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.
