Who else thinks we need a sub for that?

(sublemmy? Lemmy community? How is that called?)

I asked this question ages ago and it was pointed out that "sub" isn't a reddit specific term. It's been short for "subforum" since the first BBSes, so it's basically a ubiquitous internet term.

"Sub" works because everybody already knows what you mean and it's the word you intuitively reach for.

You can call them "communities" if you want, but it's longer and can't easily be shortened.

I just call them subs now.

I propose "commies"

Hexbear and lg will appreciate that.

"Subcom" sounds like a bad movie genre or a very niche porn fetish.

Subcom: noum (informal) a submissive comedy

That's just short for Subspace Communication.

how about "/c/" ?

[-] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

Heck yeah. It hearkens back to the days of Current Events vs. Random Insanity, and probably much earlier

I was calling them coms for a while. I think people mnew what I meant but it’s even more loaded.
