minus-square@CascadianBeamlink57•1 year agoI thought it was because Reddit is like “read it” and Lemmy is like “Lemmy show you this”. Lemmings is a great name though.
minus-square@DrQuintlink25•1 year agoI 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!”
