For Lemmy users specifically, I believe Lemmings has been widely accepted. However, when referring to a user of federated software in general (remember they can potentially communicate with other federated software), we could refer to each other as "Fedizens" of the "Fediverse". I have seen a developer use the term "Fedizen" in one of their code examples, and I like it as a more inclusive name.
You know it's been about a decade before I have had a solid excuse to get someone with that. It's one of the first great pranks I stumbled across on reddit. Seems fitting.
Lemmings
The only answer
When life gives you lemmings…
... you yeet them off a cliff in your "documentary"?
Jumping off the Reddit cliff
A documentary of yeeting is the only place that would be acceptable.
Well, where are the lemming stealing whores?
Lemmists...
I approve this name
I identify as a lemming as well
Lemmings is specifically accepted by Dessalines, for whatever that's worth to people.
New lemmings, learning about the fediverse
Let's go!
Yes, I approve.
Lemmings
Even without looking at the comments, Lemmings came to my mind. It is such a great name. ♥️
I concur.
Like, obviously lemmings.
Excellent 😂
I think lemmings is the best one. Lemmings are cute.
Arctic guinea-pig!
I identify myself as a lemming now. There’s no way back
Most of the people I've met on here and asked are going with lemmings. That's fine by me, it's cute enough and it works.
I like "Lemmings" personally. Just a big fan of the video game.
Yeah, I saw a older post with same "Lemmings" recommendation.

I volunteer you to be the first to be made into the lemonade!

Yes we are - for building this awesome thing.
Lemurs

Lemmy users
Another vote for lemurs. Calling people lemmings has always had a negative connotation (in all of the English-speaking countries I've lived in).
Lemmy users
We’ve pretty much settled on Lemmings
Maybe an unpopular opinion but having a name for a Lemmy user is cringe.
What are you gonna ask someone at a party if they're a lemming? They're gonna look at you like wtf are you talking about.
It has big "the narwhal bacons at midnight" vibes.
This. The circlejerkers haven't moved over yet. Let's keep it that way.
Reddit Refugees?
I vote we call ourselves Lemmiwinks.
I usually like to use a person's name.

Lemons;)
Lemmings
Wrong answers only? If so, Lemurs? 🤪
Lemmings.
Lemmings?
Lemmings
I always just say "I'm on Lemmy/I'm a Lemmy user". People who use Google also aren't a "Googler" or something 🫠.
I guess I'm no fun at parties...
Leemitors.
I prefer "lemmings" (and use it all the time now)
Just saw 2 year older post with same suggestion, I wonder who actually created this "Lemmings" word for lemmy users.
It’s just a natural thing given that Lemmings are one of the inspirations for the name in the first place
Lemlings or lemmlings
I still say, lemlings
There is no proof that lemmings jump off cliffs together, really we are all just trying to survive.
Some options here: https://lemmy.world/post/547259
Lemmingers?
Lemmberghini
Lemmyins.
Lemmitors? 😂👌
Gamers. Because we game the system.
Isn't the answer obvious?
Lemmons?
Lemmons is great! We should start a website or something. Maybe something fun like lemonparty.org!
WHAT THE FUCK I just woke up
You know it's been about a decade before I have had a solid excuse to get someone with that. It's one of the first great pranks I stumbled across on reddit. Seems fitting.
Good morning!
I like lemmur
It's going to be lemmings, but I like lemons better.
I vote we call ourselves Lemmiwinks.
