Fediverse memes

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

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".

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

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

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

I'm not calling them comms. find a better word if you don't want to hear me say subs

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

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

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.

i call them subs because they are full of submissives

But I can SUBScribe to them 😔.

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.

What do we call the? I say "Lemmy sub" lacking a better term.

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

Sub as in sublemmy
