Why is it called Lemmy?
Sorry if someone has already asked this. This is my first post on Lemmy. I mean, I guess you could ask the same question about Reddit but I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be Read-It. But what does Lemmy mean? Is it a cute word for a small lemon?

Like Spider-Man villains, all Fediverse services have to be named after animals. Probably.
what animal is Mysterio ?
Rey Mysterio, jr was part of the wrestling stable called the Filthy Animals.
shit, you're good...
Rey Mysterio is more likely named after the Spider-man villain than the reverse. Mysterio the Spider-man villain was created about a decade before the man who became Rey Mysterio was even born.
Ah, but you are overlooking the presence of Rey Mysterio, snr.
What kind of animal is a kbin?
Well in French, carabin is a rifled horseman
That one is a deep dive but it's a nod to Koninklijk Belgisch Instituut voor Natuurwetenschappen, the Royal Belgian Institute for Natural Sciences. They're all about the animals.
