Should we change app names?

Jump

  • Seems like Voyager is a hit...

    ... but, I do offer another series of suggestions:

    • Hubertos, the patron saint of hunters. In addition to linkages to a cure for rabies, he is the patron of hunters, which has fit with the lemmings and critters that we share online.
    • Muroidea is the name for the superfamily of rodents, which you can read more about here.
    • Artemis is another series of manned space flights from NASA.
    • Ulysses is another example. Add in it being a name of a mythological explorer, and it adds another layer.
    • Mushak: Ganesh, from the Hindu pantheon, rides a mouse. This mouse's name is Mushak according to some sects. As a divine mount, there's some fun pieces of lore and how this app is how Lemmy users can ride into knowledge of the world around them.
    • Ratatoskr is a Norse rodent, who carries messages on the world tree in that mythology. As this app shares messages and connects people, it's a fun way to share the core mission of Lemmy.

    Those are some ideas! Hopefully some of this is helpful!

  • Also, today I learned that I can't upload video to Lemmy? Alas, something for the wishlist file, I suppose.

    • Petition launched to prevent Calgary from removing 3rd Avenue cycle track

  • The neighbourhood association I volunteer with wrote a letter about this.

    Bad move by city hall. Do better, squad!

    • How are lemmy and other fediverse platforms profitable?

    So, that's how it's funded.
