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.
I like slice.
I like the idea of a Slice!
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
Yep. And can easily be shortened to com or comms.
Communities -> commies
Only on lemmygrad
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
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!
People always referred to subreddits as a sub or community anyway. Easy.
Ok, so cum for short then?
cunts
Community => Cums
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…
Or pups, since a baby lemming is called a pup?
Lem
plural: Lems
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.
Sublems?
I got 99 sublems but u/spez ain’t one
A burrow.
Slice!
Sublemmy? Sublem?
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.
Hexbear uses “comm”
Mlems
…No, hear me out. If we’re lemmings, therefore lems, a community is many lems. So mlems. Also it’s catchy.
That’s actually what the iOS app is called! Mlem
Holy cannoli, someone should make an app named that!

Omfg I’m so sorry I saw this right after I posted my comment
Community is fine, please, no cutesy nicknames.
