Some Lemmy users refer to communities as sublems. In which case we can conclude that all posts and comments are subleminal messages.

Coming into an established venue and insisting everything change to be more like what you're used to is certainly A Choice.
I like to think most of it is people just genuinely not realising things already have a name, so as long as we continue to nip the "sublemmy" stuff in the bud it'll peter out. Saw a lot of the same stuff on Mastodon last year but it settled down pretty quick.
I don't disagree with you but, as someone who has recently jumped ship from Reddit, can you point to a glossary of terms to help us get our jargon down?
Edit: Formatting hard.
Honestly it's mainly just the sublemmy community thing, from what I've seen! Most other terms are the same, upvotes are still upvotes, subscribing is still subscribing, crossposting is still crossposting etc. Even cake day is the same! Shitposting is now beanposting, although we'll see if that one sticks.
Lemmy users are Lemmings. I'm not 100% sure what Kbin users have decided on but the one I've seen most in use is Kbinauts.
I keep seeing people refer to a "front page" which isn't really a thing that exists since it's completely different depending on which instance you're on, which feed you're looking at and how you sort it, but I have no idea what that was on Reddit either since I always stuck to my subscriptions.
I've also seen a couple people in support threads being confused between "instance" (the site an account or community is hosted on ie vlemmy.net) and "community", but that's not been too widespread.

"front page" is just your "subscribed" feed here.
The other difference here is that we don't have an "/r/all" (meaning everything on reddit), there is the "local" feed, that would be, "all" communities of the specific instance.
And there is an "All" feed, but it isn't all the communities on every instance, there you only see all the communities any user of your instance is subscribed to.
Actually really useful. Thank you!
Well the flip coin is the same. New users coming to a place and using language they feel is natural, and then judging them for not using your own specific terminology is also "A Choice" It's not up to anyone what other people call things.
That makes it sound like Kanye is involved
Instances work for me, as an engineer that verbage comes naturally
That's different, though, as it refers to the server hosting the communities.
I don't agree with you, community is more memorable and we don't have to be reddit
I'm going to nip the bud early for any attempt calling it something other than community because lemmy is not reddit so people need to stop trying to make it like reddit with the terminology
Comi and magz sound really awful and I can see that you're basing it of the reddit term "subreddit"
Don't try and force redditness (if that even is a word) on lemmy because lemmy is unique in its own way, no one should force it to be like reddit
Four syllables is too many.
community is the name of lemmy communities and I'm going to hard disagree with anyone who says otherwise because those people are just trying to find some cool new word similar to subreddit because they don't realise that lemmy is unique from reddit, it's not just a replacement for reddit
Orrrrr... maybe I just think it's too many syllables.
Don't kid yourself. Lemmy is 100% a Reddit clone. It was literally made as a replacement for Reddit.
You're just being rude at this point, lemmy is not a Clone of reddit
It is something that can replace reddit but your kidding yourself if you think it's a Clone
Your kind of behaviour is the stuff I'd would've hoped be left on reddit
Just stop woth the rudeness and trying to copy reddit
i’m not high enough for this
This is proof the web is healing.
Shorter than community.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Those are the users that cannot seem to grasp that Lemmy is NOT Reddit and that Lemmy wasn't created 2 weeks ago. "Sublem" and "Sublemmy" are so cringy it hurts. Please just call them communities.
