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.
I like slice! A slice of life… A slice of the lemmingverse 😁
I like it.
Sublems?
I got 99 sublems but u/spez ain’t one
Haha, Lemmunity was my first thought.
(also, my first comment here!)
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
But subreddits are called Subreddits and have the format /r/subreddit_name.
Also, community is in my opinion
- too long to type out for something we will be using very often
- the word already has a meaning
It might be better to simply use another dedicated word
People always referred to subreddits as a sub or community anyway. Easy.
Ok, so cum for short then?
cunts
Community => Cums
Lemmings.
This has been used for “redditor” by now btw.
same thing…
I upvote “sublems” or “sublemmies”.
Lemmings… Yup. I like that.
Lemmings should refer to the users
Lemco
Hexbear uses “comm”
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.
PCommunity is fine, please, no cutesy nicknames.
A sublemmy?
I like the idea of a Slice!
Sublemmy? Sublem?
Lemming
Commy
(Yea, this isn’t going to go well with the
AmmysAmericans)
