I really like this one even if it does come with the implication that we are marching to our doom.
Its extra funny because redditors will definitely have a superiority complex about it. Look at those lemmings, all unthinkingly upvoting each other, unlike me, a profound and insightful redditor.
In my experience the the sentiment tends to flow in the other direction. There are often smug individuals who come to one of reddit's smaller competitors and proclaim their personal superiority for that choice. Most the problems that reddit has come from its sheer size and lemmy will likely have its own set of problems if it ever reaches that size.
I've always thought it should be this, it just kinda makes sense.
Lemmings
This post is 2 years old, but I just wanted to point out how funny it is to call lemmy users lemmings.
It was the same basic self-deprecating joke with reddit, just more explicit with the name on lemmy.
This is the only answer
I've always been fond of Lemmynauts
lemm-o-nauts
Lemmings.
Nerds
Lemons?
lemonters
that one was good
Lemmurs or Lemmers? Just not "lee-murs". π
Ach, I should've said lemmys or lemmies.
Given the existence of kbin and potentially others, we shouldn't be named something specific to lemmy.
We are obviously all feds
βThe fedsβ donβt have the best connotationβ¦
Also in practice the sentences come out a bit unclear to me. βThe fed that posted this clearly knew their stuff.β βSome feds just like to stir things up.β
Edit: that said, I think thatβs a really good point about the need for a platform neutral term.
I set for Lemmurs.
I'm fine with "lemmy user".
Lemminists
lemmings are the masses, lemurs are the sophisticrats who must be overthrown
lemminauts
Lemmings
Lemons
haha
Lemmians.
Riffing off of another comment, I think itβs ok to have terms specific to each platform, and then a term for all platforms.
Platform specific:
- Lemming
- Kbiner
- Mastadoner
Overall:
- Fediverser
I mean, for Mastodon it's gotta be "Mastodonians"
Kbingers
Feds (as in "Everyone here is secretly a cop") or Fedizens
Mastodonians, Kbingers, and Fedizens are all superb. Iβm not a fan of βfedsβ because it has another pretty common usage. I feel like whatever term is chosen should unambiguously evoke the fediverse.
The "fed" nickname was a bit facetious for exactly that reason. I just think it'd be funny for everyone to start calling eachother narcs. The internet is already full of that kind of fedjacketing, so why not embrace it?
Depends a little on what instance you're from. For example people from the one I'm on are sh.itheads. Besides that I've heard lemmings for lemmy and fedizens for the greater fediverse a lot. I've also heard karabiner for kbin users.
