If reddit users are redditors, what are lemmy users?

Lemmings of course.
- I really like this one even if it does come with the implication that we are marching to our doom.
  
  Its extra funny because redditors will definitely have a superiority complex about it. Look at those lemmings, all unthinkingly upvoting each other, unlike me, a profound and insightful redditor.
- I've always thought it should be this, it just kinda makes sense.

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

I've always been fond of Lemmynauts
- lemm-o-nauts

Lemmings.

lemurs

Nerds

Lemons?
- lemonters
- that one was good

Lemmurs or Lemmers? Just not "lee-murs". 😁
- Ach, I should've said lemmys or lemmies.

Given the existence of kbin and potentially others, we shouldn't be named something specific to lemmy.
We are obviously all feds
- “The feds” don’t have the best connotation…
  Also in practice the sentences come out a bit unclear to me. “The fed that posted this clearly knew their stuff.” “Some feds just like to stir things up.”
  Edit: that said, I think that’s a really good point about the need for a platform neutral term.

I like @SloppilyFloss@lemmy.ml idea of Lemmynauts lol.

I set for Lemmurs.

Lemminists

lemmings are the masses, lemurs are the sophisticrats who must be overthrown

lemminauts

Lemmings

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.

Lemmians.

Lemons
- haha

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

Lemmynators

Lemmerds

Lemoids
