Case closed.

This question does get asked a lot, as someone else pointed out. But even if you go back to when it was asked a couple of years ago the consensus has always been lemmings.

We really need to get a search function so this post can stop being asked 1x daily by some new refugee.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad y’all are here and it moves a lot faster than 2y ago, but every day with this question, and no consensus has been reached. We should all just stop “asking” and let time tell us what we call ourselves, some word will win eventually.

I don’t think Reddit refugees in particular will be used to a search function that works.

Weeellll when you click that link in jerboa it just loads your “local” tab, so I’m hesitant to call that a “working” search function.

Ah, that’s a shame. Works pretty well on the website

See the sidebar - it’s not perfect, but it’s there. The most recent post I can find is from two weeks ago so leaving this one up.

The “search asklemmy” link that loads my “local” tab in jerboa? Hard to call that “working” imo.

That’s a Jerboa problem not an asklemmy problem.

:shrug: It works on my machine - i.e. I tested it on the web ui, not in each individual app.

Lemmings.

As stated, lemmy is named after 4 sources, with the furry rodent being one of them. (Although the last option)

I love being a furry rodent gnawing away at Reddit. ;)

Most Lemmings that have been asked about this have agreed that Lemmings is a pretty nice name.
