I like slice! A slice of life... A slice of the lemmingverse π
I like it.
A sublemmy?
Sublems?
I like slice.
I upvote "sublems" or "sublemmies".
Lemmings... Yup. I like that.
Lemmings should refer to the users
Agreed.
I like the idea of a Slice!
Lem
plural: Lems
Haha, Lemmunity was my first thought.
(also, my first comment here!)
Sublemmy? Sublem?
If Subreddit -> Sub...
Then Community -> Commune ?
Seems apt given the developer's political leanings. But it wouldn't be as inviting to neutral users, so 'sub' seems to be fine to me.
Lmao, everything sounds like LeBron naming memes or whatever it's called. π
This reminds me of the good ol memes with "le me":
Rage comics were the golden age of memes, to be honest.
Slice!
I saw Lemmyverse somewhere and I kind of dig it
Down the lemming hole we go...
Lemuria?!?!
Community is fine, please, no cutesy nicknames.
Hexbear uses "comm"
Good question. Similarly I was talking with someone the other day about what a user should be called (Lemming?) and what the act of using Lemmy might be called (also lemming!)
I like Lemmunity :-)
Mlems
...No, hear me out. If we're lemmings, therefore lems, a community is many lems. So mlems. Also it's catchy.
Holy cannoli, someone should make an app named that!

Omfg I'm so sorry I saw this right after I posted my comment
Lemming
Honestly, I think the answer is obvious β¦ same as it was before β¦ βSubβ.
Especially as kbin uses βmagazineβ for its communities, which means we need a short hand that is not specific. βSubβ captures the idea perfectly well and obviously carries over the Reddit analogy.
My vote would be keep βCommunityβ as the long form name, as itβs a good description of what it is and for. Then short form βsubβ because in essence itβs a subset of the total community.
Summy?
Blink three times if you're contractually obliged to prefer her suggestion/preferring it under duress.
I'd send help but my wife is home.

Personally I prefer Community, it is nicely neutral and conveys the correct message I think. If people think that's too broad, then "sub" is a solid short option.
