I don't think we even have a choice.
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
Lemmings
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.
Lemmings
with the official client being called Jerboa I think we all agreed that the small rodent analogy was intended from the start
Lemmings 100%
Lemurians, it is unique and isn't animal related.
I like this one too. It evokes a land of legend that will one day emerge from the sea.

Lemmons
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? π
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
haha that's a nice idea! Out of those, I'd say "lemmians" and "lemms" are the best.

I saw someone use "Lemmurs" the other day and I'm sticking with that pending a better idea.
If not lemmings, lemmons
I'm all for Lemmings
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 wouldnβt have much of a problem with self-depreciation.

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.

My favorites from this thread are Lemurs, Lemmites and Lemurians, in that order.
Kilmisters
Came here to say exactly that

I think the hivemind has already spoken, but damn, I wish it was Lemons.

We could go with federators as we are now part of the fediverse, then we can also include mastodonians

Asking the important questions! I won't deny this has already crossed my mind. I do think lemmings sounds like the best option.
I would like to cast a ballot for "lemmons"
MotΓΆrheads?
Lemmings or Lemmysaurs
I also agreed with lemmings on a previous post. Coming from Reddit, self deprecating is the least of my worries π€£
