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.

I tried transforming the word Lemmy in the same way as demonyms for countries ending in Y just to see how it’d shake out.
Anything calling to anyone? 😅
Germany -> Germans -> Lemmans
Para/Uruguay -> Para/Uruguayans -> Lemmyans
Muscovy -> Muscovites -> Lemmites
Hungary -> Hungarians -> Lemmians
Norway -> Norwegians -> Lemmegians?
Turkey -> Turks? -> Lemms?
Lemmites and Lemmegians are best
Lemmites is the best one
Lemmons

I think the hivemind has already spoken, but damn, I wish it was Lemons.
Given the rodent theming, lemmings is appropriate. It’s also slightly self-deprecating, which is a plus when it comes to community monikers.
I think Lemmings is great because it’s not something any PR team would approve of. It feels completely unincorporated.

The suicidal overtone is a huge turnoff for me.
If it makes you feel better, lemmings don’t actually commit suicide like you’re imagining and Disney made it all up. They basically threw lemmings off a cliff to get the footage they wanted.
