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.)

    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 subreddits are called Subreddits and have the format /r/subreddit_name.

      Also, community is in my opinion

      • too long to type out for something we will be using very often
      • the word already has a meaning

      It might be better to simply use another dedicated word

        I understand, but theyre called subreddits by reddit. Lemmy calls them communities all over the instances. If the users suddenly start calling them something else it would get confusing

        i don’t think you know the meaning behind that word and i don’t want to be the one that tells you…
