Awww pic has me sold
I don't know about that. Calling someone a lemming is usually a bad thing.
I identify myself as a lemming now. Thereβs no way back
Lemmings
Even without looking at the comments, Lemmings came to my mind. It is such a great name. β₯οΈ
I concur.
Excellent π
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.

The only answer
When life gives you lemmingsβ¦

I vote we call ourselves Lemmiwinks.

Lemurs
Lemmings
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.
Lemmings.
I vote we call ourselves Lemmiwinks.
Leemitors.

Lemmings?
Lemsters?
Lemons;)
I usually like to use a person's name.
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.
Wrong answers only? If so, Lemurs? π€ͺ
Lemlings or lemmlings
I always just say "I'm on Lemmy/I'm a Lemmy user". People who use Google also aren't a "Googler" or something π« .
I guess I'm no fun at parties...
I like lemmur
Weβve pretty much settled on Lemmings
I wanna say lemurs
Reddit Refugees?
Lemmingers?
Lemmberghini
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.
