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.

I think the hivemind has already spoken, but damn, I wish it was Lemons.

Not a fan of lemmings, since everything we know about them in popular culture is incorrect - they don't commit mass suicide - and is suicide really the image we want for ourselves? @Lemminary has the right idea.

Lemurians, it is unique and isn't animal related.

My favorites from this thread are Lemurs, Lemmites and Lemurians, in that order.

We could go with federators as we are now part of the fediverse, then we can also include mastodonians

The real Feds are the friends we made along the way.

By the way, you are under arrest.

Lemmings or Lemmians

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Lemmites (pronounced Leh-Mites) could be one of the contenders. One can also go about saying, β€œLemmites here have been nothing but kind ….” or something like, β€œA lemmite suggested me this website!”
