Reddit has subreddits. What does Lemmy go with?

My personal vote is for lemmings!

Edit: I am personally leaning towards Sublemmy now. It retains the context of being a forum under the general sphere of Lemmy and the connection to Reddit lets people know immediately what Lemmy is about. Thanks to @BurningnnTree@lemmy.one for the comment!

Some called it “sub” or “subs” for short on reddit. Why not just keep the same one without the “reddit” word. Lemmy sub -> sub. No need to invent some random words for every instance.

That works okay as a shortcut since many are used to the term already, plus to get a regular feed you have to subscribe. Like any language, what gets used the most after a while will become the normal term.
