Reddit has subreddits. What does Lemmy go with?

My personal vote is for lemmings!

Edit: I am personally leaning towards Sublemmy now. It retains the context of being a forum under the general sphere of Lemmy and the connection to Reddit lets people know immediately what Lemmy is about. Thanks to @BurningnnTree@lemmy.one for the comment!

You do have a point. And while I was arguing all for accessibility, I feel an argument for 'accessibility' can also be made the other way. When people have an easier time connecting with an idea emotionally, it can make it easier for them to learn about it. So yeah, I guess it isn't as obvious as I tried to make it look. I have no conclusion yet.
