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!
I thought lemmings was for lemmy users. My vote is “communities” 😅
Exactly.
Let’s not overcomplicate this. People trying to come up with a name for something that already has one. Lol.
That’s a very important point. Some of us probably still remember the learning curve when coming to lemmy. Everyone has heard how others complained about it, or would not join in the first place.
Creating ambiguous terms and multiple definitions for the same things is one unecessary way to make life harder for everyone.
More reasons:
- the documentation calls it community
- the unchangeable URL refers to it: /c/
Yeah but that sounds kinda bland. A good community needs some lore to dig through to make it more interesting!
Lemmings makes more sense to be the users
Lemmy says what they call them in the title bar, so they already have a name, communities. Seems projects tend to use their own nomenclature, Kbin calls them magazines.
There’s no official term for Lemmy users. Lemmings would be appropriate, though not particularly flattering.
I thought the users of Lemmy were called “Lemons” and the communities themselves were referred to as “Lemon Parties”
Isn’t everyone using these terms?
Sublemmy
