If we call reddit users redditors, what do we call lemmy users

A lot of people say fedditors but that sounds way too derivative of reddit

How is it not Lemmings?
lemmings
Lemmings. That's why I created Lemmings.world!
- I do like walking off cliffs.
  
  Don't we all?
- Have my virtual internet gold kind stranger 🥇
  
  We don't do gold here. We give 🍋!
Lemmings
- This so far seems to be the generally accepted term that's been making it's way around the platform here recently.
- It’s the only reasonable answer given the name really
- This and it isn't even an option
- I saw that someone has also suggested calling communities c/liffs, to go along with the Lemming theme. I thought it fit.
- And at some point, someone looking for a payday¹ is going to take video of us being herded off a cliff by an asshole² even though we don’t actually do that unless provoked, and it will become a totally wrong impression of us that enters the common knowledge base.
  ¹ every online tech journal

  Ironic, since lemmings don't actually jump off cliffs. The people making the documentary (Disney) that's famous from actually threw them over the cliff to make it interesting.
- Lemmyngs
- This is the correct answer.
- I concur
- Indeed, this is the way.
- Gotta be this
Lemmings
Lemmies
Lemmings
- I prefer the first one, but the other is fine too.
Lemmings
- This is the way
  
  This is the way.
- It really can only be this
Lemmies :D
Just. Cute.
- I like Lemmies more than Lemmings because of the implications of the latter
- Love it, I fell like it just rolls off the tongue nice.
- I liked Lemon Heads
Lemmings
Lemurs
- I like to move it move it!
Lemmings, clearly
- I don't understand why this isn't the most up voted selection.
  
  Ask and you shall receive
Lemmings is the obvious choice
- Yes, I'm willing to follow all of you off a cliff.
  
  Did you know, the famous shot of lemmings falling of a cliff in the documentary that started the ideas that lemmings will just die following their peers off a cliff was actually a bunch of documentary makers pushing a bunch of lemming off of it to make a cool shot and not actual lemmings behavior ? You probably did actually...
Lemiwinks
I feel like lemmings is already catching on.
The lemmon party
- THE LEMONS 🍋
  
  Ngl I wanna be a lemon cuz then we can start giving out lemonade(internet points)
  
  LEMON!
  
  Those damn lemons stealing whores.
Motörheads
- Yes.
- Cursed
- Hell no
- Fuck no. I wouldn't wear a signifier that put me in the same bucket as a weirdo who collected Nazi memorabilia.
Lemsbians
- That's when two lemmings fall in lemsbians with each other
  
  I'm in lembsians with you
Lemmy users.
Lemons? I think it'd be funny, and there's even an emoji for it too. 🍋
- But then a gathering will be called a "lemon party". And if you don't know why that's a problem, consider yourself lucky. Or Google it if you are brave.
- Le Mans
  
  Lee Lemon sir
- The big concern is that people will sour on it.
Fedophiles
- This made me chuckle, here’s a lemon award for you 🍋
  Lemming on!
  
  Let's have a lemon party!
- Here's an another lemon award for you:
  🍋
  
  Where do I buy lemon awards? All I’ve got are these useless apples. 🍎
- I'm sexually attracted to feds. They glow so beautifully in the dark
Lemurs
Lemmings.
Lemmings obviously
- From Reddit's point of view, we all just migrated off a cliff.
- You're just saying that because everyone else is.
- God damn it you're right. That's sucks.
  
  It doesn't suck at all... follow me fellow Lemming, you never know what cliffs we may find.
Motorheads, of course.
Fedderators. Mount up!
- Then the head of the Fedderation needs to be known as ServerLAN
Lemmings, obviously.
Follow the crowd!
Lemmiwinks
How about a new pronoun like Lem?
- I like what lem just said.
Communists
Lemmyheads
- I like this
  
  I like your use of italics
The Lemmons
Motorheads
Fedos lol
- Federasts
  
  Federalist is what that term should be if we're going that route. It's already a word with that exact meaning, though typically related to the government of a state/nation rather than a website/app.
Feds
Loomers
- Along with LemmX and Millemmials I suppose?
Lemmy McLemface
Lemmurs
Users
Lemons! I like lemons
- I want to be a part of this lemon party
- I want to be a part of this lemon party
I had this question about the categories or "sub-reddits." What are we calling those? Sub-lemmys? Sub-lemons? Sub-lemms?
- And we read sub-lemminal messages on the sub-lemms lol
I like the term "Fedinauts" since we interact cross platform like with Kbin users here too.
- I like it. Descriptive, and extensible.
- I don't hate this.
Lemurs?
- I second this
  
  This man REALLY seconds this
- I second this
  
  You've over-seconded it!
lemmas
- Lemmas bread.
Combustible Lemmons
Feds 😏
What about Lemmiwinks?
My vote goes to lemmers.
I like Lemmings and Lemmons.
- Would that make a group of Lemmons a Lemmon Party?
I prefer to think of myself as having been a Redditeur. Far above the peasantry of the Redditors. /s
- You're the landed gentry?
- Pray tell, good sir or madam, might I inquire if you, in all your noble magnificence, can lay claim to a distinguished position within the hallowed ranks of the illustrious landed gentry of Reddit?
Winks/Winkers in memory of Lemmywinks?
Lemmingtons for us Aussie users
- Lemmington Spas for the Brits
And not one of you said LAME?? I'm ashamed!
I know "lemmings" is catching on but what if we go for "federalists" because it sounds cool?
- I get what you are going for, and it sounds kinda cool but nahh. Federalist sounds too political lol. Lemmings sounds soft and cool imho
  
  But it would make the Lemmy Civil War so much cooler! Think about it.
  "After BeeHaw defederated, several federalists from the Lemmy World Federation, Lemmy ML Federation, and more, have conducted raids on the BeeHawvists."
  
  Federalist society is a right wing thing, would be funny if it could be taken though
- deleted by creator
- Federators. Mount up!
- The Fed
- I agree with federalist for the overall movement, but not Lemmy in particular. Federalist is a word that means that exact thing, so it works, but it's typically for nations/states.
- Lemon key face
What about Lemmites?
Lemmisseur
GoLems. Clearly.
Lemmos Lemheads LemLems Lemmers
It's a me, Lemmigo!
Lemmiers !
lemons
The lames
Lemkuza
Lemmingtons?
Lemmies.
- Lemmicles.
E-Lemminators
Lemmurs
Fedditors would be denizens of the larger Fediverse. It would not refer to only Lemmy users.
- Fedizens? Fedditor seems to retain some of the "Reddit".
  
  I could get behind Fedizen.
Lemurs, we goin' back to monké
Lmao?
Lemmees?
Motorheads
Lemmurs
I was gonna say lemmons but 🤷🏼‍♀️
- IRL meetups can be called lemmon parties
Motorheads
- Road crew
lemmytards.. i mean lemmitors. lemmyteirs? Lemmiknights?
i kinda like Lemmiknights.
- Federati
Marxist Lemminists
Lemme think..
Lemmitors!
Rockers
Awesome
Definitely not lemmings.
Feds??
- (3 letter agency Intensifies)
Lemmies?
Lemmers
- Lemurs maybe?
Reddifugees.
- Fledditors
  
  Rexitors
Lemmywinks
Fediphiles
Call me a Lemmer.
Leddites? (like Luddites)
