I’m a lemmon you’re a lemmon we’re all lemmons.
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.
It has big “the narwhal bacons at midnight” vibes
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…
Facebooker
Whatsapper
Instagrammer
Yeah I’m fine with fediverse user.
Or anthropomorphic chestnut.
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.
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.
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.
But then what does /c/ mean?
If we’re lemmings, then these are /c/liffs
/c/itrusses, duh
That’s a myth. Well. The suicide part. It was started because the normal lemming run wasn’t “dramatic” enough, and in any case, Lemmings don’t really run on cue, so Disney caught a bunch of lemmings and threw them over the cliff using a turntable for a white Wilderness (Like you know those spinning fertilizer or salt spreaders? It was like that. But with lemmings.)
Normally, lemmings make short hops to get down safely.
(Though for the record that was a really fun video game.)
Lemmon, it’s Wednesday.
because a meetup would be a lemmon party.
If you don’t know what lemon party is, don’t google it.
Imo, Lemmons make about as much sense as callling Kbin users Kbabs.
You say that as if it’s a bad thing. Kbab is a fantastic name!
I like fediots.
We call ourselves lemmings? That’s new information to me, though I guess it would make sense. Lemons is better though.
I’m sure it’s supposed to be lemurs, but really it’s lemmongs.
No wait… lemmites. Sorry.
I would say since there isn’t a singular instance we can see these posts from, instead of being Lemmings/Kbinners/whatever, we call ourselves “Federales” due to the federated nature of the servers.
Some grey federales say, they could a had him any day
They only let him slip away out of kindness I suppose
yoo van zandt, nice
But yeah agree, federales is already a word and an ill-fitting one.
When I have to pick between a cute furry rodent or a sour fruit… I know what I’d pick.
When life throws you a lemon, you hurl it back as fast as you can and cuddle a lemming.
Somebody suggested Lemmur on another post. I thought that was a good one to go with
Motorheads
Lemmyng? Lemmyn? Hmm, lemmyn sound like a female separatist Lemmy users, I guess.
Can we do lemmish?
