Lemmy, what do you call users of Lemmy? (lemmy.ml)

I like lemmings but it might be a bit derogatory. Even with that I still think it's better than 'redditors', which always sounded/looked goofy to me.

Any ideas? What do we call Lemmy users?

My current vote is for lemmings. I think it's cute.

My favorites from this thread are Lemurs, Lemmites and Lemurians, in that order.

I think the hivemind has already spoken, but damn, I wish it was Lemons.

Lemmites (pronounced Leh-Mites) could be one of the contenders. One can also go about saying, “Lemmites here have been nothing but kind ….” or something like, “A lemmite suggested me this website!”

We could go with federators as we are now part of the fediverse, then we can also include mastodonians
