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
Given the existence of kbin and potentially others, we shouldn't be named something specific to lemmy.
We are obviously all feds
“The feds” don’t have the best connotation…
Also in practice the sentences come out a bit unclear to me. “The fed that posted this clearly knew their stuff.” “Some feds just like to stir things up.”
Edit: that said, I think that’s a really good point about the need for a platform neutral term.
Lemons
haha
Riffing off of another comment, I think it’s 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
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.
Lemmydoers
Lemmings of course.
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.
