reksas@sopuli.xyz 6 days agoSomeone in here already said it, but ‘Lemmy’ is a horrendous name. That alone was the reason why I didn’t bother to try it at all for a long time. Only recent events pushed me towards it but tbh I’m not sure I’ll stay.
You can say that again. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemmy
Guess what results come up first when you search for lemmy
Names are a discrete and contested domain and honestly I don’t see how Lemmy being also a person is a hindrance. Coke is also a drug yet no one complains, certainly not the big corpo.
Protip: you can search for more than one word on search providers. Something like “lemmy social” or “lemmy server” for example.
It just makes it more annoying to search for anything lemmy related

Lemmy standing for “Marxist-Leninist” surely is off-putting to some. Might be better to re-brand it as “Feddit” (federated Reddit).
