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.

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

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

Came here to say exactly that

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!”

Hear me out: *points to username*

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

We are Lemmiwinks, of course!

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

Lemlins? 🀣

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

Lemmings or Lemmysaurs

[–] craigers@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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