Why is the Lemmy maskot/Logo a rat?
Also what does lemmy mean if it means anything. I don't know wtf reddit means either. Just a silly curiousity.

Ooh so there are multiple reasons beside the lemmings too, cool!
It's not a rat, it's a Lemming.
Reddit is a play on words "I read it -> on reddit"
I think the name Lemmy comes from lemmings, a kind of rodent, aand, that probably answer both your questions right? That's what i think it is
So no connection with Motörhead…
@LazaroFilm @Quills
Yes, it is! #Motörhead too, but not only:
"Why's it called Lemmy?
Lead singer from Motörhead.
The old school video game.
The Koopa from Super Mario.
The furry rodents."

It's literally the first in the list of meaning.

Thanks everyone, my curiosity has been sated. Good day to you all.
I'm pretty sure reddit comes from "read it" btw
