The name has already made this nonviable for the average person
I can't understand why every other fediverse name is so stupid as to be off putting to the average user.
Seems to me pretty much an even spread of how good the names are
Lemmy is a stupid god awful name.
The first result you get on google is a dead singer. Every other search you will have him on the front page instead of what you're trying to find. Contrast this to searching for something from reddit.
