Sorry if someone has already asked this. This is my first post on Lemmy. I mean, I guess you could ask the same question about Reddit but I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be Read-It. But what does Lemmy mean? Is it a cute word for a small lemon?

I guess it’s a tradition to name fediverse projects after animals and the original creator was a big fan of the Lemmings games and Lemmy from Motorhead had just died.
Here’s a link with info on the origin story:

I choose to believe it’s named after God.
Trick answer, Lemmy is god
deleted by creator
If Lemmy is God, and we are all Federated through Lemmy, are we all God?
You mean we could have had Earthworm Jim and don’t?
Don’t rule it out.
Groovy!
That explains why everytime I google lemmy results show up for motorhead
