I just started this account last night. I've been a Redditor from February 2013, so how will things be different on Lemmy for Redditors trying to adjust? Also, what are Lemmy users called? Lemmitors? (lemmy.world)

Reddit users are called Redditors. What are Lemmy users called? Lemmitors? Lemmings?

How well are the Lemmy fediverses growing? How many daily unique users do we have on this service? Will we overtake Reddit someday?

What differences should I get used to over here from what I was used to on Reddit? Thanks in advance.

Lemmy is a broad term that covers a large and varied chunk of "the fediverse" but not all of it...

So yeah, "Lemmings" is what people are/were using, but honestly it's outdated already and needs to be something more general already.

Hard to make a name that's not reminiscent of "feds" tho. But a catchall name shouldn't be tied to any instance/software, because it's bigger than any instance/software
