I think lemmings is the best one. Lemmings are cute.

Awww pic has me sold

I identify myself as a lemming now. There’s no way back

Even without looking at the comments, Lemmings came to my mind. It is such a great name. ♥️

Excellent 😂

[-] 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.

When life gives you lemmings…

[-] hakase@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

... you yeet them off a cliff in your "documentary"?

[-] hoodlem@hoodlem.me 10 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Drift@mander.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] CerpinTaxt@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

I vote we call ourselves Lemmiwinks.

I usually like to use a person's name.

Wrong answers only? If so, Lemurs? 🤪

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.

Lemlings or lemmlings

[-] Richardisaguy@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I like lemmur

[-] 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 🫠.

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

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

[-] 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.

Lemmons is great! We should start a website or something. Maybe something fun like lemonparty.org!

WHAT THE FUCK I just woke up

[-] BrainisfineIthink@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

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!

[-] andyMFK@reddthat.com -1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] z2k_@lemmy.nz -1 points 1 year ago

We’ve pretty much settled on Lemmings
