Lemmy, what do you call users of Lemmy? (lemmy.ml)

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.

I tried transforming the word Lemmy in the same way as demonyms for countries ending in Y just to see how it'd shake out.

Anything calling to anyone? 😅

Germany -> Germans -> Lemmans Para/Uruguay -> Para/Uruguayans -> Lemmyans Muscovy -> Muscovites -> Lemmites Hungary -> Hungarians -> Lemmians Norway -> Norwegians -> Lemmegians? Turkey -> Turks? -> Lemms?

Lemmites is the best one

Lemmites and Lemmegians are best

I like Lemms.

haha that's a nice idea! Out of those, I'd say "lemmians" and "lemms" are the best.
