Nice try, but you’re never going to convince me that it’s not named after THE Lemmy:
Don’t worry! He is listed as an official reason.
Warms the cockles of my black, metallic heart 🤘❤️
I thought it was because Reddit is like “read it” and Lemmy is like “Lemmy show you this”. Lemmings is a great name though.
I didn’t really think much of it myself, but when I joined, for like two weeks, joining instances was a bit harder due to some being closed and others having sporadic downtime. So one very common joke was people saying “Lemmy In! LEMMY IN!”
Makes me think of the mass migration from Digg to Reddit, same for 9gag. I have a lot of hope for the Fediverse though.
Are you saying that we are marching to our deaths? Is this a taunt?
I think it’s implying disney is throwing us off a cliff

Should have named it after sheep.
