Reddit = Lemmy
Subreddits = Sublemmies
Redditors = Lemmings
I really hope lemmings doesn’t become the norm
I vote for lemmurs instead
Or maybe Lemmers?
And subs could just be called Lemms?
Like the animal: lemur?
Yep but with two mm to differentiate. Who doesn’t want to be associated with such cute creatures?
Lemmyheads?
I like lemmings.
Agreed. Maybe lemmitor?
“Lemmies” seems pretty concise.
Why not? Can you explain why you don’t like the name?
because it sounds redditarded
Because lemmings are considered dumb followers
Oh, where did you hear that?
Oh, now I understand. I liked the name because of the show Grizzy and the Lemmings.
Subreddits are already called communities with /c/ prefix
I’m leaning towards: sublems or comms
There are terms for this. The communities are called communities and not Sublemmies. And Lemmings is a very specific term which excludes all the other services in the Fediverse which can interact with Lemmy communities. I prefer an inclusive term like Fedinauts or Fedizens.
It’s missing lemmy’s instances, a concept that doesn’t exist in reddit.
Lemming: any of various short-tailed furry-footed rodents of circumpolar distribution
I’m not a fan of sumlemmies. Since “communities” is a mouthful, I propose “communes” or just “commies”.
