I just thought this might make a fun discussion thread for folks to chat about ideas and make silly pie jokes.

I'm curious to hear what folks think would be fun, or work well!

I thought Lemmy users were lemmings.

[–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I completely forgot "lemmings" 😅😅

I've probably actually seen that one more, I don't know how I forgot it lol

Don't worry about him, he's just an anti-Lemmite

Cutie pies!! 🥹

The only downside is it might not be the most self explanatory

FOR THE LAST TIMES, LEMMY USERS ARE LEMMINGS. also, I got a good name for the american piefed users!

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago

I thought we were Lemmings.....

Not too late for PieFed to rename "communities" to "slices"

[–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

This is a quite fun one

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago

We're Lemmings.

[–] cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 1 week ago (3 children)

It's Lemmings not Lemmites, so keeping that same energy... Piefeedings? Piefeddings? I think Piefedders sounds better, though none of them are great.

However, Piefed does have fed in it like fediverse, so it's not a bad name, just hard to riff off of.

Re: Lemmings.

How about Magpies?

Lemmy users are lemmings

I think Piefed users can be called Piefeddites

Piefeeders PieFeds(like federal agent) piffids piefedditors pies magpies

Its a hard one for names, maybe the name should come from the instance like blarj users.

[–] scintilla@crust.piefed.social 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think refering to people on piefed as feds without context would be hilarious.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 6 points 1 week ago (3 children)

How people will see us then:

obviously an old dressed like a kid, saying "how do you do fellow kids"?

Magpies seems very cute, but like my other favorite so far, might not be super self explanatory

Pie feds aka “the feds”

Fatties?

After being fed so many pies

[–] rimu@piefed.social 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

This seems like as good a time as any to plug !pies@piefed.social for everything pie-related.

I said it before and I'll say it again: call us all "the Feds".

[–] Tangerine@scribe.disroot.org 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Pythonidae?

It doesn’t sound very nice, I prefer the others’ suggestions: cutie pie, magpie, slice, etc.

I choose not to differentiate the two. I think we are all part of the same group

It's home instances that we are tribal about more than software interface.

Pied pipers. Or just pipers. Piepers?

Slices, because they're a part of the pie.

If we want to keep it silly, then "pie-munchers' gets my nomination.

I was thinking about that too. And you know what? After taking part in Mastodon, then Lemmy, now PieFed and discovering PeerTube I now more identify as a Fediverse user than a user of one of the parts

Fediversling/Fediverser lacks an unofficial-official name too, btw ;)

Serious answer, piefedians, fedians or piens for short.

Fun answer: pie-ons (peons), or of you want to separate the lurkers from the contributors, you have pie-eaters and pie-mongers

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 week ago

Pies? Rather simple.
