I like lemmings but it might be a bit derogatory. Even with that I still think it's better than 'redditors', which always sounded/looked goofy to me.

Any ideas? What do we call Lemmy users?

My current vote is for lemmings. I think it's cute.

+1 for lemming. It just feels really appropriate, and who doesn't like lemmings? They're adorable!

yeah, they are kinda cute. i think they are a bit overlooked as far as animals go. So why not? Maybe there could be a Lemmy icon :)
