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.)
You must log in or register to comment.
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.

Only on lemmygrad
Definitely should be community. And I was hoping we could all leave the 3rd grade humor behind on reddit
I’m afraid to inform you that you are on the Internet
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
People always referred to subreddits as a sub or community anyway. Easy.
Ok, so cum for short then?
cunts
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…
I like slice.
Lem
plural: Lems
Community is fine, please, no cutesy nicknames.
A sublemmy?
A group of lemmings is called a “slice”.
If we’re not going for community I’d vote for this.
I like it.
I like slice! A slice of life… A slice of the lemmingverse 😁
Slice!
Hexbear uses “comm”
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.
I like the idea of a Slice!
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 :-)
Haha, Lemmunity was my first thought.
(also, my first comment here!)
Mlems
…No, hear me out. If we’re lemmings, therefore lems, a community is many lems. So mlems. Also it’s catchy.
Edit: Well fuck. Obviously not an ios user -.-
That’s actually what the iOS app is called! Mlem
Holy cannoli, someone should make an app named that!
/s
Omfg I’m so sorry I saw this right after I posted my comment
Lemco
I liked your wifes suggestion of Sublemmit, but I would compact it more and perhaps call it a Sublem? Much quicker to type out.
