If Reddit users are Redditors, are Lemmy users Lemurs?
(lemmy.world)
I thought we where fuckwitz...
Lemming is the correct answer, but I'll also accept Lemmin' mostly because I'd love for there to be some kind of meet-up, like a Lemmin' Party or something.
We’re lemmings.
We solved this like a year ago! Though I had completely forgotten what it actually was.

I’m the little dude who lays 3 stairs and then goes boldly forward.
I am F12!
I‘m the one with that rope. A Lemmnja.
I’m the diggy diggy hole lemming
Lemmings is just the best name for us. It's so anti-corporate, you can rest assured not a single PR team would ever greenlight it in the history of PR teams. We don't need a PR team to approve our nickname, we don't want a PR team to approve our nickname, we don't want to have anything to do with whatever a PR team wants.
In case anyone was unsure, lemmings don't even jump off cliffs, that was literally just Disney staff throwing lemmings off cliffs like a bunch of psychopaths.
Lemme lend my fellow lemmings some lemons.

We are mostly called "lemmings" here.
Reference: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemmings_(video_game)
I think I prefer Lemurians https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemuria
I found this humerus.

accurate. BTW, i got a copy of red hat linux from the library back in '98 or so and tried to install it on my 386 but 8MB of RAM was too little by half. Windows 95 ran on it tho!
so obviously i use arch nowadays, but i've been feeling a little BSD-curious. it seems like linux might get overrun with normies soon and i need a backup plan
Redditors but with extra steps
Lemmings strong together
Guys, come quick!!!! I found the cliff!!!!!
I'm not falling for that one again, Mr. Disney Documentarian.

I am more attached to the idea of the fediverse as a whole than to Lemmy.
I think we should all be called "feds."
Not Feds 🤮

I'm not so sure of your solution, but as an Mbinner....

The fun thing about demonyms this is that there's no grammatical rule for them.
It's just kind of socially agreed upon.
Nobody from Boston would say they're bostonite. They would say a Bostonian.
However, there are many more miltons. In the world around there are miltonians and miltonites.
People from Liverpool are liverpudlians.
People from Venice are venetian.
People from St Kitts are called kitty cats.

It's all about the beans so how about bean... Wait I think that one's already taken.
Get with the times, now it's jeans.
No wait, it's now... Nope, already changed, it's back to beans again, carry on.

Do we need a name? Most social networks don't have a special name for their users.
They do have a special name though - "the product"
I don't want to be grouped together with any of you.

There's never been any consensus that I'm aware of. All the suggestions are cringey.
We're just users.
Lemmings was the consensus pretty much every time this question comes up

Lamingtons. I will hear no debate on this.
I would also like to die on this hill.
Lemmings is dumb. Lamingtons is rad.
