Fediverse users are femurs?
We are mostly called “lemmings” here.
Reference: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemmings_(video_game)
I think I prefer Lemurians https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemuria
Lemmings strong together
Guys, come quick!!! I found the cliff!!!
I’m not falling for that one again, Mr. Disney Documentarian.
sets fire to your neighborhood
Oh no!
I am more attached to the idea of the fediverse as a whole than to Lemmy.
I think we should all be called “feds.”
Not Feds 🤮
Fediversians
I’m not so sure of your solution, but as an Mbinner…

accurate. BTW, i got a copy of red hat linux from the library back in '98 or so and tried to install it on my 386 but 8MB of RAM was too little by half. Windows 95 ran on it tho!
so obviously i use arch nowadays, but i’ve been feeling a little BSD-curious. it seems like linux might get overrun with normies soon and i need a backup plan
Lemming is the correct answer, but I’ll also accept Lemmin’ mostly because I’d love for there to be some kind of meet-up, like a Lemmin’ Party or something.
Lidiots
The fun thing about demonyms this is that there’s no grammatical rule for them.
It’s just kind of socially agreed upon.
Nobody from Boston would say they’re bostonite. They would say a Bostonian.
However, there are many more miltons. In the world around there are miltonians and miltonites.
People from Liverpool are liverpudlians.
People from Venice are venetian.
People from St Kitts are called kitty cats.

Another good one is Glasgow -> Glaswegians. Here’s a pretty interesting article about a few odd demonyms:
https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/demonyms-linguistics-nicknames
The demonym “Glaswegian” comes, linguists think, as an analogy of the Irish city of Galway. “Glasgow” and “Galway” are two fairly similar looking words. And Galway has long had its own analogy with another similar-looking word: Norway. Galway’s demonym is “Galwegian,” as an analogy of “Norwegian.” So “Glaswegian” is a sort of a photocopy-of-a-photocopy of Norwegian. Not something anyone could ever guess!
And people from Wisconsin are called Cheese Heads.
I don’t want to be grouped together with any of you.
Which is why you’ve chosen to be a kbinite.
to be fair
That’s where I started too, much much better web interface than base lemmy. But then .social got flaky and I tried out Voyager and here we are.
Kbinite is close enough to kryptonite so they should be called kryptonians
I was thinking “carbonite” myself.
There’s never been any consensus that I’m aware of. All the suggestions are cringey.
We’re just users.
Lemmings was the consensus pretty much every time this question comes up
No it’s not. You personally might like it but if it were the consensus people would use it and this question wouldn’t be asked every week.
Lemurians.
Lemmywinks?
Poor mouse.
Redditors but with extra steps
Lemmyors
Lemmyvores?
I found this humerus.
