How do we talk about the Lemmy Doodle? Is it a mascot? Is it a lemming or a rat or a lemur? Does it have a name?

Pretty sure it's a jerboa.

Those lil legs are so awkward, I love them!

I heard someone call it a rodent AT-ST and thought that was perfect lol

In my head canon it’s a rat. But I’m very biased.

Looks like it is supposed to be a Lemming, as they refer to it on their github page (4^th^ bullet comment). But I don’t think they actually give it a name.

Also, fun fact, (and trigger warning) the Lemmy logo isn’t symmetrical.

Need to put that trigger behind a spoilers blocker! I'll never unsee it....

I hate you.

Wow, that's actually amazing IMO. It's a tiny reality detail. Heads generally aren't symmetrical.

The more important question is when will we be able to customize its appearance and when can we turn them into NFTs.

People like you cause unrest. I respect that.

Thavron, 1 year ago

I do my part.

Here’s the first batch of 4 bored Lemmys, quick and dirty. I’mma start the bidding at $600 each.

I have had an equally difficult time having an AI anthropomorphize lemmings.

linuxFan, 1 year ago

Not gonna lie, I didn’t know what a lemming looked like until today.

ilex, 1 year ago

I think we need to keep trying every so often. Eventually the AI will learn how to draw them in people's clothes.

I think that's what happened with otters and why I have been able to amass so many otterotic images.

Thavron, 1 year ago

I’ll take seven.

I think it’s supposed to be a lemming. I imagine its name is just Lemmy, tho I call him Lem for short. Honestly though any small rodent is going to look like a rat or mouse to me (and I love animals lol.)

clueless_stoner, 1 year ago

Yep it's a lemming. there's versions of it in YSK's community banner and icons too lol, and on mildly infuriating

ilex, 1 year ago

Cool thanks. I happened to have a considerable supply of lemming, ferret, and otter erotica (or otterotica for short) in advance of finding out about this place. Now I have an application. Wanted to make sure it wasn't a lemur.
