What do we call ourselves? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Recently I wanted to refer to the general populace of the divisions by zero, but it occurred to me we don't have a good shorthand for it,. I.e. like one talks about "lemmings" or "redditors". We could use something for members of lemmy.dbzer0.com.

Ideas?

I’m not hosted on this instance, but I worry that named identities based on instance host may lead to tribalism, which would be unhealthy for Lemmy users and the fediverse as a whole. Using phrases like “local users” or “users of [instance name]” or “[instance name] accounts” may be a better option. We’re all in this big network to have a good time together.
