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.)

A group of lemmings is called a “slice”.
If we’re not going for community I’d vote for this.
Lems
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
People always referred to subreddits as a sub or community anyway. Easy.
Ok, so cum for short then?
How about “cub”.
Like, “we need a cub for this”.
i don’t think you know the meaning behind that word and i don’t want to be the one that tells you…
Definitely should be community. And I was hoping we could all leave the 3rd grade humor behind on reddit
Summy?
A burrow.
Lemco
A sublemmy?
Hexbear uses “comm”
I like the idea of a Slice!
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.
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.
Community is fine, please, no cutesy nicknames.
Haha, Lemmunity was my first thought.
(also, my first comment here!)
Lemmings.
This has been used for “redditor” by now btw.
same thing…
I personally use “com” and hope it catches on.
Com feels like company or .com which also stands for company. Doesn’t feel right at all.
Comm then. I’ve seen people using it in the wild.
