For Lemmy users specifically, I believe Lemmings has been widely accepted. However, when referring to a user of federated software in general (remember they can potentially communicate with other federated software), we could refer to each other as “Fedizens” of the “Fediverse”. I have seen a developer use the term “Fedizen” in one of their code examples, and I like it as a more inclusive name.
I’ve heard federati, which I quite like assuming it’s with roots in literati - the well read or literate, those who have “read it” if you will.
Does have some classist vibes but most people on here will be able to read. I suppose blind people with screen readers might feel excluded? No worse than reddit anyway.
