    Here’s a thread from 5 months ago about this question: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/19795

    I usually just say “Lemmy users” for clarity, but I also like “lemmings”.

      If we keep repeating this question I think that’d make us lemmings, which is my preference.

      in concept, too much like sheeple - rather demeaning. Do I want to be a part of a user group that follows the crowd of of a cliff? but, the word is easy. “Lemmians” is the firs word that popped into my mind.

        Calling lemmy’s users ‘Lemmings’ may be a neat reminder of the harm of groupthink, something upvote-based forums incentivize, IMO.

          great point. I made the same point on ruqqus when I read that I need about 200 upvotes/points in order to start a guild.
