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 sublemmy?
I like slice.
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.
Lem
plural: Lems
PCommunity is fine, please, no cutesy nicknames.
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.
Hexbear uses “comm”
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.
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
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”.
i don’t think you know the meaning behind that word and i don’t want to be the one that tells you…
People always referred to subreddits as a sub or community anyway. Easy.
Ok, so cum for short then?
cunts
Yep. And can easily be shortened to com or comms.
Communities -> commies
Haha, Lemmunity was my first thought.
(also, my first comment here!)
Summy?
Lemco
Sublemmy? Sublem?
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 :-)
Sublems?
