What should individual communities on Lemmy be called?
Reddit has subreddits. What does Lemmy go with?
My personal vote is for lemmings!
Edit: I am personally leaning towards Sublemmy now. It retains the context of being a forum under the general sphere of Lemmy and the connection to Reddit lets people know immediately what Lemmy is about. Thanks to @[email protected] for the comment!
You're viewing a single thread.
Sublemmy. I know it's uninspired, but we might as well use terminology that people are familiar with. "Community" sounds too vague IMO, it's better to choose a made up word that doesn't have a specific dictionary definition.
This one has my vote
Reddit no longer refers to subreddits as subreddits officially, so I say it's free for the taking.
Wait really? What are they called?
What term are they using?
Ironically, they've been calling them Communities officially since around when New Reddit launched.
You make a good point.
And yeah, the entire reason I posted this is because communities is just generic. Having a name people connect to the service is good for awareness.
