No it's renamed to Voyager, vger is just the url

Ha, a Star Trek reference, I like it.

It's a reference to the Voyager space program,which followed the Apollo space program. Apollo was the name of the reddit app for iOS that was very popular, and had many of the same features

And the URL vger is a reference to this.

That’s weird. I’m currently on Memmy, when I tap your link it stops at V , skipping ‘ger entirely. Though I ended up inside of Memory Alpha, all I got was:

V

Memmy didn't copy the link correctly - the apostrophe is tripping it up. Search "V'ger" on Memory Alpha.

@rbits you are absolutely correct. I edited my post but edits may not propagate to all servers

This is really great, thank you very much!

I like Jerboa, but I have two lemmy accounts, and this will be a great improvement for browsing my second account.

[–] Uniquitous@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jerboa switches back and forth between accounts pretty well, I've found.

I didn't realize for some reason that I could do this ayyy

Oh, you’re totally right. I hadn’t noticed the change.
