Lemmy calls them "communities" but since Lemmy federates over ActivityPub which can have lots of different implementations and Lemmy can speak to them, they can have different names. For example there is kbin which calls them "magazines", another implementation might call them something else.
The official activitypub term is "group", but yes we just call them communities here. That's why its also /c/
I think the general ActivityPub name is "groups".
