MODERATORS
 

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 @[email protected] for the comment!

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/

I must leave my mark on history or the sands of time will forget me!
