I've heard a lot of people want to change app names. Which I'm totally fine with! I've heard a lot of love for the name "Voyager"

So, thoughts? Do you prefer renaming? Do you like the name "Voyager"? Any other good ideas?

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!

Maybe don’t name your app a literal god that is part of an existing religion with millions of adherents.
