What do we call the equivalent of a subreddit?

Sublemmy doesn’t quite roll off of the tongue as nicely.

    You just answered your own question in the title, you call them communities. It’s what they are called by the Lemmy-UI software, and also why they have the /c/ prefix in their URLs.

    I’d bet that ‘lemmings’ wouldn’t work.

    Communities - they’re abbreviated to /c/ and that seems a pretty consistent term.

    I usually will say or type “community”.

    Read your question back. What did YOU call them? Yeah, that’s what they’re called.

      For clarification, it’s communities, not sublemmies.

    The “official” word is “community”, which you can see in various parts of the UI.

    I’ve always thought we should call then “dens” (in honor of lemmings) or something like “gigs” or “venues” (in honor of Lemmy), but I stick with “communities.

    We call them “communities”, though I’ve been saying “munis” for short.

    Kbin and Kbin call them “magazines”.

    Community or if we’re just spitballin’ here, it could be Sublemmit

    Community seems to be the de facto name but I really don’t like that. We need to agree on something else.

    Honestly I think we can just call them “subs” like we did on Reddit. “Sublemmy” sounds clunky but sub still works and we all know what it means.

    I usually call them boards when I can’t remember the name “community”. There are lots of kinds of community. An instance might well be a community if you are browsing local. Board is shorter and my brain wants to use that word anyway.
