Need new verb for "redditing" (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 year ago by Xylinna@lemmy.world to c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world

Since I and many others have decided to abandon Reddit we need new a verb to replace "redditing". I'm sure there are other terms we need to update such as calling a person a redditor. Anyone have any good alternatives/suggestions?

Try touching grass if you've ever used the word "redditing"

That one is good too. I like Lemmetting but Fedditing might be a bit easier to say.

Plus once other services like k.bin start communicating more freely with Lemmy it can stay relevant.

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

That is a really good point.

[–] Loccy@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's also quite pertinent given the prevalence of feddit.(country code) instances of Lemmy, eg feddit.uk, feddit.de etc.

Lemmetting

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

I like that one! I also saw elsewhere someone suggesting we replace lostredditors with lostlemmings.

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 year ago

I really like the lost lemmings. outstanding.

[–] Confuzzeled@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lemmying and lemming?

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

or 'lementing' if its a sad post

[–] motcho@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I never heard the term redditing

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

As a fellow Australian, should I be called “Lammington”?

[–] withersailor@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Australians tend to shorten. So, just Lem.

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

I think you mean Lemmo!

[–] withersailor@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or lemmie?
Tinny, sunnies, biccies..

I like that Lemmo is just as long as Lemmy, and needlessly confusing, as when shouted, people might think you're saying Limo, unless you're a kiwi.
