We could retcon it as named after the koopaling.

As much as I love Motorhead, it's not a great name.

Lemmy needs better marketing. The name is lame an non-descriptive of what it is. The UI, while awesome to the tech savvy is not modern enough to compete with alternatives. For Lemmy to succeed it has to become "cool" and it's not there yet and seems to lack that sort of direction.

I think the political culture is holding it back more than the name. People poke their heads in and see an environment that is far more left than they’re used to so they head back to Reddit. It can be a shock to see all the moe/loli and communist stuff when they aren’t used to it.

Yeah but Lemmy is dead. Also a lost oppurtunity for the metal community to not just go by Kilmister. could flipped it to be Mr. Kill
