The origin of the name is actually told in Lemmy’s GitHub page, it’s not just the Motorhead singer and Lemmings:
So basically the name came from an amalgam of things the lead dev liked.
The koopa is named after the lead singer from Motorhead IIRC
My favorite part is that Lemmy Koopa was also named after mister Kilmister.
Lemmy was basically God in the metal scene.
Why are speculations voted higher than this accurate answer? Link to the Github page for everyone to check: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy#whys-it-called-lemmy
Yes i realy miss an option to sort comment by votes as default. I hope that gets implemented at some point.
Thank you. I saw a comment claiming it was named after the butt gerbil from South Park. I am relieved to know that it is not.
