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.

Given the rodent theming, lemmings is appropriate. It's also slightly self-deprecating, which is a plus when it comes to community monikers.

Most of the people migrating from Reddit wouldn’t have much of a problem with self-depreciation.
