Lemmyers? Lemmurs?
Lemmyists?
Lemmitors?
Lemmings.
Case closed.
This question does get asked a lot, as someone else pointed out. But even if you go back to when it was asked a couple of years ago the consensus has always been lemmings.
Old school represent!
I used to play lemmings on my pc in like '92 thats ancient school i guess.
“Woo-hooo! Woo-hooo! Woo-hooo!”
Forever etched in my brain
That’s where I got my avatar
We really need to get a search function so this post can stop being asked 1x daily by some new refugee.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad y’all are here and it moves a lot faster than 2y ago, but every day with this question, and no consensus has been reached. We should all just stop “asking” and let time tell us what we call ourselves, some word will win eventually.
I don’t think Reddit refugees in particular will be used to a search function that works.
Ooof
It is literally the first thing you see in the sidebar
Weeellll when you click that link in jerboa it just loads your “local” tab, so I’m hesitant to call that a “working” search function.
Ah, that’s a shame. Works pretty well on the website
See the sidebar - it’s not perfect, but it’s there. The most recent post I can find is from two weeks ago so leaving this one up.
The “search asklemmy” link that loads my “local” tab in jerboa? Hard to call that “working” imo.
That’s a Jerboa problem not an asklemmy problem.
Fair, but “working” is still a condition I put forth as desireble. Whether or not it not working is asklemmy’s fault or jerboa’s fault, it doesn’t “work.”
I’m not accusing you personally of sabotaging lemmy, we’re all cool here, I’m just saying “a working search function would be a good thing to have inside all communities on lemmy” and I’m not sure why that would be controversial.
From my end, it sounds like you want things that haven’t been developed yet and don’t like the bandaid solutions that have been added to try and help. There are a ton of things that won’t work from the different apps and again, expecting them to makes it sound like you have expectations that just can’t be met right now.
Well, what I was actually saying was that feature that hasn’t been developed yet would be cool to have.
Are we not allowed to think features that haven’t been developed yet would be good to develop? How does developing happen if one is only allowed to think current features would be good? Sure, “we have community search at home,” but I can’t still want actual McDonald’s fries? They are objectively better than orida, “real search” is better than “bandaid solutions,” honestly I don’t get why there would be pushback against the thought that “we need a real search function,” tbh, you make it sound like they’re developing it or working on it so obviously someone agrees with me, what’re we doing here? Same team dude.
:shrug: It works on my machine - i.e. I tested it on the web ui, not in each individual app.
Lemmings.
As stated, lemmy is named after 4 sources, with the furry rodent being one of them. (Although the last option)
I love being a furry rodent gnawing away at Reddit. ;)
Most Lemmings that have been asked about this have agreed that Lemmings is a pretty nice name.
Lemon Partiers
Lemmethinkaboutit
Motorheads
Road crew!
Before any of the iOS apps were worth a damn, I decided to try and figure out how to make an app myself. I was going to call it Ace, and hope that at least someone knew why.
I didn’t get very far though, because I’ve literally never made an app before.
Lemmings.
Lemmings, KBiners, Fedi… Folk? I don’t know.
Fedifolk i can actually rally my pitchfork behind that one.
Lemmies? 🤷
Lemmies are the Instances themselves, actually. Lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, beehaw.com are all Lemmies/Instances/Servers. The terms are used interchangeably, with most calling them Instances.
I use Lemmy and Kbin simultaneously. I prefer the term ‘Fedditors’, which I recently read in a similar thread…
Kilmisters
This is it. It’s even named after him.
😉
Lemmites, obviously, or Lusers
