It looks like that’s a Voyager instance. Voyager is open source, so Lemmy instances are free to host a Voyager instance as an alternate frontend. The main Voyager instance can support any Lemmy instance, but here it’s only for lemmy.world.
The app developer wanted a new and more serious name for the app and Voyager got the most support on a handful of community posts.
Just for reference, Voyager is the new name for the app that used to be called wefwef. As such, wefwef.app and vger.app are both pointing to the same thing.
They were lying. They said they supported self-determination to throw out the existing laws, and with those laws gone they passed laws that enforced their morals, which was the ultimate end goal.
I think a lot of us have been there before, it’s part of the learning process. Jimmy will find his way.
You’re absolutely correct. It would need to be done manually and I understand people not wanting to put that effort in, I just feel bad about the information being lost.
Indeed. I at least think they should repost the helpful information here to Lemmy so that users still have access to it, I understand driving traffic away from Reddit but we should keep that useful information open to the community.
As much as any other app I’ve seen, but I would still recommend using unique credentials for Lemmy.
I’ll make sure to let you know if I see it anywhere.
All of the apps have you enter your credentials into their page because Lemmy doesn’t support OAuth2. I don’t think it’s fair to criticize Voyager for a problem that is currently inherent to all Lemmy apps.
You’re correct, but by maintaining distinct passwords with a password manager you make sure only the one account is compromised. 2FA also helps, you may have the username and password, but the 2FA code that you were given needs to be used immediately or else it will expire, and an expired 2FA code won’t allow you to successfully breach the account you’re trying to break into to.
That’s fair, but sometimes a malicious actor will attempt to covertly contribute code that introduces a security vulnerability.
Indeed, this is a real weak spot with Lemmy’s security. I honestly think we need to place more emphasis on implementing OAuth2, when I have the time I’ll have to take a look at that again to see if I’m able to.
I mean, even if we went extinct tomorrow our mark on this planet is permanent because of all the damn plastic, much of which will probably fossilize. Even still, the extreme weather and extinction events on the way I don’t think are enough to end us, there will probably be some stragglers that struggle by in the ashes of the old world if nothing else.
I like to have one main account I use for most of my interaction, but I’ve learned recently and the hard way why I should maintain a backup.
Exact same here. The only bright side is when I did it VLemmy was so close to death that the scripts may not have worked on it.
That makes sense. Of course, updating the secret will log everyone out, but that’s a small price to pay to fix an admin breach.
The servers should theoretically have a way to murder the tokens, but I’m not sure how Lemmy has implemented authentication so I don’t know for sure.
The past few hours, it was recent.
Congratulations to Nepal. Though this ruling isn’t perfect, it sets up a road to eventual full marriage equality, which is a really good thing. Hopefully other nations in the region soon follow, I’m happy to see news like this even as other nations backslide into more extreme conservatism.
