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 think the hivemind has already spoken, but damn, I wish it was Lemons.

Lemurians, it is unique and isn't animal related.

Lemlins? 🀣

Lemmites (pronounced Leh-Mites) could be one of the contenders. One can also go about saying, β€œLemmites here have been nothing but kind ….” or something like, β€œA lemmite suggested me this website!”

Lemmings or Lemmysaurs

[–] pathief@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

We are Lemmiwinks, of course!

We could go with federators as we are now part of the fediverse, then we can also include mastodonians

My favorites from this thread are Lemurs, Lemmites and Lemurians, in that order.
