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.
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.
I like slice.
A sublemmy?
Lem
plural: Lems
Slice!
Lemco
Haha, Lemmunity was my first thought.
(also, my first comment here!)
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.
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
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…
What’s it mean?
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!
I’m afraid to inform you that you are on the Internet
Yep. And can easily be shortened to com or comms.
Communities -> commies
People always referred to subreddits as a sub or community anyway. Easy.
Ok, so cum for short then?
cunts
I’d say cummies for the extra cringe factor.
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
Sublems?
I got 99 sublems but u/spez ain’t one
lemon
I upvote “sublems” or “sublemmies”.
Lemmings… Yup. I like that.
Lemmings should refer to the users
Agreed.
Community is fine, please, no cutesy nicknames.
Lemmings.
This has been used for “redditor” by now btw.
same thing…
