    every time I read lemmy my brain adds a “in”

    like “let me in”

    so now I’m starting to think it means “let me in your instance”

    my brain is weird

    It’s called lemmy because it’s for Le Mean people.

    Lemmy is derived from a combination of the ancient Dutch words Lëmenfermœnd and Myynerhå meaning internet and federated protocol.
