What do we call the equivalent of a subreddit?
Sublemmy doesn’t quite roll off of the tongue as nicely.
Reddit wants you to call them communities too, but most people still call them subreddits or subs.
Communities - they’re abbreviated to /c/ and that seems a pretty consistent term.
I usually will say or type “community”.
Woah I never speak of lemmy
A /c/ommunity
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.
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.
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.)
though I’ve been saying “munis” for short.
“comms” is my go-to.
I vote we call them lems.
Read your question back. What did YOU call them? Yeah, that’s what they’re called.
For clarification, it’s communities, not sublemmies.
lemmy community
Coms
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.”
Dens is good
I like this idea.
a sub
Community or if we’re just spitballin’ here, it could be Sublemmit
LOL
Sublemmy. Plural sublemmies.
Community seems to be the de facto name but I really don’t like that. We need to agree on something else.
