Lemmings

[–] krackalot@vlemmy.net 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....

[–] Senseibu@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Definitely Lemmings and for communities, sublemmys

[–] Lewistrick@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] zombiepete@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lemmings, obviously.

[–] xangria@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Obviously, indeed.

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

[–] 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

The fediverse

[–] FarceMultiplier@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

"Motorheads" is kind of tempting.

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

Suggestions though:

Lemmites
Lemmies
Limes
Lemurs

De-spezzed

….but seriously, lemons or lemmings are both cool

Can't decide.

[–] HopeOfTheGunblade@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

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