Spoiler alert: he currently doesn’t plan to. I keep reading people wondering about what Christian‘s stance is, so there you go.

Here’s a time stamp to the chapter if you wanna listen to more context, or the entire episode: https://castro.fm/episode/nltyqz#1:35:02

Something along these lines would be fun.

I'm not the greatest designer, but I think you get the idea: a cute rocket with a rainbow trail.

A few other musings:

the rainbow trail reminds me of nyan cat, an animated version in that style might make for a nice loading screen

I looked up "rocket nyan cat" and saw this hamster with a rocket attached: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/nyancat/images/5/58/RocketHamster.gif/revision/latest?cb=20210923233749

It would be cool if someone could do something similar with a lemming.

That reminds me of Buzz holding Woody with a rocket strapped to his back: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/bd893090-c6dc-4d2f-96a5-9ec62637242e

It's a similar feeling, with Voyager (and other apps) picking up Apollo and trying to keep it flying.

The word Voyager makes me think of the Daft Punk piece, there's a bit in the video with an anime style star, this could make for a simpler icon theme: https://youtube.com/watch?v=CqZgd6-xQl8&t=2m29s

I think the name "Rocket" would be a cool name for an Apollo inspired app - simple and effective.

The rocket idea could be anthropomorphised (smiley cyclops) and become a character in an of itself; there was an astronaut with Apollo, there could be a rocket character with Voyager.

I looked up Wallace and Gromit's rocket, because I remember really liking the look, but I don't think it translates: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Kb0ooQKbflM&t=2m38s

Orange and Blue is a popular contrasting colour scheme though.

I like the rainbow focus in the brief and I hope to see some cool creations. I'm not precious about the rocket idea, but I hope it inspires some more creative submissions, I definitely think something other than a slight variation on the lemming motif would set this app apart from the rest.

I'm using Safari on iOS 16.5.1

Guys, I know this won’t happen but a week ago I created this icon with AI while I was sad because we lost Apollo. I wished Christian would make a transition to lemmy but he was completely silent.

Then I found out about wefwef and I'm really glad that I can have nearly the same experience while surfing on lemmy.

Even if I'm using mostly all available Apps for iOS, the only true successor to Apollo is Voyager.

Similar to others I originally made these for Memmy without realizing they decided to move away from a lemming icon.

Here’s a couple alts

actually submitted this to memmy last week. and was told they were going away from the lemming. maybe this community will like it. seriously impressed with wefwef by the way.

I’ve discovered a possible bug in how wefwef is parsing or displaying community statistics. For example, at the time of this writing, c/science at lemmy.ml shows the following stats in their sidebar:

Users / day: 12 Users / week: 54 Users / month: 157 Users/ 6 months: 244 Subscribers: 8.27k Posts: 1.23k Comments: 1.29k

As the screenshot of the sidebar in wefwef shows, only the “users / day” stat is correct. Wefwef shows 80 subscribers rather than 8.27k.

Very impressed with the app but one feature i really miss is the "scroll to top" when tapping on the status bar in iOS. It's something i use all the time and it works across all apps and websites in iOS, just in wefwef it doesn't work.

In Apollo I could tap and hold a posted image and there’d be an option to share the image directly with my contacts. Here I can only share the Lemmy link.

I guess what Apollo was doing was temporarily downloading the image/video and then deleted it after being shared.

Right now I can’t copy an image through wefwef either, I have to open the link through safari to have that functionality.

Title. Am I just missing something? This seems like an essential feature that is missing.

Hi all,

Loving wefwef and am even using it as my desktop Lemmy UI but there is one niggle.

I often want to select and copy text in a comment (usually to search for it) but this doesn't work. Single clicking hides the comment while click and drag engages the upvote/downvote etc options.

Could we get an option to allow text selection (eg. ctrl-click)?

Thanks,

giddy

I spent way too much time drawing these lol

You're welcome to crop & use them on your personal devices, if any strike your fancy

No charge, but I do accept dopamine and compliments

No commercial use, please. I'm happy letting y'all use them if you like em, but they're still my work

Has anyone else noticed their comment score and post score totals getting reset to 0 when their instance updates to 0.18.1? This happened to me today when lemmy.ninja performed their update. Post score and comment score began to climb as more people upvoted my content today, however.

Is it just me?

Edit now working

If faced or pwa is installed no issue but first time visit issue

I’m almost certain it would’ve been implemented by now if it was possible but just to be sure: how’s it with web apps and haptic feedback?

Any plans to add community collections (like multi-reddits)?

I just posted this with Wefwef on iPad. Got a spinning wheel that vanished, now it is still in the to be posted state. But it was actually posted.

Now that Memmy is in the App Store on iOS, I feel like Wefwef is going to be left behind since this is the main place people go to discover apps. I know that Wefwef is a PWA web app but if it could be put in the store that might get more people to use it. Are there any downsides to being in the store?

Hello everyone... First Lemmy post here... Found a bug that doesn't let you go to the top at once by clicking the posts button. Is this a bug or a feature, and if it's a bug, is it reproducible by you guys... if so... will put up an issue on the repo then...

Is this common or unique to me? White text on the light background is fairly illegible.
