Is that a mouse? Or a lemming?
I just keep seeing this mouse everywhere, but it would make sense if it was a lemming. It's a lemming, right? Where does the name Lemmy come from anyways?

The GitHub about page (below) lists 4 reasons why it’s called Lemmy:

ha! I love that it’s a nod to motorhead. I had no idea, but thas what I thought about when I went to lemmy
With the Lemmy Koopa being named after the Motörhead singer, that makes him 2/4 on the listed reasons.
Also, little known fact: the rodent is also named after the Motörhead singer. Weird but true.
Get all that out of here. My headcanon would always be this:
undefined> The furry rodents
I'll pick that one, as it's the cutest. ;)
Lets gnaw away the Reddit market share, 1 lemming at a time. (or form a lemming train out of there)
Ah so it's a mix of things but also lemmings. They travel in groups and disperse from time to time so it makes for an appropriate mascot.
I figured it was just his name. He looks like a Lemmy to me.
It's a Jerboa.

That thing almost looks AI-generated. Nature sure is cool.
That's the one.
Isn't that specifically for the Jerboa app though? The mouse for Lemmy is 100% a lemming:

Not an animal expert. 🤷♂️ I thought it was the same thing.
I thought it was a lemming, hence my choice of username
Looks like a mouse to me too. Not like a lemming at all. So it must be a mouse called Lemmy.
