Simple and clean. We don't need to overcomplicate it.

I think "lemming" could probably change given it's original definition

I like lemmings. It's hilariously ironic considering we want to try and get away from hiveminds (at least as much as is possible on any social platform).

Communities of Lemmings, no slices other than pizza

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

well communities are just called communities. That was established long before us Reddit refugees showed up here. I don't think there is an established name for members, but au like Lemmings or Lemmyngs

[–] Andvari 7 points 1 year ago

Lemmies maybe as an alternative to lemmings?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

i personally just been calling them sublemmies

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I thought the general consensus was lemmings, for cuteness.

I kinda like Lems, however

[–] PropaGandalf 1 points 1 year ago

Thats just the abbreviation. Communities and lemmings, simple as.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No, it will be sublemmy/sublemmies and noone wants to be called a lemming so it's probably going to be Lemur, Lemmer or Lemmiter. If I were assuming.

Lemmings is good cause we all jumped off the cliff together. After being chased away by spez

Lemmyngs

Sublemms

[–] Live_your_lives 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was thinking Lemmurs. Got a similar ending to Redditors and it's a play on Lemurs — Lemurs being bouncy, cuddly and funny looking, social (or anti-social depending on the species) primates.

[–] rgamuffin 1 points 1 year ago

I agree with this!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I cast my vote for Sublems and Lems tbh

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

May i suggest "lemmymen". It sounds cool to me.

Communities are communities, I'm pretty sure. I dunno, Lemmers?
