Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

We call ourselves lemmings? That's new information to me, though I guess it would make sense. Lemons is better though.
I'm sure it's supposed to be lemurs, but really it's lemmongs.
No wait... lemmites. Sorry.
I like fediots.
But then what does /c/ mean?
If we're lemmings, then these are /c/liffs
/c/itrusses, duh
... okay that's pretty good
I'll be a lemming and run off /c/liffs, but you lemmons can post on /c/itrusses if you want lol
That’s a myth. Well. The suicide part. It was started because the normal lemming run wasn’t “dramatic” enough, and in any case, Lemmings don’t really run on cue, so Disney caught a bunch of lemmings and threw them over the cliff using a turntable for a white Wilderness (Like you know those spinning fertilizer or salt spreaders? It was like that. But with lemmings.)
Normally, lemmings make short hops to get down safely.
(Though for the record that was a really fun video game.)
because a meetup would be a lemmon party.
When I have to pick between a cute furry rodent or a sour fruit... I know what I'd pick.
When life throws you a lemon, you hurl it back as fast as you can and cuddle a lemming.
I would say since there isn’t a singular instance we can see these posts from, instead of being Lemmings/Kbinners/whatever, we call ourselves “Federales” due to the federated nature of the servers.
Some grey federales say, they could a had him any day
They only let him slip away out of kindness I suppose
yoo van zandt, nice
But yeah agree, federales is already a word and an ill-fitting one.
Imo, Lemmons make about as much sense as callling Kbin users Kbabs.
You say that as if it's a bad thing. Kbab is a fantastic name!
Just don't ask me to join the lemon party. Not falling for that one again
I agree, lemons/lemmons is superb
Lemmy’s actual mascot is a Lemming so far as I know.
I like the self-aware jab. It amuses me.
I have yet to call myself a lemming as a lemmy user, but I have no objection. It's kind of satirical and amusing because in the USA when you call someone a lemming, it means they're part of the normie crowd, i.e. going to the public pool with all the lemmings or going to the lake on labor day with all the lemmings. We're doing the opposite here. We are definitely not the lemmings, they're on corporate social media.
Motorheads
You're clearly operating in some kind of made up world. Lemmings is amazing.
since we are more than lemmy users lets just call ourselfs the feds
Because lemmings are cute. Lemons are just something you squeeze the juice out of to make lemonade or just lemon water to clean your liver.
I knew a lawyer-lady who was, technically, a “Miss Lemmon”.
She really hated my shitty Hercule Perot accent.
Can’t really blame her on that. Fortunately I only cracked the joke once.
Good god, Lemmon.
Mind if i google myself in your office?
Of course, go ahead!
Lemming (verb): the act of doing lemmy Lemm-on (noun): having erected lemmy. So only instance owners can be called lemmons. The correct term for the rest of us is: Lemmer (noun): someone who does lemmy
Why not John Lennon's instead?
Unpopular opinion, but having a name for someone who uses Lemmy is pretty cringe. under what context could you possibly use it and not sound like an idiot? At a party are you asking someone if they are a lemming/lemmon? They're gonna look at you like wtf are you talking about.
It has big "the narwhal bacons at midnight" vibes
It helps with posts a bit. Being able to say "fellow lemmings..." or "as a lemming..." I wouldn't use it in real life though.
I agree with this, most social medias don't have these kinds of names for general people, sure people who make Youtube videos are Youtubers, but people who watch youtube videos are not Youtubites or something. We can just be Lemmy users, or Kbin users
Redditor is a thing though, and most people came from reddit. However, thinking about it, Youtuber and Tiktoker are reserved for the creators, not the users. As for the rest...
Facebooker
Whatsapper
Instagrammer
Yeah I'm fine with fediverse user.
Or anthropomorphic chestnut.
