Also what does lemmy mean if it means anything. I don’t know wtf reddit means either. Just a silly curiousity.
Ooh so there are multiple reasons beside the lemmings too, cool!
It’s not a rat, it’s a Lemming.
Reddit is a play on words “I read it -> on reddit”
I think the name Lemmy comes from lemmings, a kind of rodent, aand, that probably answer both your questions right? That’s what i think it is
So no connection with Motörhead…
@LazaroFilm @Quills
Yes, it is! #Motörhead too, but not only:
“Why’s it called Lemmy?
Lead singer from Motörhead.
The old school video game.
The Koopa from Super Mario.
The furry rodents.”
github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy#whys…It’s literally the first in the list of meaning.

Thanks everyone, my curiosity has been sated. Good day to you all.
I’m pretty sure reddit comes from “read it” btw
