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 32 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I completely forgot "lemmings" πŸ˜…πŸ˜…

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!! πŸ₯Ή

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 10 months ago

I thought we were Lemmings.....

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

[–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

This is a quite fun one

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 32 points 10 months ago

We're Lemmings.

[–] cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 10 months 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 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 6 points 10 months 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 β€œthe feds”

[–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 10 months ago

Fatties?

After being fed so many pies

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 10 points 10 months ago

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

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

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

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.

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

Pied pipers. Or just pipers. Piepers?

[–] INeedMana@piefed.zip 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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 ;)

[–] BagOfHeavyStones@piefed.social 5 points 10 months ago

I'm thinking 'Fedder.'

One who Feds.

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

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 10 months ago

Pies? Rather simple.

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 5 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I like the idea of pieons, from peon (which I promise I don't mean derogatorily seeing as I'm not on piefed myself)

[–] toomanypancakes@piefed.world 8 points 10 months ago (3 children)

You must construct additional pieons

@Cris_Color Since they're armed with pies, how about "clowns"?
