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…
I kind of wish the term from Kbin would catch on, Magazines.

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
Yep. And can easily be shortened to com or comms.
Definitely should be community. And I was hoping we could all leave the 3rd grade humor behind on reddit
But third grade is where my humor peaked!
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
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
Haha, Lemmunity was my first thought.
(also, my first comment here!)
I upvote “sublems” or “sublemmies”.
Lemmings… Yup. I like that.
Lemmings should refer to the users
Agreed.
Mlems
…No, hear me out. If we’re lemmings, therefore lems, a community is many lems. So mlems. Also it’s catchy.
Commy
(Yea, this isn’t going to go well with the
AmmysAmericans)How about commune? Short and sweet, and goes with the c/ in the url
cummy
…or not
Lemco
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?
I kinda like “Lemon”.
I personally use “com” and hope it catches on.

Com feels like company or .com which also stands for company. Doesn’t feel right at all.
Comm then. I’ve seen people using it in the wild.
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.
“Lethargic”
Haha r/NBA memes are about to cross over to Lemmy even before the NBA Lemmy community starts!
