If we call reddit users redditors, what do we call lemmy users (lemmy.world)

A lot of people say fedditors but that sounds way too derivative of reddit

I saw that someone has also suggested calling communities c/liffs, to go along with the Lemming theme. I thought it fit.

I like calling communities "slice" better, because even without the context, the people can guess what it may be. The context is a range of sources quoting:

A group of lemmings is known as a ‘slice' of lemmings.

It would also go with the idea to call us "Lemons", kind of like "slices" of lemon pie!
