I've seen "Lemmies", I've also seen "sublemmies" which brings "subs" back on the table imo. Alternatives are /c/s, commus, com's, etc.

    I guess "subs" isn't exactly a reddit specific term. I don't even know if it started there tbh.

    I've just realised there's nothing wrong with taking some of the language they used, we are after all following the basic link aggregator format.

    I like communities and sublemmies.

    Coms/commus sounds forced and unnecessary, doubt it’ll catch on.

    As for Lemmies, I think that should be a synonym for instances/servers. So, for example, the biggest Lemmy with the most sublemmies would be lemmy.world.

    And of course, the users are lemmings.

    @Obi /c/s is not long (albeit a bit complicated to write, on phone at least) and it could easily be expanded verbally, so you know that /c/s = communities.

    On Friendica, everything that is not a person or a page is displayed as a group. As a Facebook alternative, it does make sense, but for you in the Lemmy world I imagine it would sound a bit bland. 😁
