Pumpkin

We’ve looked at the user data and carrots just aren’t that popular, so it doesn’t make sense to keep supporting them. We’re working on a new vegetable which we hope to show off sometime new next.

From the Lemmy Github:

• Lead singer from Motörhead.
• The old school video game .
• The Koopa from Super Mario.
• The furry rodents.

I used to pretty much just lurk when I used reddit, I’d maybe post a comment every few months, but really I’d just lurk. I’ve easily past the number of posts and comments I ever made to reddit during the many years of using it daily. Initially I wanted to make an effort for Lemmy to succeed, obviously it has less people so as your post is suggesting, I was trying to do my part. I found I really enjoy posting here though, the community is really great.

Lemmy calls them “communities” but since Lemmy federates over ActivityPub which can have lots of different implementations and Lemmy can speak to them, they can have different names. For example there is kbin which calls them “magazines”, another implementation might call them something else.
