This is an opportunity for any users, server admins, or interested third parties to ask anything they'd like to @nutomic@lemmy.ml and I about Lemmy. This includes its development and future, as well as wider issues relevant to the social media landscape today.

Note: This will be the thread tmrw, so you can use this thread to ask and vote on questions beforehand.

Where did the Lemmy name originated from? How long was the development of Lemmy?

[-] nutomic@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago

The name is explained in the docs. We worked in Lemmy fulltime for over three years now (and around one year before that in our free time).
