Coming from Reddit, the term subreddit was easy. Is there already a short name for Lemmy Communities?
Lemmity?
Lemmunity?
Sublemmit? (My wife’s suggestion, now my current favorite.)
A group of lemmings is called a “slice”.
If we’re not going for community I’d vote for this.
Lem
plural: Lems
Why not just community? It’s already called a community everywhere on the instances and its /c/ in the url. Imo it should start with a C no matter what
Yep. And can easily be shortened to com or comms.

Only on lemmygrad
People always referred to subreddits as a sub or community anyway. Easy.
Ok, so cum for short then?
cunts
How about “cub”.
Like, “we need a cub for this”.
i don’t think you know the meaning behind that word and i don’t want to be the one that tells you…
But subreddits are called Subreddits and have the format /r/subreddit_name.
Also, community is in my opinion
- too long to type out for something we will be using very often
- the word already has a meaning
It might be better to simply use another dedicated word
I understand, but theyre called subreddits by reddit. Lemmy calls them communities all over the instances. If the users suddenly start calling them something else it would get confusing
Definitely should be community. And I was hoping we could all leave the 3rd grade humor behind on reddit
I’m afraid to inform you that you are on the Internet
A sublemmy?
Community is fine, please, no cutesy nicknames.
Haha, Lemmunity was my first thought.
(also, my first comment here!)
I liked your wifes suggestion of Sublemmit, but I would compact it more and perhaps call it a Sublem? Much quicker to type out.
Lemco
I personally use “com” and hope it catches on.

Com feels like company or .com which also stands for company. Doesn’t feel right at all.
Comm then. I’ve seen people using it in the wild.
lemon
I kinda like “Lemon”.
Hexbear uses “comm”
Lemlet
I kind of wish the term from Kbin would catch on, Magazines.
Lemmings.
This has been used for “redditor” by now btw.
same thing…
