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.)

Lemmings.
This has been used for “redditor” by now btw.
same thing…
Lem
plural: Lems
Hexbear uses “comm”
Community is fine, please, no cutesy nicknames.
Honestly, I think the answer is obvious … same as it was before … “Sub”.
Especially as kbin uses “magazine” for its communities, which means we need a short hand that is not specific. “Sub” captures the idea perfectly well and obviously carries over the Reddit analogy.
My vote would be keep “Community” as the long form name, as it’s a good description of what it is and for. Then short form “sub” because in essence it’s a subset of the total community.
Sublemmies :)
Lmao, everything sounds like LeBron naming memes or whatever it’s called. 😂
This reminds me of the good ol memes with “le me”:
Rage comics were the golden age of memes, to be honest.
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
People always referred to subreddits as a sub or community anyway. Easy.
Ok, so cum for short then?
cunts
Personally I prefer Community, it is nicely neutral and conveys the correct message I think. If people think that’s too broad, then “sub” is a solid short option.
A group of lemmings is called a “slice”.
If we’re not going for community I’d vote for this.
Sublemmy? Sublem?
A sublemmy?
Good question. Similarly I was talking with someone the other day about what a user should be called (Lemming?) and what the act of using Lemmy might be called (also lemming!)
I like Lemmunity :-)
I kind of wish the term from Kbin would catch on, Magazines.
Lemmurians
no
I see you point. But … Why?
If Subreddit -> Sub…
Then Community -> Commune ?Seems apt given the developer’s political leanings. But it wouldn’t be as inviting to neutral users, so ‘sub’ seems to be fine to me.
