When life gives you lemmings…

hakase@lemmy.ml · 8 pts · 3y (2 replies)

... you yeet them off a cliff in your "documentary"?

jaackf@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y

Jumping off the Reddit cliff

FediFuckerFantastico@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

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

Guy_Fieris_Hair@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

Well, where are the lemming stealing whores?

Lemming@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 3y

I approve this name

AlmightySnoo@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y

I identify as a lemming as well

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

Let's go!

Yes, I approve.

Lemmings

Landi@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y

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

l3mming@lemmy.fmhy.ml · 4 pts · 3y

I concur.

thawed_caveman@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

Like, obviously lemmings.

NausetJF@vlemmy.net · 2 pts · 3y

Excellent 😂

downtide@sh.itjust.works · 35 pts · 3y (2 replies)

I think lemmings is the best one. Lemmings are cute.

fubo@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

Arctic guinea-pig!

FancyGUI@lemmy.fancywhale.ca · 1 pts · 3y

I identify myself as a lemming now. There’s no way back

Mane25@feddit.uk · 25 pts · 3y

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.

hoodlem@hoodlem.me · 24 pts · 3y (1 reply)

I like "Lemmings" personally. Just a big fan of the video game.

Drift@mander.xyz · 3 pts · 3y

Yeah, I saw a older post with same "Lemmings" recommendation.

Lemurs

baronvonj@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y

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

We’ve pretty much settled on Lemmings

poorsocialskills@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 3y

Reddit Refugees?

andyMFK@reddthat.com · 4 pts · 3y (1 reply)

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.

lewegee@feddit.nl · 1 pts · 3y

This. The circlejerkers haven't moved over yet. Let's keep it that way.

slimsalm@programming.dev · 3 pts · 3y

Lemons;)

CeruleanRuin@lemmy.one · 3 pts · 3y

I usually like to use a person's name.

matt@lemmy.piperservers.net · 3 pts · 3y

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.

BobZilla@beehaw.org · 2 pts · 3y

Wrong answers only? If so, Lemurs? 🤪

There is no proof that lemmings jump off cliffs together, really we are all just trying to survive.

Lemmings

kabukimeow@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

I still say, lemlings

cambionn@feddit.nl · 1 pts · 3y

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...

I prefer "lemmings" (and use it all the time now)

Drift@mander.xyz · 1 pts · 3y (1 reply)

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

Emperor@feddit.uk · 1 pts · 3y

Lemmings?

wr90@vlemmy.net · 1 pts · 3y

Lemlings or lemmlings

marswarrior@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 3y

Gamers. Because we game the system.

Isn't the answer obvious?

Drift@mander.xyz · 0 pts · 3y (3 replies)

Lemmons?

BrainisfineIthink@lemmy.one · 0 pts · 3y (2 replies)

Lemmons is great! We should start a website or something. Maybe something fun like lemonparty.org!

Drift@mander.xyz · 0 pts · 3y (1 reply)

WHAT THE FUCK I just woke up

BrainisfineIthink@lemmy.one · 1 pts · 3y

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!

It's going to be lemmings, but I like lemons better.
