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 think the hivemind has already spoken, but damn, I wish it was Lemons.

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

Lemmings or Lemmysaurs

[–] elk@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

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