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 loke lemmings, I think it’s a good reminder about how the dangers of letting any platform influence you too much.
lemonades
Lemmonen
Maybe that’s how they call themselves on sopuli.xyz
„and then I decided I was a lemon for a couple of weeks. I kept myself amused all that time jumping in and out of a gin and tonic“
I tried transforming the word Lemmy in the same way as demonyms for countries ending in Y just to see how it’d shake out.
Anything calling to anyone? 😅
Germany -> Germans -> Lemmans
Para/Uruguay -> Para/Uruguayans -> Lemmyans
Muscovy -> Muscovites -> Lemmites
Hungary -> Hungarians -> Lemmians
Norway -> Norwegians -> Lemmegians?
Turkey -> Turks? -> Lemms?
Lemmites is the best one
I’m all for Lemmings
Lemminists
Lemmons
My favorites from this thread are Lemurs, Lemmites and Lemurians, in that order.
I like Lemurs, idk
Lemurians, it is unique and isn’t animal related.
This reminded me of Child of Light!
Lemmists?
Lemurians
I am one of them
Lems
Given the rodent theming, lemmings is appropriate. It’s also slightly self-deprecating, which is a plus when it comes to community monikers.
More poetic themes via Wikipedia “Lemmings also appear in Arthur C. Clarke’s 1953 short story “The Possessed”, where their suicidal urges are attributed to the lingering consciousness of an alien group mind, which had inhabited the species in the prehistoric past.”
The past mascot was an alien
Huh. and i thought it was named after the guy from motorhead
Most of the people migrating from Reddit wouldn’t have much of a problem with self-depreciation.
That’s maybe right haha
