Lemmy, what do you call users of Lemmy? (lemmy.ml)

I like lemmings but it might be a bit derogatory. Even with that I still think it's better than 'redditors', which always sounded/looked goofy to me.

Any ideas? What do we call Lemmy users?

My current vote is for lemmings. I think it's cute.

Came here to say exactly that

I also agreed with lemmings on a previous post. Coming from Reddit, self deprecating is the least of my worries 🤣

My favorites from this thread are Lemurs, Lemmites and Lemurians, in that order.

Lemmists?

Lemmites (pronounced Leh-Mites) could be one of the contenders. One can also go about saying, “Lemmites here have been nothing but kind ….” or something like, “A lemmite suggested me this website!”

We are Lemmiwinks, of course!

Lemurians, it is unique and isn't animal related.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one to think this.

We could go with federators as we are now part of the fediverse, then we can also include mastodonians
