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.

I tried transforming the word Lemmy in the same way as demonyms for countries ending in Y just to see how it'd shake out.

Anything calling to anyone? ๐Ÿ˜…

Germany -> Germans -> Lemmans

Para/Uruguay -> Para/Uruguayans -> Lemmyans

Muscovy -> Muscovites -> Lemmites

Hungary -> Hungarians -> Lemmians

Norway -> Norwegians -> Lemmegians?

Turkey -> Turks? -> Lemms?

Lemmites and Lemmegians are best
