They are called "lemmy communities" or "communities"

"Sublemmies" is cringe and is some weird portmanteau with subreddit which is stupid because I don't know why people are still attached the idea of subreddits since this isn't reddit and "lemmings" which some users like to call lemmy users but I don't agree with that either and "lemmy users" sounds like a better term to use

So many people here are trying to emulate reddit when this isn't reddit, yes some features from reddit would be nice like a group collection of subreddits like multireddits did and post flairs but this still isn't reddit

A short name for communities would be groups. I like to call the users fedizens, as it is not specific to one software.

I like "group" actually. It's short and descriptive.

I mostly call them "cees", ex "The linux cee on .ml"

You're saying it out loud? Who in the world to?

Two gamers in one house! I might even get her to install Fedora on her next gaming PC. She's using me as proof of concept I think...

This is just how communities work: people will find names for things and other people are reproducing them if they like the term.
