As we witness the recent mass exodus from Reddit to Lemmy - Whoever named this Platform after Lemmings, must have had a freaking good foresight.

I thought it was because Reddit is like “read it” and Lemmy is like “Lemmy show you this”. Lemmings is a great name though.

I didn't really think much of it myself, but when I joined, for like two weeks, joining instances was a bit harder due to some being closed and others having sporadic downtime. So one very common joke was people saying "Lemmy In! LEMMY IN!"
