Lemmy communities need a distinct one word name for communities like how reddit has "subreddits"

Part of the latest migration wave. Something I realized when looking for communities on google is that “lemmy community” is super clumsy.

This has been discussed before, so I’ll just copy my response from there:

The term “community” more or less settled, but if you are looking for something more distinct, there is an idea to call ourselves lemmings and the communities /c/liffs that we jump on. Alternatively we could call ourselves lemmons and the communities /c/itrusses.

I am all in for calling communities /c/itrusses. I’m sold!

Showerthoughts

Create post

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct
