I concur.
Even without looking at the comments, Lemmings came to my mind. It is such a great name. β₯οΈ
Excellent π
Like, obviously lemmings.
I think lemmings is the best one. Lemmings are cute.
Awww pic has me sold
I identify myself as a lemming now. Thereβs no way back
Most of the people I've met on here and asked are going with lemmings. That's fine by me, it's cute enough and it works.

When life gives you lemmingsβ¦
... you yeet them off a cliff in your "documentary"?
I like "Lemmings" personally. Just a big fan of the video game.
Yeah, I saw a older post with same "Lemmings" recommendation.

I usually like to use a person's name.
For Lemmy users specifically, I believe Lemmings has been widely accepted. However, when referring to a user of federated software in general (remember they can potentially communicate with other federated software), we could refer to each other as "Fedizens" of the "Fediverse". I have seen a developer use the term "Fedizen" in one of their code examples, and I like it as a more inclusive name.
Kilmisters ;)
I always just say "I'm on Lemmy/I'm a Lemmy user". People who use Google also aren't a "Googler" or something π« .
I guess I'm no fun at parties...
I like lemmur
Leemitors.
Maybe an unpopular opinion but having a name for a Lemmy user is cringe.
What are you gonna ask someone at a party if they're a lemming? They're gonna look at you like wtf are you talking about.
It has big "the narwhal bacons at midnight" vibes.
I prefer "lemmings" (and use it all the time now)
Just saw 2 year older post with same suggestion, I wonder who actually created this "Lemmings" word for lemmy users.
Lemlings or lemmlings
Lemmingers?
