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.

Given the rodent theming, lemmings is appropriate. It’s also slightly self-deprecating, which is a plus when it comes to community monikers.
Most of the people migrating from Reddit wouldn’t have much of a problem with self-depreciation.
Lols
That’s maybe right haha
More poetic themes via Wikipedia “Lemmings also appear in Arthur C. Clarke’s 1953 short story “The Possessed”, where their suicidal urges are attributed to the lingering consciousness of an alien group mind, which had inhabited the species in the prehistoric past.”
The past mascot was an alien
