Lemmings
This post is 2 years old, but I just wanted to point out how funny it is to call lemmy users lemmings.
It was the same basic self-deprecating joke with reddit, just more explicit with the name on lemmy.
This is the only answer
Riffing off of another comment, I think it’s ok to have terms specific to each platform, and then a term for all platforms.
Platform specific:
- Lemming
- Kbiner
- Mastadoner
Overall:
- Fediverser
I mean, for Mastodon it’s gotta be “Mastodonians”
Kbingers
Feds (as in “Everyone here is secretly a cop”) or Fedizens
Mastodonians, Kbingers, and Fedizens are all superb. I’m not a fan of “feds” because it has another pretty common usage. I feel like whatever term is chosen should unambiguously evoke the fediverse.
The “fed” nickname was a bit facetious for exactly that reason. I just think it’d be funny for everyone to start calling eachother narcs. The internet is already full of that kind of fedjacketing, so why not embrace it?
Depends a little on what instance you’re from. For example people from the one I’m on are sh.itheads. Besides that I’ve heard lemmings for lemmy and fedizens for the greater fediverse a lot. I’ve also heard karabiner for kbin users.
Lemmydoers
Lemons
haha
Lemmings of course.
