Lemmings strong together
Guys, come quick!!!! I found the cliff!!!!!
I'm not falling for that one again, Mr. Disney Documentarian.
I am more attached to the idea of the fediverse as a whole than to Lemmy.
I think we should all be called "feds."
Not Feds 🤮
Lemming is the correct answer, but I'll also accept Lemmin' mostly because I'd love for there to be some kind of meet-up, like a Lemmin' Party or something.
The fun thing about demonyms this is that there's no grammatical rule for them.
It's just kind of socially agreed upon.
Nobody from Boston would say they're bostonite. They would say a Bostonian.
However, there are many more miltons. In the world around there are miltonians and miltonites.
People from Liverpool are liverpudlians.
People from Venice are venetian.
People from St Kitts are called kitty cats.
Another good one is Glasgow -> Glaswegians. Here's a pretty interesting article about a few odd demonyms:
https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/demonyms-linguistics-nicknames
The demonym “Glaswegian” comes, linguists think, as an analogy of the Irish city of Galway. “Glasgow” and “Galway” are two fairly similar looking words. And Galway has long had its own analogy with another similar-looking word: Norway. Galway’s demonym is “Galwegian,” as an analogy of “Norwegian.” So “Glaswegian” is a sort of a photocopy-of-a-photocopy of Norwegian. Not something anyone could ever guess!
It's all about the beans so how about bean... Wait I think that one's already taken.
I don't want to be grouped together with any of you.
Lemurians.
Lemmywinks?
There's never been any consensus that I'm aware of. All the suggestions are cringey.
We're just users.
Lemmyors
We are all the Ace of Spades.
Lemmies? Lemons? Lemmy Lemons? 🍋
When life gives you lemons......uh.......make linux memes and federate?
Lamingtons. I will hear no debate on this.
Do we need a name? Most social networks don't have a special name for their users.
An interesting comment from when this was asked a year ago.
Funniest one imo is Lemmegians (as in Norwegians). Not a very practical name though.
