Part of the latest migration wave. Something I realized when looking for communities on google is that “lemmy community” is super clumsy.
Hmm, after a quick Google - I vote for Slice. That’s what you call a group of lemmings. A slice of lemmings.
Wish we could make slice catch on. Not only for the reason you mentioned, but it also implies that what you are looking at is a part of a whole. So communities are a slice of lemmy.
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.
Similar discussion happening over in general
Pretty sure “community” is the official name
Lemmies? Sublems? Underlems?
Communities don’t have the same ring to it, I agree.
Same, let’s just start using it and it’ll catch on.
What happens when multiple servers have the same sublem. Do I have to individually find and follow them all? Seems annoying.
