Edit: This only applies to Reddit immigrants, me included. The OGs are still Lemmings.
Lemmings has been a popular option thrown out too.
I feel like anything other than lemmings is trying too hard
I thought this was already decided, lol
B-but lemmings...
I had never seen a real lemming before, but I never expected something that cute. I don't know if we can live up to that name now....
They get eaten by a bunch of different animals like foxes and owls.
In 10 years only old people will even care what Reddit was. I think it's better to define ourselves entirely within the context of Lemmy, rather than in reference to events at Digg/Reddit/whatever.
I think I would prefer lemmings
I think would prefer Motorheed, which of course, is the plural of Motorhead. You are a Motorhead. You and I are two Motorheed.

Well and you know what they say about those
I was hoping this was 30 Rock. 10/10
I'm not going to complain about people talking about Reddit in the short term, since the implosion of that site was a fairly recent (and ongoing) thing that most of us experienced (I imagine there are one or two Lemmy users that just picked it as their first link aggregator/discussion site, but realistically most of use came from Reddit) so naturally people are going to want to talk about it. I'd rather not make the Reddit exodus part of our central identity.
Lemming is fine. Sure, we spend most of our time just walking from left to right, but any one of use could be the one to build the next staircase, bash through the next wall, dig the next tunnel, etc. that will let the rest progress to the next stage.
And then of course there are the blockers who get blown up when their usefulness has run its course. Not sure how they fit into the metaphor.
That brought back a lot of memories. I remember my mom being addicted to the game for a while. MS-DOS days!
I think Lemmings has stuck so far.
you're already calling us lemmy users, if you want you can shorten it to lusers.
Doesn't make sense for all the people who weren't part of the exodus though.
I mean I am a reddit refugee myself and I don't really like the idea. It feels a little bit like a "Hostile takeover" if we reference more and more reddit stuff. Lemmy has its own culture. And personally I don't want Lemmy to become like reddit. I like it the way it is.
Everywhere Reddit goes, it takes the cringe with it, it seems.
When God gives you lemons, you find a new god.
TBF, people made lemons.
No.
We should be called Lemmy users because that’s what we are
Can we leave the le epic 420 bacon wholesome 100 Keanu posting in the past?
You mean to say that you don't want to have your identity shaped completely by the social media you use?
I don't want our whole identity to just be anti-Reddit. We should be called whatever feels most natural to say, rather than some less-fitting word with an unintuitive meaning we'd have to explain all the time. Yes, we were mostly all brought here by a common ostracization from Reddit, but we've got plenty of other content to provide to this site than just that shared sentiment. Plus, if this site is going to be successful, it'll need to grow a lot more, so it won't have this strong of feelings toward the site pretty soon.
Everything returns to crab anyways. 🦀
I'll be fine with either as long as the reddit exodus is called 'The Lemmoning'.
Beans, beanies, lemmings, lemons, they are all ok. Bit who needs a label. I'm a lemmy user. Sure I came here from reddit but I don't want this to become reddit.

Beanie babies will be how they refer to the initial waves of users on Lemmy in the future
Im a fan of Meisters. After Lemmy Killmeister, the original Lemmy
And then I found out a lemming isn't just an old game but also an animal.
Reddit told me to fall in line, so I became a lemming.
The funny thing about that saying is that lemons aren't a naturally occurring plant species and humans engineered them into existence. So when life doesn't give you lemonade, you make lemons.
