Sorry if someone has already asked this. This is my first post on Lemmy. I mean, I guess you could ask the same question about Reddit but I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be Read-It. But what does Lemmy mean? Is it a cute word for a small lemon?

        Rey Mysterio is more likely named after the Spider-man villain than the reverse. Mysterio the Spider-man villain was created about a decade before the man who became Rey Mysterio was even born.

            Ignoring the number of villains that aren’t animals, you’re talking about someone who was six when Mysterio first appeared. They weren’t born with the name Mysterio either.

            And I also am realizing this is likely a joke because a vast majority of Spider-man villains aren’t animals to begin with.

              And neither are all the Fediverse services. Another similarity! I don’t know where this rabbit hole ends (probably a rabbit).
