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.)

I kind of wish the term from Kbin would catch on, Magazines.

Blink three times if you're contractually obliged to prefer her suggestion/preferring it under duress.

I'd send help but my wife is home.

Seconding "Sublem"

[–] maegul@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Honestly, I think the answer is obvious … same as it was before … β€œSub”.

Especially as kbin uses β€œmagazine” for its communities, which means we need a short hand that is not specific. β€œSub” captures the idea perfectly well and obviously carries over the Reddit analogy.

My vote would be keep β€œCommunity” as the long form name, as it’s a good description of what it is and for. Then short form β€œsub” because in essence it’s a subset of the total community.

Lmao, everything sounds like LeBron naming memes or whatever it's called. πŸ˜‚

[–] Yodadidas@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

This reminds me of the good ol memes with "le me":

I personally use "com" and hope it catches on.

[–] Puls3@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Com feels like company or .com which also stands for company. Doesn't feel right at all.
