Lemmings

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

We might as well embrace this name. If lemmy does become a reasonable competitor to any social media, the CEO's will be pushing to call us that anyway....

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Definitely Lemmings and for communities, sublemmys

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

And if you're scrolling through Lemmy, is it called lemming? Maybe I like fedisurfing better.

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lemmings, obviously.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Obviously, indeed.

God, do you have a Loyal Scribe such as Jonathan?

[โ€“] god 1 points 2 years ago

No but my mate Paul likes writing ticks on a notebook any time I say a swear word. It's a big notebook.

I call them what they are: based

Ich bin ein Kbiner.

Mmmm... Jelly donut.

Not "ein Berliner!"

Fedi's. Fedys. Freddy. Etc

"Motorheads" is kind of tempting.

However, inevitably people will use "lemmings" no matter what becomes self-chosen.

Suggestions though:

  • Lemmites
  • Lemmies
  • Limes
  • Lemurs

โ€ฆ.but seriously, lemons or lemmings are both cool

  • Lems
  • Lemonators

Can't decide.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Definitely Lems. That's why when you go into the comments it's all Lemmy.
