A group of lemmings is called a "slice".

If we're not going for community I'd vote for this.

A sublemmy?

Sublems?

I like slice.

I upvote "sublems" or "sublemmies".

Lemmings... Yup. I like that.

I like the idea of a Slice!

Lem

plural: Lems

Haha, Lemmunity was my first thought.

(also, my first comment here!)

A burrow.

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. 😂

Slice!

I saw Lemmyverse somewhere and I kind of dig it

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.

Lemming

Honestly, I think the answer is obvious … same as it was before … “Sub”.

Especially as kbin uses “magazine” for its communities, which means we need a short hand that is not specific. “Sub” captures the idea perfectly well and obviously carries over the Reddit analogy.

My vote would be keep “Community” as the long form name, as it’s a good description of what it is and for. Then short form “sub” because in essence it’s 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.

I personally use "com" and hope it catches on.
