As a 10+ year Reddit user, I recently made the jump here to Lemmy and was hoping to re-join some of the old groups. Is there a running list somewhere of all the groups on here that started as subreddits?
What’s the right term for them, anyway? Group? Sublemmy? Community?
Check sub.rehab for a list. A few of them are official (the old Reddit mods are the new mods of those communities), while some are spin-offs (comms created for the same purpose as the original).
The site above is listing alts elsewhere, too - raddle.me, kbin.social, even Discord. Note that you can often access Kbin content from Lemmy and vice versa.
The right term is “community”. Personally I shorten it to “comm”, have seen other people doing it but it isn’t that common. I’d advise you to avoid “sub”, as plenty people call it out as “Reddit thing”.
Also, please keep in mind that this community is about Reddit, not Lemmy. You’ll probably get better answers in a comm about Lemmy itself, such as !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml
