(lemmy.ml)
Lemmings
with the official client being called Jerboa I think we all agreed that the small rodent analogy was intended from the start
This is the way

I mean it's obvious Lemmings
I don't think we even have a choice.
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.

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

I saw someone use "Lemmurs" the other day and I'm sticking with that pending a better idea.

I loke lemmings, I think it's a good reminder about how the dangers of letting any platform influence you too much.
Lemurs. Hence the Jerboa app icon
I tried transforming the word Lemmy in the same way as demonyms for countries ending in Y just to see how it'd shake out.
Anything calling to anyone? 😅
Germany -> Germans -> Lemmans
Para/Uruguay -> Para/Uruguayans -> Lemmyans
Muscovy -> Muscovites -> Lemmites
Hungary -> Hungarians -> Lemmians
Norway -> Norwegians -> Lemmegians?
Turkey -> Turks? -> Lemms?
Lemmites is the best one
Lemmites and Lemmegians are best
I like Lemms.

Hear me out: *points to username*
Thank you, thank you. I'll be beetlejuicing here all week. *bows to the audience*
I agree with everyone here on this, Lemmings is appropriate. Especially since most of the community likes it, I think choosing something that the community vibes with is important.

Lemmings
I saw someone suggest lemons lol
Why is lemmings deregatory, it kinda fits imo
Some old (wrong) thing about lemmings running off a cliff.
Turns out the nature photographers drove the lemmings off a cliff.
The Lemon Party. 😉

Us few subscribers to c/Australia will unquestionably be known as 'Lemingtons' from here on out.
Lemmings 100%
Not a fan of lemmings, since everything we know about them in popular culture is incorrect - they don't commit mass suicide - and is suicide really the image we want for ourselves? @Lemminary has the right idea.
I didn't think that about lemmings
It's a myth popularized by Walt Disney in a documentary where they made the claim and dumped a bunch of lemmings off a cliff into the sea to prove they did just that.

I think the hivemind has already spoken, but damn, I wish it was Lemons.
lemmites like how the users of luddy were called luddites
If not lemmings, lemmons
As Lemmings was one of my favourite games growing up, that's also gets my vote.
Lemurians, it is unique and isn't animal related.
Kilmisters
Came here to say exactly that
Lemminkäinen?
Winks
Asking the important questions! I won't deny this has already crossed my mind. I do think lemmings sounds like the best option.
Don’t know why but I actually like “Lemons”
