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.)

Haha, Lemmunity was my first thought.
(also, my first comment here!)
A group of lemmings is called a “slice”.
If we’re not going for community I’d vote for this.
Sublems?
Lemmings.
This has been used for “redditor” by now btw.
same thing…
A sublemmy?
I upvote “sublems” or “sublemmies”.
Lemmings… Yup. I like that.
Lemmings should refer to the users
Sublemmy? Sublem?
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.
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 -.-
That’s actually what the iOS app is called! Mlem
Holy cannoli, someone should make an app named that!
/s
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.
Hexbear uses “comm”
Lemurs? Lemmings?
Lemco
Lem
plural: Lems
