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.
Lemmy is God.
BRB, starting a new service named Dethklok.
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!”

Why is kbin called like something KDE developers would use to parse their binaries?
It’s called lemmy because all the lemmings join it.
The thing that’s nice about being a “lemming” is that in reality they are very feisty critters and don’t do the weird mass running off of cliffs things that they are “known” for.

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.
