2c. Communities.
You create and join communities.
Talking about a specific community - @music@sopuli, music community on sopuli
Lemmy as a whole/collective - lemmyverse
The official word is “community”. One thing I don’t like about it is that it is too generic to be reserved for that usage. Like it is hard not to confuse “a Lemmy community” (a sub) and “the Lemmy community” (the set of people exchanging over Lemmy). “Lemmunity” was proposed in another comment, I like that !
A lot of people use “sublemmy” or “sub”, but I don’t think it is a good idea to copy the Reddit terminology. Also, let us recall that “subreddit” means “subdirectory of reddit”, so maybe “subinstance” makes more sense.
In the ActivityPub language, it is a Group, maybe it would make sense to just call it a “group”. It would make things less confusing when posting a issue on another fedi software asking for more compatibility with Lemmy.
Note that Friendica calls a Group a “forum”, which also makes sense. I think Mastodon plans to call it a “group”.
Or “le mutiny” for added zest, in line with lemmy’s revolutionary tendencies, mirite?
Jokes aside, I like community.
Edit: If cross-instance same-named multireddits are ever to become a thing, I’d be okay with those being called sublemmies (y’know, like lemmy.ml/c/cheese+cheese@beehaw.org+cheese@sopuli.xyz, kind of thing, all under /f/cheese).

I say community and get mildly frustrated every time I see “sublemmy”.
sublemmy is funny though
Community is alot of syllables and letters to type out. could we come up with slang for it?
I say comm
commie would be pretty fitting
Cummy?
i propose: lemmunity
community is too common of a word and sublemmy doesn’t sound right
Or “le mutiny” for added zest, in line with lemmy’s revolutionary tendencies, mirite?

Lemutiny is a good inside joke
Either community or sublemmy. But I agree that community is generally better.
I just call it “community”. Simple.
Yep, community is good.
sublemmy
I guess you could just call it a sub. Reddit hasnt patented that word.
I’m using that, but it has other meanings too, like community.
