I want to draw some fediverse mascots and the only few I’ve seen unnamed are Lemmy’s and Mastodon’s. If the name is Lemmy, I’ll be okay with that too. Anyone know either of their names?

Also, it’s a mouse, right? Or another rodent?

    Idk about the name although Lemmy sounds appropriate. I also don’t know the species of the mascot, bjt it being a lemur sounds appropriate too.

        In popular culture, a longstanding myth holds that they jump off cliffs and commit mass suicide.

        The “Misconceptions” section also has some interesting bits.

        Another myth may have roots in the fiercely aggressive nature of lemmings during population booms, and the corresponding leftovers of predatory frenzies: lemmings do not explode.
