I think it’s kind of funny, not sure if it was intended that way. Aren’t lemmings known for following each other, even if it is clearly not the right thing to do?

Lemmings jumping off a cliff is a myth set up for a "documentary" by Disney. They literally chased them off the cliff to get the footage.

So it's actually pretty apropos, as most people are going to be confused/ill-informed about what Lemmy is for a while.
