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.)

This has been used for "redditor" by now btw.

same thing....

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 ๐Ÿ˜

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.

Sublemmy? Sublem?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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 :-)

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.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

People always referred to subreddits as a sub or community anyway. Easy.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Ok, so cum for short then?

Lmao, everything sounds like LeBron naming memes or whatever it's called. ๐Ÿ˜‚

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

This reminds me of the good ol memes with "le me":

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Rage comics were the golden age of memes, to be honest.
