Is there a short name for "Lemmy Community"?
Is there a short name for "Lemmy Community"?
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.)
Sublems?
40 3 ReplyHmm... short and sweet, with a "tip of the hat" to our old reddit world. This might catch on.

Fun to say, but I'm not sure how I'd use that in a sentance.

A group of lemmings is called a "slice".
If we're not going for community I'd vote for this.
36 0 ReplyI like slice! A slice of life... A slice of the lemmingverse 😁

32 1 ReplyI'm officially calling communities burrows now. It's done. And a crosspost can be a borrow.

Haha, Lemmunity was my first thought.
(also, my first comment here!)
31 2 ReplyI upvote "sublems" or "sublemmies".
Lemmings... Yup. I like that.

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 :-)

I like the idea of a Slice!
12 0 ReplyPersonally 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.

...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 -.-
11 2 ReplyHoly cannoli, someone should make an app named that!

**Lem ** plural: Lems
7 0 ReplyHonestly, 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.

I'd send help but my wife is home.
7 0 ReplyHexbear uses "comm"
6 0 ReplyYou need a single syllable alternative. "Sub" existed for Reddit, guessing "Lem" is the only option available here.
6 0 ReplyWhat about "com"
5 0 ReplyIn hindsight, I expect it'll just remain "sub". Neither "com" nor "lem" are good enough to not just re-use "sub".

I liked your wifes suggestion of Sublemmit, but I would compact it more and perhaps call it a Sublem? Much quicker to type out.
6 0 ReplyLmao, everything sounds like LeBron naming memes or whatever it's called. 😂
6 0 ReplyThis reminds me of the good ol memes with "le me":

Slice!
4 0 ReplyI personally use "com" and hope it catches on.
4 0 ReplyCom feels like company or .com which also stands for company. Doesn't feel right at all.
1 0 ReplyComm then. I've seen people using it in the wild.

I use comm. I feel like the extra M adds specificity but idk.

How about LeCo for Lemmy community?
3 0 ReplyCommunity is fine, please, no cutesy nicknames.
5 2 ReplyIf Subreddit -> Sub...
Then Community -> Commune ?Seems apt given the developer's political leanings. But it wouldn't be as inviting to neutral users, so 'sub' seems to be fine to me.
