A lot of people say fedditors but that sounds way too derivative of reddit
Lemmings
This so far seems to be the generally accepted term that’s been making it’s way around the platform here recently.
The only correct response.
Indeed, this is the way.
Could only ever be this!
I saw that someone has also suggested calling communities c/liffs, to go along with the Lemming theme. I thought it fit.
I like calling communities “slice” better, because even without the context, the people can guess what it may be. The context is a range of sources quoting:
A group of lemmings is known as a ‘slice’ of lemmings.
It would also go with the idea to call us “Lemons”, kind of like “slices” of lemon pie!
Gotta be this
It writes itself really
It’s the only reasonable answer given the name really
Yeah this was already decided a while back. It’s also why so many communities have AI-created banners with Lemmings doing various weird things.

This is the correct answer.
DMA Design FTW! (And thanks Psygnosis :-)
This and it isn’t even an option
And at some point, someone looking for a payday1 is going to take video of us being herded off a cliff by an asshole2 even though we don’t actually do that unless provoked, and it will become a totally wrong impression of us that enters the common knowledge base.

Ironic, since lemmings don’t actually jump off cliffs. The people making the documentary (Disney) that’s famous from actually threw them over the cliff to make it interesting.
I concur
Lemmyngs
I don’t think “lemmings” is a very appropriate name, considering the potentially harmful implications of blind misguided movement and lack of individuality.
I think “lemmings” is a very appropriate name because it is funny because of those potentially harmful implications.
“New viral cliff-jumping challenge linked back to Lemmy; a place where it’s users call themselves ‘Lemmings’…”
Those implications being, don’t trust big corporations as they will round you up and dump you over the side of a cliff to sell sad story and profit off your suffering? Yup, I agree, seems appropriate here.
It’s absolutely appropriate and approved. Hey guys, we’ve asked lemmings.
Um… so very appropriate? considering what reddit was.
I find myself ok with the Lemming appellation
Lemmies?
It’s a me, Lemmigo!
Lemmies.
Lemmicles.
Lemmicles.
What about Lemmyists? Like Lyricists, but instead of writing songs we author Internet comments.
I second this one. Even though it’s fairly close to Lemmings, it does roll of the tongue and is unique enough from any other title.
The singular of that would be Lemmy, which would get confusing quickly. I think Lemmies should be what we call instances instead of what we call users.
You could always shorten the singular to ‘Lemmi’ or something similar to prevent confusion.
Good point though!
First thought for me too!
I like that

Lemmings or Lemmonades
Lemmings sounds absolutely adorable and since the app is defunct it is kind of free for the taking.
Lemmonades sounds like a bad citrus disease.
