Why a mouse? Seems a few Lemmy instances have a mouse as a logo / mascot.
I believe it's supposed to be a lemming, but the ears are way too big.

Ah! It's an inherited piece of artwork, based on the mother instance, err, or the original instance of Lemmy.ml and the open source project itself. It's a bit of a nod to the musician, the Mario character, an old video game, and, of course, the adorable critter.
Excellent to know. Thank you!
The Mario character is named after the musician, so I found that point odd when I first read it.
