it's arbitrary and the developer probably didn't expect Lemmy to grow that big lol
I just figued they called it lemmy so we'd all be called lemmings
I thought it was named after lemurs after the lemur-like behaviour people exhibit on socialmedia.
I'm just glad the name is not something related to r****t.
