Lemmy, what do you call users of Lemmy?
(lemmy.ml)
Lemmons
Lemmings
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
Lemmites and Lemmegians are best
We could go with federators as we are now part of the fediverse, then we can also include mastodonians
WEVE been the Feds all along??
that makes us sound like a fallout faction, but specifically one from the first two games
If not lemmings, lemmons
I vote for lemmons, because the Walt Disney-inspired insults could get very tiresome.
Lemmons is pretty good
I mean it's obvious Lemmings
I don't think we even have a choice.
How very (apocryphally) Lemming!
Pretty sure those lemmings not having a choice wasn't apocryphal...

I think the hivemind has already spoken, but damn, I wish it was Lemons.
Lemminkäinen?
Lemurs. Hence the Jerboa app icon
I think the Jerboa icon is a Jerboa
I'm all for Lemmings
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.
I didn't think that about lemmings
It's a myth popularized by Walt Disney in a documentary where they made the claim and dumped a bunch of lemmings off a cliff into the sea to prove they did just that.
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.
