Pretty much the same vibe around here too.

I like to imagine I am a Troy or a Jeff or even a Shirley, but I'm really just a Leonard.

Instead of "sub" , I propose "dom".

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 74 points 2 weeks ago

Please like and domscribe

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 25 points 2 weeks ago

As the singular authority on nicknames for communities, I'll allow it.

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

As I have been calling them sublemmys because it amuses me, the change to domlemmys should be an easy one.

Eh, I don't know that this is something we need to gatekeep about to be honest. "Comms" doesn't really roll off the tongue so if people want to keep saying "subs" I'm not going to correct them, it's not like anyone would misconstrue what they mean. Plus we can't even settle for a name amongst ourselves with Mbin keeping on referring to them as "magazines".

Sub is fine to me in both contexts. sub(scriptions) or sub(forums) but "sublemmy" or variation just feel forced to me

[–] fujiwood@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

What if we refer to them as cums?

I think that's phonetically correct.

Listen, "comms" is a terrible name for this concept. I'm calling them subs until something better comes along.

[–] Poem_for_your_sprog@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (3 children)

I'm calling them cums

And you're a cummer

I’m ok with subs because you subscribe to communities, but yeah I have had to unlearn some habits from reddit

[–] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 24 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Using "lemmings" is arguably more wrong - there are plenty of people on the fediverse who are not using lemmy.

Hey, I'm on a *Bin instance. I'll call them "magazines" and you'll like it.

[–] paultimate14@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

Why not a Binstance?

Subs is fine by me, but /r is not.

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 16 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I just hate when anyone uses a name that signifies they use some site - lemmings, imgurians, redditors, whatever. I am no more a lemming than I am a reader for reading books or an eater for having dinner.

I know it's a joke but there are probably users who get genuinely angry and unleash all kinds of undeserved abuse when they see this. Old habits are hard to break, so let's be human.

To be fair, most of us have been "that lemming" at one point or another.

[–] match@pawb.social 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

When someone refers to a community as a 'comm', they're just trying to make 'fetch' happen.

If you hit me up on 'comms', I'm gonna need a radio; that's what the word means, if you've been alive any time in the last 100 years.

Genuine question as a former Redditer what are they called here on Lemmy?

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Communities. Which has no convenient abbreviation.
