Just gonna throw this out there: Lemmy is a bad and dumb name.
It’s a joke about users being lemmings
this subtly denegrates the user on every usage
this implies the app/product itself isn’t that serious and sounds kinda childish
It’s not a satisfying word from a pronunciation standpoint. How many other company or product names can you think of that end with that ee sound? Reddit, Twitter, Threads, they all end with these conclusive consonant sounds. Lemmy sounds like it’s trailing off while whining.
At best it conjures up images of rat like rodents.
