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 😁
A sublemmy?
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
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
People always referred to subreddits as a sub or community anyway. Easy.
Ok, so cum for short then?
cunts
Community => Cums
Yep. And can easily be shortened to com or comms.
Communities -> commies
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!
Sublemmy? Sublem?
I might start using sublem!
Hexbear uses “comm”
I like slice.
zesty!
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 :-)
I upvote “sublems” or “sublemmies”.
Lemmings… Yup. I like that.
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 -.-
Summy?
Lemco
Going with c/ how about “circle”
And so we come back to Google+
Lmao oops I didn’t even realize it was a Google+ thing. I kinda forgot Google+ was a thing, tbh.
As did almost everyone else.
Lemmings.
This has been used for “redditor” by now btw.
same thing…
Honestly, I think the answer is obvious … same as it was before … “Sub”.
Especially as kbin uses “magazine” for its communities, which means we need a short hand that is not specific. “Sub” captures the idea perfectly well and obviously carries over the Reddit analogy.
My vote would be keep “Community” as the long form name, as it’s a good description of what it is and for. Then short form “sub” because in essence it’s a subset of the total community.
Sublemmies :)
Haha, Lemmunity was my first thought.
(also, my first comment here!)
