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.

Lemmites (pronounced Leh-Mites) could be one of the contenders. One can also go about saying, β€œLemmites here have been nothing but kind ….” or something like, β€œA lemmite suggested me this website!”

Lemurians, it is unique and isn't animal related.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one to think this.

Lemmings or Lemmysaurs

We could go with federators as we are now part of the fediverse, then we can also include mastodonians

I also agreed with lemmings on a previous post. Coming from Reddit, self deprecating is the least of my worries 🀣

Asking the important questions! I won't deny this has already crossed my mind. I do think lemmings sounds like the best option.
