I really hope lemmings doesn’t become the norm

[–] alehc@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I vote for lemmurs instead

[–] lettruthout@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Like the animal: lemur?

[–] alehc@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Yep but with two mm to differentiate. Who doesn't want to be associated with such cute creatures?

[–] lettruthout@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Agreed. Maybe lemmitor?

[–] AhimaBjorn@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Lemmyheads?

Why not? Can you explain why you don't like the name?

[–] elonspez@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

because it sounds redditarded

[–] MentallyExhausted@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because lemmings are considered dumb followers

[–] gylotip@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh, where did you hear that?

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

Oh, now I understand. I liked the name because of the show Grizzy and the Lemmings.

Subreddits are already called communities with /c/ prefix

[–] lettruthout@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm leaning towards: sublems or comms
