The only answer
When life gives you lemmingsβ¦
... you yeet them off a cliff in your "documentary"?
Jumping off the Reddit cliff
A documentary of yeeting is the only place that would be acceptable.
Well, where are the lemming stealing whores?

I approve this name
I identify as a lemming as well
Lemmings is specifically accepted by Dessalines, for whatever that's worth to people.

Even without looking at the comments, Lemmings came to my mind. It is such a great name. β₯οΈ
I concur.

Excellent π
I think lemmings is the best one. Lemmings are cute.
Arctic guinea-pig!

Most of the people I've met on here and asked are going with lemmings. That's fine by me, it's cute enough and it works.
I like "Lemmings" personally. Just a big fan of the video game.
Yeah, I saw a older post with same "Lemmings" recommendation.

Another vote for lemurs. Calling people lemmings has always had a negative connotation (in all of the English-speaking countries I've lived in).
Maybe an unpopular opinion but having a name for a Lemmy user is cringe.
What are you gonna ask someone at a party if they're a lemming? They're gonna look at you like wtf are you talking about.
It has big "the narwhal bacons at midnight" vibes.

Weβve pretty much settled on Lemmings
I vote we call ourselves Lemmiwinks.

Reddit Refugees?
I usually like to use a person's name.
For Lemmy users specifically, I believe Lemmings has been widely accepted. However, when referring to a user of federated software in general (remember they can potentially communicate with other federated software), we could refer to each other as "Fedizens" of the "Fediverse". I have seen a developer use the term "Fedizen" in one of their code examples, and I like it as a more inclusive name.
Lemons;)
Wrong answers only? If so, Lemurs? π€ͺ
Lemmings.

I still say, lemlings
Lemmings?
I prefer "lemmings" (and use it all the time now)
Just saw 2 year older post with same suggestion, I wonder who actually created this "Lemmings" word for lemmy users.
