I hate the name Lemmy, there, I said it .. as much as I hated the name Google+
They should've called it Google Circles. Google Plus just sounded like some kind of premium subscription to Google and not like a social network.
I really enjoyed Google+ specifically for the Circles feature. I'm pretty sure it was the age unrestricted global Hangouts chats that killed it.. Probably what this scene from Silicon Valley is about.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=hjtr64ZQUWA
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
I don't care about the name much, but it's going to make searching for anything on here through a regular search engine cumbersome. Lemmy is just going to bring up results to the late motorhead singer
It's like how Reddit is
I've read it, Lemmy isLet me tell you.. Think an excited person, "Lemmytellyousomething!!!"Oh I like that.
Ope, Lemmy just scooch past ye there, tryna get some ranch
Okay, I’m on board now with the name
It'll change if it gets popular, not everything can have an ultra unique name
Yeah, I know. If Lemmy get's big enough it's going to be the top searches just like Reddit was. Until that time though, it's going to be a whole lot of power stache lol.
Not much discussion here to be of value showing up in search results yet anyway.
I really like the name :)
I'm a huge motorhead fan. The name is a not insignificant part of why I chose this as a reddit alternative over the others
I just think it ultimately sounds like a lousy c-grade 3rd party app. Then again, Mastodon isn't much better. At least Reddit is basically witty.
Lemmy tell you why I like the name...
Three whole syllables is a bold move for mastodon
