Coming from Reddit, the term subreddit was easy. Is there already a short name for Lemmy Communities?
Lemmity?
Lemmunity?
Sublemmit? (My wife's suggestion, now my current favorite.)
Is there a short name for "Lemmy Community"?

People always referred to subreddits as a sub or community anyway. Easy.
I laughed too hard at this
Community => Cums
But subreddits are called Subreddits and have the format /r/subreddit_name.
Also, community is in my opinion
It might be better to simply use another dedicated word
i don't think you know the meaning behind that word and i don't want to be the one that tells you...
Definitely should be community. And I was hoping we could all leave the 3rd grade humor behind on reddit
Hmm... short and sweet, with a "tip of the hat" to our old reddit world. This might catch on.
The adjective being: "subleminal"
Fun to say, but I'm not sure how I'd use that in a sentance.
A burrow.
@PotjiePig @sepiroth154 So would that make the homepages their Dens?
Haha, Lemmunity was my first thought.
(also, my first comment here!)
I upvote "sublems" or "sublemmies".
Lemmings... Yup. I like that.
Lemmings should refer to the users
I might start using sublem!
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 :-)
Is this the first great flamewar of the Lemmy era? Lemmunity or DEATH, say I! ;-)
I like the idea of a Slice!
Mlems
...No, hear me out. If we're lemmings, therefore lems, a community is many lems. So mlems. Also it's catchy.
Edit: Well fuck. Obviously not an ios user -.-
Holy cannoli, someone should make an app named that!
/s
Omfg I'm so sorry I saw this right after I posted my comment
That's actually what the iOS app is called! Mlem
Going with c/ how about "circle"
Lmao oops I didn't even realize it was a Google+ thing. I kinda forgot Google+ was a thing, tbh.
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.
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.
I saw someone use this as "redditor" instead of "subreddit"
I thought LemCom.
Yuck, but now I thought of RomCom lol.
Lmao, everything sounds like LeBron naming memes or whatever it's called. 😂
Rage comics were the golden age of memes, to be honest.
This may be a dumb question: but how do I zoom in on this pic?
"Lethargic"
Haha r/NBA memes are about to cross over to Lemmy even before the NBA Lemmy community starts!
I liked your wifes suggestion of Sublemmit, but I would compact it more and perhaps call it a Sublem? Much quicker to type out.
I saw Lemmyverse somewhere and I kind of dig it
Down the lemming hole we go...
Lemuria?!?!
rip cummybot /s
Seconding "Sublem"
Community is fine, please, no cutesy nicknames.
Lemmcomm?
