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.

Lemurs. Hence the Jerboa app icon

I think the Jerboa icon is a Jerboa

There's actually a Lemmy app on called Lemmur. I downloaded it but it doesn't seem to be working at the moment.
