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

[โ€“] Drift@mander.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

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

[โ€“] Mane25@feddit.uk 16 points 1 year ago

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.

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.

Weโ€™ve pretty much settled on Lemmings

This question has been asked and answered already.

You see the banner for this community? Those are lemmings. Lemmy users are Lemmings. Simple as.

Wrong answers only? If so, Lemurs? ๐Ÿคช

I usually like to use a person's name.

Lemlings or lemmlings

[โ€“] cambionn@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

I always just say "I'm on Lemmy/I'm a Lemmy user". People who use Google also aren't a "Googler" or something ๐Ÿซ .

I guess I'm no fun at parties...

[โ€“] Richardisaguy@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

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

[โ€“] Drift@mander.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

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

[โ€“] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 1 year ago

It's going to be lemmings, but I like lemons better.

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!
