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.
A sublemmy?
I like the idea of a Slice!
I like slice.
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
Definitely should be community. And I was hoping we could all leave the 3rd grade humor behind on reddit
Yep. And can easily be shortened to com or comms.
But subreddits are called Subreddits and have the format /r/subreddit_name.
Also, community is in my opinion
It might be better to simply use another dedicated word
I understand, but theyre called subreddits by reddit. Lemmy calls them communities all over the instances. If the users suddenly start calling them something else it would get confusing
People always referred to subreddits as a sub or community anyway. Easy.
Ok, so cum for short then?
cunts
If Subreddit -> Sub...
Then Community -> Commune ?
Seems apt given the developer's political leanings. But it wouldn't be as inviting to neutral users, so 'sub' seems to be fine to me.
Lem
plural: Lems
Hexbear uses "comm"
Community is fine, please, no cutesy nicknames.
Lmao, everything sounds like LeBron naming memes or whatever it's called. 😂
This reminds me of the good ol memes with "le me":
Rage comics were the golden age of memes, to be honest.
"Lethargic"
Haha r/NBA memes are about to cross over to Lemmy even before the NBA Lemmy community starts!
Sublems?
Good question. Similarly I was talking with someone the other day about what a user should be called (Lemming?) and what the act of using Lemmy might be called (also lemming!)
I like Lemmunity :-)
Slice!
A burrow.
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.
I upvote "sublems" or "sublemmies".
Lemmings... Yup. I like that.
Lemmings should refer to the users
Agreed.
Haha, Lemmunity was my first thought.
(also, my first comment here!)
Mlems
...No, hear me out. If we're lemmings, therefore lems, a community is many lems. So mlems. Also it's catchy.
Commy
(Yea, this isn't going to go well with the ~~Ammys~~ Americans)
I kinda like “Lemon”.
Summy?
Lemco
Sublemmy? Sublem?
Personally I prefer Community, it is nicely neutral and conveys the correct message I think. If people think that's too broad, then "sub" is a solid short option.
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.
I kind of wish the term from Kbin would catch on, Magazines.
I personally use "com" and hope it catches on.
I use comm. I feel like the extra M adds specificity but idk.
