I tried transforming the word Lemmy in the same way as demonyms for countries ending in Y just to see how it'd shake out.
Anything calling to anyone? π

We could go with federators as we are now part of the fediverse, then we can also include mastodonians
WEVE been the Feds all along??
I've always been opposed to this kind of branding. Users are users, posts are posts, getting heavy into branding is always a bad sign to me.
I totally get where you're coming from but I think humanity's tribal nature makes us want to identify with something on the platform we're on.. Some type of name that defines all of us.

I think the hivemind has already spoken, but damn, I wish it was Lemons.
Lemurs. Hence the Jerboa app icon
LemminkΓ€inen?
Lemmists?
Donβt know why but I actually like βLemonsβ
Another great option tbh
Given the rodent theming, lemmings is appropriate. It's also slightly self-deprecating, which is a plus when it comes to community monikers.
More poetic themes via Wikipedia βLemmings also appear in Arthur C. Clarke's 1953 short story "The Possessed", where their suicidal urges are attributed to the lingering consciousness of an alien group mind, which had inhabited the species in the prehistoric past.β
The past mascot was an alien
Huh. and i thought it was named after the guy from motorhead
Lemmy is God!
Most of the people migrating from Reddit wouldnβt have much of a problem with self-depreciation.
Lemmings or Lemmians
Lemurians
I am one of them
I agree with everyone here on this, Lemmings is appropriate. Especially since most of the community likes it, I think choosing something that the community vibes with is important.
Lemmywinks?
Lemmings of course. No need to reinvent the wheel.
Yes, if we're lemmings surely we should be running on the wheel.
lemonades
MotΓΆrheads?
Rodents?
Asking the important questions! I won't deny this has already crossed my mind. I do think lemmings sounds like the best option.
As Lemmings was one of my favourite games growing up, that's also gets my vote.
lemurs?
