What do we call communities in Lemmy?
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.
I usually will say or type "community".
A /c/ommunity
Read your question back. What did YOU call them? Yeah, that's what they're called.
For clarification, it's communities, not sublemmies.
The "official" word is "community", which you can see in various parts of the UI.
The answer is in the title. Thank you.
We call them "communities", though I've been saying "munis" for short.
Kbin and Kbin call them "magazines".
Kbin and Kbin
This sounds like a lawfirm name you'd see advertised on TV.
"Did your post get unjustly deleted? Unfair moderator actions? Admins getting you down? Call Kbin and Kbin for a free consultation TODAY!"
Mbin got autocowronged, haha

Moonies
I just discovered my neighbor is a moonie, and proudly described himself as such.
I was surprised as I thought it was a derogatory term for them.
though I've been saying "munis" for short.
“comms” is my go-to.
Apparently, in the underlying ActivityPub protocol, they're called "groups".
Usenet bridge when, smart people? (The cost of doing it properly might well be prohibitive though.)
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."
I like this idea.
Dens is good
They are called communities or coms for short on Lemmy, and they're magazines or mags on Mbin/Kbin.
You 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.
Community seems to be the de facto name but I really don't like that. We need to agree on something else.
Burrows, since they're what lemmings live in.
Coms
Reddit wants you to call them communities too, but most people still call them subreddits or subs.
I 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.
a sub
lemmy community
Honestly 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.
Sublemmy. Plural sublemmies.
I vote we call them lems.
I'd bet that 'lemmings' wouldn't work.
