I like lemmings but it might be a bit derogatory. Even with that I still think it’s better than ‘redditors’, which always sounded/looked goofy to me.

Any ideas? What do we call Lemmy users?

My current vote is for lemmings. I think it’s cute.

    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 agree to the extent that, if nicknames develop they should organically do so, and not be forced because “the other guys are doing it.”
