What are we calling lemmy users?

Most of the people I've met on here and asked are going with lemmings. That's fine by me, it's cute enough and it works.

I like "Lemmings" personally. Just a big fan of the video game.

Yeah, I saw a older post with same "Lemmings" recommendation.

We’ve pretty much settled on Lemmings

For Lemmy users specifically, I believe Lemmings has been widely accepted. However, when referring to a user of federated software in general (remember they can potentially communicate with other federated software), we could refer to each other as "Fedizens" of the "Fediverse". I have seen a developer use the term "Fedizen" in one of their code examples, and I like it as a more inclusive name.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but having a name for a Lemmy user is cringe.

What are you gonna ask someone at a party if they're a lemming? They're gonna look at you like wtf are you talking about.

It has big "the narwhal bacons at midnight" vibes.

Isn't the answer obvious?

Lemmons?

Lemmons is great! We should start a website or something. Maybe something fun like lemonparty.org!

WHAT THE FUCK I just woke up

You know it's been about a decade before I have had a solid excuse to get someone with that. It's one of the first great pranks I stumbled across on reddit. Seems fitting.

Good morning!

I prefer "lemmings" (and use it all the time now)

Just saw 2 year older post with same suggestion, I wonder who actually created this "Lemmings" word for lemmy users.
