What do we call communities in Lemmy?
What do we call the equivalent of a subreddit?
Sublemmy doesn't quite roll off of the tongue as nicely.
Communities - they're abbreviated to /c/ and that seems a pretty consistent term.

The "official" word is "community", which you can see in various parts of the UI.

I was surprised as I thought it was a derogatory term for them.

“comms” is my go-to.

I've always thought we should call then "dens" (in honor of lemmings) or something like "gigs" or "venues" (in honor of Lemmy), but I stick with "communities."

They are called communities or coms for short on Lemmy, and they're magazines or mags on Mbin/Kbin.
11 0 ReplyYou just answered your own question in the title, you call them communities. It's what they are called by the Lemmy-UI software, and also why they have the /c/ prefix in their URLs.
11 0 ReplyCommunity seems to be the de facto name but I really don't like that. We need to agree on something else.

6 0 ReplyReddit wants you to call them communities too, but most people still call them subreddits or subs.
5 0 ReplyI usually call them boards when I can't remember the name "community". There are lots of kinds of community. An instance might well be a community if you are browsing local. Board is shorter and my brain wants to use that word anyway.

3 0 ReplyHonestly I think we can just call them "subs" like we did on Reddit. "Sublemmy" sounds clunky but sub still works and we all know what it means.
3 0 ReplyI'd bet that 'lemmings' wouldn't work.
2 0 ReplyI vote we call them lems.
