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.

Asking the important questions! I won't deny this has already crossed my mind. I do think lemmings sounds like the best option.

Not a fan of lemmings, since everything we know about them in popular culture is incorrect - they don't commit mass suicide - and is suicide really the image we want for ourselves? @Lemminary has the right idea.

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

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

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!”

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