      Every time I read lemmings it sounds as though we all jumped off the Reddit cliff to kill ourselves in the Lemmy mines. It’s not wrong, it just isn’t the best mental image lol.

        Well if it makes you feel better, lemmings don’t actually leap off cliffs. It’s a myth that started with a 50s Disney nature documentary where the crew literally threw some lemmings off a cliff. Pretty messed up.

    Almost always “Lemmings.” Reason is below.

    In a 2020 post, Lemmy’s co-creator Dessalines wrote about the origin of the name Lemmy. “It was nameless for a long time, but I wanted to keep with the fediverse tradition of naming projects after animals. I was playing that old-school game Lemmings, and Lemmy (from Motorhead) had passed away that week, and we held a few polls for names, and I went with that.”[8]

    I think ‘lemmings’ is the most commonly used term. I would have used ‘motorheads’ myself though.
