also filter whole instances?

This isn’t strictly necessary but for example the lemy.nl community is extremely active to the point I see half a dozen posts from them in direct succession on the all feed and that’s good for them, but i don’t speak dutch. I have no use for articles and news discussion in dutch. And since it is a bit tedious filtering every community manually, being able to filter out whole instances would be very useful.

[-] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Does this mean multired- ahem…. I mean multi-communities are on the way?

[-] yuletide@mastodon.social 2 points 1 year ago

@aeharding but the name was so cute!

[-] mlc894@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Huzzah for blocking! Thanks for your hard work!

[-] spitz@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

How do you reinstall? I can't find a setting for that.

[-] aeharding@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You should be able to delete from homescreen and reinstall from vger.app

[-] MadgePickles@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 year ago

Does anyone else have the problem where wefwef goes all black if you go into another app on your phone and you have to close it and reopen? It's very frustrating.
