So are we Fedditors, Lemmites, Kbinites?
kbinners?
kbinators?
kbinizens?
kbinites?
kbinitors?
Just throwing names at the wall and seeing if something sticks. Thanks.

mrbubblesort, Coming up with a name is pretty nerdy to be honest. Might as well go full nerd and call us Star Fleet because we're a part of the Federation
Flag, Thats.... not bad tbh! Ha.
0xtero, What about those who post here (and to Lemmy) from Mastodon? Or from Calckey or Bookwyrm?
Maybe we don't need to adopt Reddit culture at all? surprisedpikachu.jpg
danielton, Needs more jpeg.
Ragnell, (edited ) Listen, as nerds we need a classification system.
Odusei, Demonyms are way older than reddit. It's not "reddit culture" to come up with a name for the users of a social media site, it's a practice that long predates reddit.
quirzle, What are users of old school forums called? Or myspace? Facebook? 4chan? I'm actually struggling to come up with a single similar forum or social media site that insisted on using a stupid cutesy nickname like reddit did; can you help me out here?
Nougat, "Diggers" was one.
Odusei, 4channer was used a lot, same with farkers, and b3tards (not great to look back on).
CodingAndCoffee, We are the Federati
Maestro, We're humans. Let's embrace that instead of trying to label in- and outgroups 😊
Infiltrated_ad8271, I agree with this Kbinmate kbinner.
lavender, This whole 'we need a name and a mascot' deal has big 'Stop trying to make Fetch happen' vibes.
bazpoint, Actually quite like Fedditors. Acknowledges where most of us came from, while being something different. Can also be interpreted as 'feck-reddit-ors'. Is good.
speck, No shade to lemmy instances, but definitely not Lemmites. There's an unhealthy trend right now to reduce the fediverse to just Lemmy (and lemmy.world, more specifically) that we should not encourage.
starlinguk, I can't even see half the posts when I'm on a Lemmy instance. Kbin is the best one if you want to see everything.
badgerking, Beans.
AnActualFossil, K-beans?
stopthatgirl7, Beanie babes.
Otome-chan, kbinauts is what I see
bron, My guess is that each platform will have its own smaller names applied to it (e.g. kbinners, lemmites, etc.) and each variant will be interchangeable, then as things settle down and the dust clears, there would be a more common, less "exclusive" name like "posters" as someone mentioned. The email comparison comes to mind, we don't go around calling each other "gmailers" or "outlookers", but addresses or emails.
xc2215x, Yeah we are Kbinners.
cloaker, Kbinauts
Ragnell, (edited ) Federati, Fedizens for general Fediverse, which includes Mastodon, Pixelfed, Calckey, Lemmy....etc... Lemmings for Lemmy users, Kbinauts for Kbin users.
I suggest Threadites (pronounced as rhyming with Deadites) as collective for Lemmy, Kbin, Beehaw and whatever other Fediverse Forum programs join the Threadiverse.
BlackBart, I think kbin users should be called Oscars, after Oscar the grouch, (lived in a bin for 50 years).
FIST_FILLET, kbeans and lemmings sounds the most cute to me :) haven’t heard a similar one for feddit yet
