Part of the latest migration wave. Something I realized when looking for communities on google is that “lemmy community” is super clumsy.

    They already have a name, straight from the documentation: “communities”. You can call something a “community” and everyone knows exactly what you mean. Call it something contrived like a “sublemmy” and you have to explain it every time.

      A non-generic name would probably help with search results though, seeing as you have to type Lemmy communities for Google to understand that’s the kind of results you want.

      I disagree, I feel the opposite. If I google, say, “x hometown community”, I’m going to get literally everything about my home town. “x hometown sublemmy’s(or whatever)” on the otherhand, would be fine tuned to show me lemmy communities about my hometown.
