We might as well embrace this name. If lemmy does become a reasonable competitor to any social media, the CEO's will be pushing to call us that anyway....

And if you're scrolling through Lemmy, is it called lemming? Maybe I like fedisurfing better.

Definitely Lemmings and for communities, sublemmys

De-spezzed

โ€ฆ.but seriously, lemons or lemmings are both cool

"Motorheads" is kind of tempting.

However, inevitably people will use "lemmings" no matter what becomes self-chosen.

Suggestions though:

  • Lemmites
  • Lemmies
  • Limes
  • Lemurs
