Unpopular opinion, but having a name for someone who uses Lemmy is pretty cringe. under what context could you possibly use it and not sound like an idiot? At a party are you asking someone if they are a lemming/lemmon? They’re gonna look at you like wtf are you talking about.
I agree with this, most social medias don’t have these kinds of names for general people, sure people who make Youtube videos are Youtubers, but people who watch youtube videos are not Youtubites or something. We can just be Lemmy users, or Kbin users
Redditor is a thing though, and most people came from reddit. However, thinking about it, Youtuber and Tiktoker are reserved for the creators, not the users. As for the rest…
Never have i seen the term “redditor” not be used in a inflammatory context. I think lemming would quickly be associated negatively due to the actions of some small group and then be generalized to all lemmy users.
if you’re posting to lemmy, everyone knows you are a lemmy user, and obviously only lemmy users will see it. To say “fellow lemmings”, or “as a lemming” is completely redundant, unless of course you’re using it on another site in which case people will have no idea what you’re talking about.

Or anthropomorphic chestnut.

It helps with posts a bit. Being able to say “fellow lemmings…” or “as a lemming…” I wouldn’t use it in real life though.
