I fully embrace the lemmings thing lol. Definitely an afterthought, but someone remarked about how redditors always think they're especially unique freethinkers, and call everyone else "mindless drones", when they go along 100% with US foreign policy.

We might as well embrace lemmings here as an ironic joke (especially because lemmings don't actually walk off cliffs, that's anti-lemming propaganda).

Me, personally, would only do that if I were pushed by a Disney producer. (true story)

My fave. Self-deprecating and fits the name well.

As a kid of the 90s who grew up playing a wonderful video game of the same name. I fully endorse Lemmings =)

I hope lemmings sticks. It's cute. It pokes fun at ourselves. It's great.

Anything fediverse related has my vote. Lemmy is bigger than just Lemmy, after all. Another thread about this had fedittor, fedinauts, fedis, fedizens, threaditor and more. Personally, I'm partial to fedizen.

EDIT: Fedditor is also pretty good. Says where we came from and where we are.

Yeah Fedditor is really good like a triple pun, fed up, reddit, and federated

I don't think fedinaut is a particularly good-sounding general term, but I am going to insist to personally called a fedinaut by all three people that will ever have a reason to call me so.

[–] kommanditbolag@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I want to be called a fedinaught then, just to shake things up.

I’d lean into the whole Lemmy thing and call them roadies.

[–] Mir@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Lemmiwinks should be the mascot
