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.
I like slice! A slice of life… A slice of the lemmingverse 😁
I like it.
I like slice.
zesty!
I like the idea of a Slice!
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 sublemmy?
Slice!
I upvote “sublems” or “sublemmies”.
Lemmings… Yup. I like that.
Lemmings should refer to the users
Agreed.

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

Definitely should be community. And I was hoping we could all leave the 3rd grade humor behind on reddit

How about “cub”.
Like, “we need a cub for this”.
Or pups, since a baby lemming is called a pup?
i don’t think you know the meaning behind that word and i don’t want to be the one that tells you…
What’s it mean?
Yep. And can easily be shortened to com or comms.
Communities -> commies
People always referred to subreddits as a sub or community anyway. Easy.

I’d say cummies for the extra cringe factor.
cunts
Community => Cums
Blink three times if you’re contractually obliged to prefer her suggestion/preferring it under duress.
I’d send help but my wife is home.
Lemco
A burrow.
I’m officially calling communities burrows now. It’s done. And a crosspost can be a borrow.
@PotjiePig @sepiroth154 So would that make the homepages their Dens?
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 :)
Lem
plural: Lems
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.
Sublems?
I got 99 sublems but u/spez ain’t one
