No, you’re correct. The software was named after the small rodent (lemming). One of the co-creators of lemmy talks about the name here: https://lemmy.ml/post/70319

It’s just that “lemmy” sounds like you’re saying “let me” quickly and not enunciating properly.

Ha!

We should also have a c/LemmyAskYouSomethinRick because that popped into my head when I saw this.

Super useful, thanks! 👍
