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.)
Community is fine, please, no cutesy nicknames.
A sublemmy?
Why not just community? It’s already called a community everywhere on the instances and its /c/ in the url. Imo it should start with a C no matter what
Definitely should be community. And I was hoping we could all leave the 3rd grade humor behind on reddit
But third grade is where my humor peaked!
Yep. And can easily be shortened to com or comms.
Communities -> commies
People always referred to subreddits as a sub or community anyway. Easy.
Ok, so cum for short then?
cunts
I like slice.
Slice!
Hexbear uses “comm”
A group of lemmings is called a “slice”.
If we’re not going for community I’d vote for this.
Good question. Similarly I was talking with someone the other day about what a user should be called (Lemming?) and what the act of using Lemmy might be called (also lemming!)
I like Lemmunity :-)
Haha, Lemmunity was my first thought.
(also, my first comment here!)
Sublems?
Lemmurians
no
I see you point. But … Why?
I liked your wifes suggestion of Sublemmit, but I would compact it more and perhaps call it a Sublem? Much quicker to type out.
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
Omfg I’m so sorry I saw this right after I posted my comment
I upvote “sublems” or “sublemmies”.
Lemmings… Yup. I like that.
Lemmings should refer to the users
Agreed.
I like the idea of a Slice!
