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.)

People always referred to subreddits as a sub or community anyway. Easy.

I'd say cummies for the extra cringe factor.

Community => Cums
Thavron@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 3y
Yep. And can easily be shortened to com or comms.

But subreddits are called Subreddits and have the format /r/subreddit_name.
Also, community is in my opinion
It might be better to simply use another dedicated word
burgersc12@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 3y
jossbo@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 3y
How about "cub".
Like, "we need a cub for this".
TheOPtimal@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 3y
i don't think you know the meaning behind that word and i don't want to be the one that tells you...
jossbo@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 3y
Ah. Yes, I did not think of that 😅
But to be fair, 'sub' has another meaning as well.
pingveno@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 3y
Or pups, since a baby lemming is called a pup?
Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world · -2 pts · 3y
Definitely should be community. And I was hoping we could all leave the 3rd grade humor behind on reddit

Sublems?

lettruthout@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 3y
Hmm... short and sweet, with a "tip of the hat" to our old reddit world. This might catch on.
lettruthout@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y
The adjective being: "subleminal"
Fun to say, but I'm not sure how I'd use that in a sentance.
Kempeth@feddit.de · 36 pts · 3y
A group of lemmings is called a "slice".
If we're not going for community I'd vote for this.
taj@lemmy.ml · 6 pts · 3y
I like slice! A slice of life... A slice of the lemmingverse 😁
DrQuint@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 3y
I like it.
sepiroth154@feddit.nl · 31 pts · 3y
A burrow.
PotjiePig@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y
I'm officially calling communities burrows now. It's done. And a crosspost can be a borrow.
kosama@socel.net · 2 pts · 3y
@PotjiePig @sepiroth154 So would that make the homepages their Dens?
FlavorGrain@lemmy.world · 29 pts · 3y
Haha, Lemmunity was my first thought.
(also, my first comment here!)
Anarch157a@lemmy.world · 28 pts · 3y
I upvote "sublems" or "sublemmies".
Lemmings... Yup. I like that.
nieceandtows@lemmy.world · 37 pts · 3y
Lemmings should refer to the users
00Lemming@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 3y
Agreed.
meldrik@lemmy.wtf · 16 pts · 3y
Sublemmy? Sublem?
lettruthout@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y
I might start using sublem!
Puls3@lemmy.ml · 12 pts · 3y
I like slice.
qprimed@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 3y
zesty!
sanguinepar@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 3y
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 :-)
00Lemming@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
I have made my decision on the matter 😉
sanguinepar@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y
Is this the first great flamewar of the Lemmy era? Lemmunity or DEATH, say I! ;-)
FuryFaceofDoom@lemmy.ml · 12 pts · 3y
I like the idea of a Slice!
Ketram@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 3y
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.
RecaffeinatedDecaf@sopuli.xyz · 9 pts · 3y
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 -.-
gravalicious@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 3y
Holy cannoli, someone should make an app named that!

akvomelono@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y
Omfg I'm so sorry I saw this right after I posted my comment
akvomelono@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 3y
That's actually what the iOS app is called! Mlem
tesfabpel@lemmy.ml · 9 pts · 3y
A sublemmy?
misterundercoat@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 3y
Going with c/ how about "circle"
kadu@lemmy.world · 27 pts · 3y
And so we come back to Google+
misterundercoat@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 3y
Lmao oops I didn't even realize it was a Google+ thing. I kinda forgot Google+ was a thing, tbh.

Baby rodents are called a pup, can we call it a pup please?
maegul@lemmy.ml · 7 pts · 3y
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.

I thought LemCom.

Yuck, but now I thought of RomCom lol.
HerculeanTardigrade@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 3y
Lmao, everything sounds like LeBron naming memes or whatever it's called. 😂
Yodadidas@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y
This reminds me of the good ol memes with "le me":
ConditionOverload@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y
Rage comics were the golden age of memes, to be honest.
BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y
This may be a dumb question: but how do I zoom in on this pic?
minimar@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
On desktop I just use Imagus. Hovering over an image (or image link) displays it at the cursor in its full size. Unbelievably useful.
ConditionOverload@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
"Lethargic"
Haha r/NBA memes are about to cross over to Lemmy even before the NBA Lemmy community starts!
Sonemonkey@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 3y
Lemming
NorthWestWind@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
I saw someone use this as "redditor" instead of "subreddit"
promitheas@iusearchlinux.fyi · 6 pts · 3y
I liked your wifes suggestion of Sublemmit, but I would compact it more and perhaps call it a Sublem? Much quicker to type out.
trot@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 3y
Hexbear uses "comm"
Mjb@feddit.uk · 6 pts · 3y
You need a single syllable alternative. "Sub" existed for Reddit, guessing "Lem" is the only option available here.
WhoRoger@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y
What about "com"
Mjb@feddit.uk · 1 pts · 3y
In hindsight, I expect it'll just remain "sub". Neither "com" nor "lem" are good enough to not just re-use "sub".

Seconding "Sublem"
WhoRoger@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y
I personally use "com" and hope it catches on.
agertudici@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 3y
Puls3@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 3y
Com feels like company or .com which also stands for company. Doesn't feel right at all.
WhoRoger@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
Comm then. I've seen people using it in the wild.
Levii@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 3y
Slice!

Lemmcomm?
(edited to add an 'm')
pinwurm@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 3y
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.
