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.

A documentary of yeeting is the only place that would be acceptable.

Lemmings is specifically accepted by Dessalines, for whatever that's worth to people.

Even without looking at the comments, Lemmings came to my mind. It is such a great name. ♥️

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.

Another vote for lemurs. Calling people lemmings has always had a negative connotation (in all of the English-speaking countries I've lived in).

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.

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...

Just saw 2 year older post with same suggestion, I wonder who actually created this "Lemmings" word for lemmy users.
Earthwormjim91@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
It’s just a natural thing given that Lemmings are one of the inspirations for the name in the first place
