But Lemmy is God
Based on what I've learnt, what's holding Lemmy back is that a large amount of users are fucking man babies that brigade any women-oriented communities and drive women in general away from this place, while admins just sit back and allow them to. The Lemmy mouse needs a fedora.
Leave .world alone! (the answer to the original question is not instance wars)
If it's anything like twoxchromosomes I could see why, thanking god I've never befriended anyone irl that frequents that place, I assumed the drama site was a lemmy instance and mostly woman oriented but ive never seen it here so I guess not

Perhaps. First name that came to me was remmy but the real nane is remy from the movie
Maybe, but it would be hard to pivot at this point. There's other things that would be a way better use of dev time.
what would be a better name?
- lemming
- lemorian?
lemmy is okay
Lemmino. Wait, a Swedish YouTuber already uses that name.
musician
Who?
I think the political culture is holding it back more than the name. People poke their heads in and see an environment that is far more left than theyβre used to so they head back to Reddit. It can be a shock to see all the moe/loli and communist stuff when they arenβt used to it.
π best tip I got in my early days on Lemmy was to not hesitate with blocking instances

We could retcon it as named after the koopaling.
As much as I love Motorhead, it's not a great name.
I have long contended there is no good band name. All are terrible.

Lemmy needs better marketing. The name is lame an non-descriptive of what it is. The UI, while awesome to the tech savvy is not modern enough to compete with alternatives. For Lemmy to succeed it has to become "cool" and it's not there yet and seems to lack that sort of direction.
Yeah but Lemmy is dead. Also a lost oppurtunity for the metal community to not just go by Kilmister. could flipped it to be Mr. Kill
