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
And not one of you said LAME?? I'm ashamed!
Lemmings obviously
From Reddit's point of view, we all just migrated off a cliff.
Lemmings, clearly
I don't understand why this isn't the most up voted selection.
Ask and you shall receive
Lemmings of course
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...
Is this legit? Do you have a source I could read? If this is real that's so effed
You can find it on the wikipedia page of the film, but if you search for it on the internet you find a ton of sources https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Wilderness_(film)

How is it not Lemmings?
I prefer to think of myself as having been a Redditeur. Far above the peasantry of the Redditors. /s
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?
Fedophiles
This made me chuckle, here’s a lemon award for you 🍋
Lemming on!
I'm sexually attracted to feds. They glow so beautifully in the dark

Motörheads
Hell no
I had this question about the categories or "sub-reddits." What are we calling those? Sub-lemmys? Sub-lemons? Sub-lemms?
They are generally referred to as communities or magazines.
I'm guessing the community will come up with their own nomenclature in time. But I'm personally fine with just referring to them as Fediverse Communities.
I feel like trying to come up with a "snappy" name is just another holdover from the site that shall not be named.
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."

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.
