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 upvote “sublems” or “sublemmies”.
Lemmings… Yup. I like that.
Lemmings should refer to the users
Agreed.
I like slice.
A sublemmy?
Lemco
I thought LemCom.
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!
People always referred to subreddits as a sub or community anyway. Easy.
Ok, so cum for short then?
cunts
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
Yep. And can easily be shortened to com or comms.
Communities -> commies
Sublems?
I got 99 sublems but u/spez ain’t one
I like the idea of a Slice!
Community is fine, please, no cutesy nicknames.
Haha, Lemmunity was my first thought.
(also, my first comment here!)
Lem
plural: Lems
Slice!
Hexbear uses “comm”
Lemmiers
