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.)

Lem
plural: Lems
A group of lemmings is called a “slice”.
If we’re not going for community I’d vote for this.
I like it.
I like slice! A slice of life… A slice of the lemmingverse 😁
A sublemmy?
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.
Hexbear uses “comm”
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
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
Yep. And can easily be shortened to com or comms.
Communities -> commies
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…
Slice!
I upvote “sublems” or “sublemmies”.
Lemmings… Yup. I like that.
Lemmings should refer to the users
Agreed.
lemon
Lemmings.
This has been used for “redditor” by now btw.
same thing…
PCommunity is fine, please, no cutesy nicknames.
Lemco
I like slice.
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.
A burrow.
