If we call reddit users redditors, what do we call lemmy users
A lot of people say fedditors but that sounds way too derivative of reddit

Lemmings
This so far seems to be the generally accepted term that's been making it's way around the platform here recently.
It’s the only reasonable answer given the name really
This and it isn't even an option
And at some point, someone looking for a payday^1^ is going to take video of us being herded off a cliff by an asshole^2^ even though we don’t actually do that unless provoked, and it will become a totally wrong impression of us that enters the common knowledge base.
^1^ every online tech journal
^2^ spez
Ironic, since lemmings don't actually jump off cliffs. The people making the documentary (Disney) that's famous from actually threw them over the cliff to make it interesting.
Lemmyngs
This is the correct answer.
DMA Design FTW! (And thanks Psygnosis :-)
I saw that someone has also suggested calling communities c/liffs, to go along with the Lemming theme. I thought it fit.
I like calling communities "slice" better, because even without the context, the people can guess what it may be. The context is a range of sources quoting:
It would also go with the idea to call us "Lemons", kind of like "slices" of lemon pie!
The only correct response.
Could only ever be this!
Yeah this was already decided a while back. It's also why so many communities have AI-created banners with Lemmings doing various weird things.
I concur
Gotta be this
Indeed, this is the way.
It writes itself really
Lemmings, clearly
I don't understand why this isn't the most up voted selection.
Ask and you shall receive
Because Lemmings is.
Lemmings is the obvious choice
Yes, I'm willing to follow all of you off a cliff.
Did you know, the famous shot of lemmings falling of a cliff in the documentary that started the ideas that lemmings will just die following their peers off a cliff was actually a bunch of documentary makers pushing a bunch of lemming off of it to make a cool shot and not actual lemmings behavior ? You probably did actually...
Is this legit? Do you have a source I could read? If this is real that's so effed
You can find it on the wikipedia page of the film, but if you search for it on the internet you find a ton of sources https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Wilderness_(film)
heard about it on jre, didn't even attempt to verify, so no sauce but a trust me bro, this version of the story has little enough consequences and aligns with my beliefs enough that I don't mind believing it even if it isn't true
No offense but that doesn't seem like a good mentality to have...
Yeah, I head heard that... Super depressing. =(
I concur!
I'll stand by this till the end.
Yeah, this is the answer
Oh noooooooo
"pop!"
It was tragic and hilarious at the same time, when they grabbed their heads and said that. Even moreso when it was dozens of them.
Lemmings.
This is the clear answer.
It was a real cliffhanger
Lemmings
How is it not Lemmings?
Lemmings obviously
From Reddit's point of view, we all just migrated off a cliff.
You're just saying that because everyone else is.
God damn it you're right. That's sucks.
It doesn't suck at all... follow me fellow Lemming, you never know what cliffs we may find.
Reddit is like Disney throwing Lemmings of a cliff themselves
Lemmings. That's why I created Lemmings.world!
Fedophiles
This made me chuckle, here’s a lemon award for you 🍋
Lemming on!
Let's have a lemon party!
Just make sure to watch out for those lemon stealing whores.
Oh dear
I better invite my dad!
Here's an another lemon award for you:
🍋
Where do I buy lemon awards? All I’ve got are these useless apples. 🍎
Consider yourself lucky...
🥔
This made me chuckle, here’s a lemon award for you 🍋
Lemming on!
🍋
😁❤️
I'm sexually attracted to feds. They glow so beautifully in the dark
Lemmings, obviously.
Follow the crowd!
lemmings
Lemmings
Lemurs?
Even though I like the term Lemming, this feels a bit punchier.
I second this
I second this
This man REALLY seconds this
Lemmy.world users be like (the server is so overloaded it's causing federation and stability problems)
Quite like this one
I second this
You've over-seconded it!

Lemmies
Lemmings
Lemmings
Lemsbians
Motorheads, of course.
Feds 😏
hello fellow glowie
"Slow down there kiddo" -Feds
Lemmies.
I second this one. Even though it’s fairly close to Lemmings, it does roll of the tongue and is unique enough from any other title.
The singular of that would be Lemmy, which would get confusing quickly. I think Lemmies should be what we call instances instead of what we call users.
You could always shorten the singular to ‘Lemmi’ or something similar to prevent confusion.
Good point though!
Lemmicles.
What about Lemmyists? Like Lyricists, but instead of writing songs we author Internet comments.
First thought for me too!
I like that
Lemmicles.
I was gonna say lemmons but 🤷🏼♀️
IRL meetups can be called lemmon parties
Yaaaas now this gets me
Lemmonites
Sounds like an Ancient Greek city state doesn’t it the samnites the Lemmonites from Lemmonaestra etc etc
Lemmies :D
Just. Cute.
Lemmywinks
Lemmingtons for us Aussie users
Great, now I want lamingtons.
Lemmington Spas for the Brits
Oioioids for the less refined.
Lemurs
I feel like lemmings is already catching on.

I like Lemmings and Lemmons.

Lemmies?
Combustible Lemmons
Please, Cave Johnson, don't burn my house down
Motörheads
Lemmings or Lemmonades
Lemmings sounds absolutely adorable and since the app is defunct it is kind of free for the taking.
Lemmonades sounds like a bad citrus disease.
I prefer to think of myself as having been a Redditeur. Far above the peasantry of the Redditors. /s
Fedditors would be denizens of the larger Fediverse. It would not refer to only Lemmy users.
Fedizens? Fedditor seems to retain some of the "Reddit".
I could get behind Fedizen.
I’ve seen it a fair number of times, mostly on Mastodon. I hope it catches on here, too.
I like the term "Fedinauts" since we interact cross platform like with Kbin users here too.
Lemmurs
I don't think "lemmings" is a very appropriate name, considering the potentially harmful implications of blind misguided movement and lack of individuality.
I think "lemmings" is a very appropriate name because it is funny because of those potentially harmful implications.
Those implications being, don't trust big corporations as they will round you up and dump you over the side of a cliff to sell sad story and profit off your suffering? Yup, I agree, seems appropriate here.
That's Disney Evil!
“New viral cliff-jumping challenge linked back to Lemmy; a place where it’s users call themselves ‘Lemmings’…”
It's absolutely appropriate and approved. Hey guys, we've asked lemmings.
I find myself ok with the Lemming appellation
Um.. so very appropriate? considering what reddit was.
Lemmy users.
Motörheads
I was thinking the same.
Gets my vote!
Oh, HELL YES!!
I hope this gains traction
Lemmons
And if there’s a meetup, it can be called a “lemon Party”… I don’t see anything wrong with that term!
/s
Motorheads
Lemmiwinks
Reddifugees.

What in the hell?
Idk, the only good name that I could think of had already been said by other people just before me...
Lemmurs
It's a long shot, but I like lemurs.
Communists
I'd say "lemmers", but anything that starts with "lemm-" will prolly do

Lemmists
Lemmies
Lemmystas (e.g. baristas)

How about Lemmiwinks?
NSFW - Lemmiwinks
Is this site named after Lemmiwinks? That's something I've been wondering. I'm guessing even if it was they couldn't say it because of copyright infringement.
Lemmisseur
Motorheads
Lemminades
Fedos lol
Lots of german users in the fediverse, so Föds

Lemminators. The first were here when the fediverse was created, but since July 1st redditors are becoming Lemminators too: Judgement Day.
Loomers
Lemmonades
When life gives you lemons... Make lemonades
My vote goes to lemmers.
I had this question about the categories or "sub-reddits." What are we calling those? Sub-lemmys? Sub-lemons? Sub-lemms?
Lemmors
I wouldn't want to identify with something I use in my spare time. I like videogames I'm not a gamer. It is not my job lol. But do whatever you want. I just think it's unnecessary.
I don’t think this is for self identification as much as a way for third parties to refer to a user group.
One Lemmyr, two Lemmyrs.
Kilmisters?
For us kbin folks, I've seen kbeans and kbinauts
Kbinauts is my favorite. I'd also accept kbinner.
Kbeans is definitely the best!
Lemmizens
What about Lemmiwinks?
Limburgers
Lemmentites and Lemmentoids
Lemons
I know "lemmings" is catching on but what if we go for "federalists" because it sounds cool?
Lemmitors, obviously.
Gods, because Lemmy = God.
Or the next logical choice... "Lemmings."

And not one of you said LAME?? I'm ashamed!

The generally accepted name is Lemming, latin name foedoratus lemmius.
I've been assembling a brief taxonomy of common social media users, which is still a work in progress. But if image upload works you can see it here

Just call them people. What do you need a cutesy nickname for?
You were downvoted but you’re right. What’s the cutesy nickname for people who use email? Do these people still say they’re surfing the information superhighway?
