If Reddit users are Redditors, are Lemmy users Lemurs?
(lemmy.world)
We’re lemmings.
We solved this like a year ago! Though I had completely forgotten what it actually was.

Lemmings is just the best name for us. It's so anti-corporate, you can rest assured not a single PR team would ever greenlight it in the history of PR teams. We don't need a PR team to approve our nickname, we don't want a PR team to approve our nickname, we don't want to have anything to do with whatever a PR team wants.
In case anyone was unsure, lemmings don't even jump off cliffs, that was literally just Disney staff throwing lemmings off cliffs like a bunch of psychopaths.
Lemme lend my fellow lemmings some lemons.
NO! I said months ago I hate this. I still hate this.
You’re better fall in line and jump off this cliff with the rest of us.
Your comment was so applicable to any of my comments that I assumed you were replying to the one where I said I wasn't going to start wearing pants at work.
Less talking. More dropping trou.
So what's your preferred alternative?
I think lemurs like the op said is better. However, I also think the ship has probably already sailed and lemmings is what it is.

We are mostly called "lemmings" here.

I am more attached to the idea of the fediverse as a whole than to Lemmy.
I think we should all be called "feds."
I'm not so sure of your solution, but as an Mbinner....
Not Feds 🤮
Activity pub
... Activists?
Fediverse
... Versus?

Lemming is the correct answer, but I'll also accept Lemmin' mostly because I'd love for there to be some kind of meet-up, like a Lemmin' Party or something.
Lidiots
It's all about the beans so how about bean... Wait I think that one's already taken.
Get with the times, now it's jeans.
No wait, it's now... Nope, already changed, it's back to beans again, carry on.
I think we're beams now. I keep seeing them everywhere. beans and beams.
There's never been any consensus that I'm aware of. All the suggestions are cringey.
We're just users.

Poor mouse.
Redditors but with extra steps
don’t you dare compare us with those R-words!
Do we need a name? Most social networks don't have a special name for their users.

An interesting comment from when this was asked a year ago.
Funniest one imo is Lemmegians (as in Norwegians). Not a very practical name though.
