We’re lemmings.
Showerthoughts
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.
We solved this like a year ago! Though I had completely forgotten what it actually was.
I’m the little dude who lays 3 stairs and then goes boldly forward.
I‘m the one with that rope. A Lemmnja.
I’m the diggy diggy hole lemming
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.
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."
Not Feds 🤮

I'm not so sure of your solution, but as an Mbinner....
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.

The fun thing about demonyms this is that there's no grammatical rule for them.
It's just kind of socially agreed upon.
Nobody from Boston would say they're bostonite. They would say a Bostonian.
However, there are many more miltons. In the world around there are miltonians and miltonites.
People from Liverpool are liverpudlians.
People from Venice are venetian.
People from St Kitts are called kitty cats.

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.
Lemmywinks?
Poor mouse.
There's never been any consensus that I'm aware of. All the suggestions are cringey.
We're just users.
Lemmings was the consensus pretty much every time this question comes up
Redditors but with extra steps
I found this humerus.
Do we need a name? Most social networks don't have a special name for their users.
We are lemmys.
Lemmies? Lemons? Lemmy Lemons? 🍋
When life gives you lemons......uh.......make linux memes and federate?
