I fully embrace the lemmings thing lol. Definitely an afterthought, but someone remarked about how redditors always think they're especially unique freethinkers, and call everyone else "mindless drones", when they go along 100% with US foreign policy.

We might as well embrace lemmings here as an ironic joke (especially because lemmings don't actually walk off cliffs, that's anti-lemming propaganda).

anti-lemming propaganda

Those damn meerkats, spreading fake news

[–] Mcballs1234@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

We are the fellow Lemmings of the Lemmy cult

I hope lemmings sticks. It's cute. It pokes fun at ourselves. It's great.

[–] lucien@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

My fave. Self-deprecating and fits the name well.

[–] quizno50@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

As a kid of the 90s who grew up playing a wonderful video game of the same name. I fully endorse Lemmings =)

When life gives you lemons, you make Lemmy? 🤔

[–] ruud@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yes and all these replies make a lemontree..

[–] alehc@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I have to go with lemmurs :)

Lemmymap calls it lemmies. I quite like that.

[–] Pk_thunder@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I am also partial to "lemmings"

[–] Barbarian@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Anything fediverse related has my vote. Lemmy is bigger than just Lemmy, after all. Another thread about this had fedittor, fedinauts, fedis, fedizens, threaditor and more. Personally, I'm partial to fedizen.

EDIT: Fedditor is also pretty good. Says where we came from and where we are.

[–] AlbigensianGhoul@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

fedizen and related terms are funny in portuguese as "feder" means "to smell bad" in Brazilian. Can't wait to use it with my colleagues.

[–] communist@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Fedditors has my upvote

[–] Pk_thunder@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah Fedditor is really good like a triple pun, fed up, reddit, and federated

[–] Westwind@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I’d lean into the whole Lemmy thing and call them roadies.

Or we could call each other... Friend.

Comrade.

By name?

What's the need for the special secret handshake? I really think that's one of the silliest things of reddit culture that would be great to just leave as we switch over to here.

Let's not gatekeep but instead meet each other in friendship and non-toxcicity.

If we have to have a special name though, @Pk_thunder@lemmy.ml with Lemmings has my vote.

@BrooklynMan@lemmy.ml also good with fedizen. I actually think that's really even better.

Lemmings

The media will use it to ridicule us.

Fedizen

I like the idea of it. I'll probablyy shorten it to "hey fez" as a way of referring to both a singular person and a group.

[–] interolivary@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

The media will use it to ridicule us.

Oh no!

[–] Monkeyhog@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why in the living fuck should anyone care about "ridicule" what kind of weak-ass cowardly bullshit is this? Fuck the media and fuck you for being so fucking sensitive.

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

They control the narrative to who we are to the outside world. Likening ourselves to mindless Lemmings, does no one any favours. It just takes one incident to kill a movement. Remember the dog-walking fiasco?
