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
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!
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
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…
People always referred to subreddits as a sub or community anyway. Easy.
Ok, so cum for short then?
cunts
I laughed too hard at this
Community => Cums
A sublemmy?
Lem
plural: Lems
Hexbear uses “comm”
Lemmings.
This has been used for “redditor” by now btw.
same thing…
Community is fine, please, no cutesy nicknames.
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.

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 😁
Commy
(Yea, this isn’t going to go well with the
AmmysAmericans)Lemlet
Lemco
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 slice.
I personally use “com” and hope it catches on.
I use comm. I feel like the extra M adds specificity but idk.
Com feels like company or .com which also stands for company. Doesn’t feel right at all.
Comm then. I’ve seen people using it in the wild.
