Why’s it called Lemmy?
- Lead singer from Motörhead.
- The old school video game.
- The Koopa from Super Mario.
- The furry rodents.
As a metal fan, both Lemmy and Mastodon give me a little chuckle every time I think of their names.
BRB, starting a new service named Dethklok.
Lemmy is God.
Yes.
Lemmy Koopa was actually named after Lemmy from Motörhead. In fact, most of the Koopalings were named after musicals.
Huh. I didn’t know that. To be honest, I didn’t know that there was a Koopa named Lemmy until I looked at their github either. I’ve never played Mario.
Because servers are closed and people were yelling “Lemmy In!”

Once upon a time there was a Lemming called…

I am disappointed.
Somebody liked the Motörhead rock band, maybe (Lead vocalist’s name was Lemmy)?
The related names makes it really hard to be a useful name to search.
Why are you called sociablefish?
Maybe they need to go back to school.
Anyone got a link to a quick primer on how lemmy/kbin are related? I thought they were different sites?, but it seems they are not?
Kbin and Lemmy and Mastadon (and others) can all federate with each other, so posts and comments are all shared. They all speak the same underlying protocol – ActivityPub.
