I’m rolling with users being called lemmings. A group of lemmings is called a slice. We could call communities slices.
Why slices?

I’m good with “people” but lemmings seems to be the preferred option.

Alright so this may be unpopular but in my opinion demonyms are cringe as fuck, so my personal choice would be “fans of Motörhead”
Cringe as fuck

Lemmy’s Motörheads: What do you think sun plasma tastes like?
Lemmy’s fans of Motörhead: Insert poll

In my opinion, both demonyms and most other types of collective nouns are cringe as fuck. One notable exception of course being crows, because calling it a murder is fucking metal 🤘
