I really hope lemmings doesn’t become the norm

[–] alehc@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I vote for lemmurs instead

[–] lettruthout@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Like the animal: lemur?

[–] Woozy@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I like lemmings.

[–] lettruthout@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Agreed. Maybe lemmitor?

[–] AhimaBjorn@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Lemmyheads?

Why not? Can you explain why you don't like the name?

[–] elonspez@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

because it sounds redditarded

[–] MentallyExhausted@reddthat.com 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Because lemmings are considered dumb followers

[–] gylotip@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh, where did you hear that?

[–] MentallyExhausted@reddthat.com 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

[–] gylotip@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Oh, now I understand. I liked the name because of the show Grizzy and the Lemmings.

Subreddits are already called communities with /c/ prefix

[–] lettruthout@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I'm leaning towards: sublems or comms

[–] Woozy@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I'm not a fan of sumlemmies. Since "communities" is a mouthful, I propose "communes" or just "commies".
