A group of lemmings is called a "slice".
If we're not going for community I'd vote for this.
Community is fine, please, no cutesy nicknames.
Hexbear uses "comm"
Why not just community? It's already called a community everywhere on the instances and its /c/ in the url. Imo it should start with a C no matter what
Yep. And can easily be shortened to com or comms.
Definitely should be community. And I was hoping we could all leave the 3rd grade humor behind on reddit
But third grade is where my humor peaked!
People always referred to subreddits as a sub or community anyway. Easy.
Ok, so cum for short then?
cunts
A sublemmy?
Slice!
Lemmurians
no
I see you point. But .. Why?
I liked your wifes suggestion of Sublemmit, but I would compact it more and perhaps call it a Sublem? Much quicker to type out.
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
I upvote "sublems" or "sublemmies".
Lemmings... Yup. I like that.
Lemmings should refer to the users
Agreed.
I like the idea of a Slice!
Haha, Lemmunity was my first thought.
(also, my first comment here!)
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 :-)
Sublems?
Sublemmy? Sublem?
Personally I prefer Community, it is nicely neutral and conveys the correct message I think. If people think that's too broad, then "sub" is a solid short option.
Lemmings.
This has been used for "redditor" by now btw.
same thing....
If Subreddit -> Sub...
Then Community -> Commune ?
Seems apt given the developer's political leanings. But it wouldn't be as inviting to neutral users, so 'sub' seems to be fine to me.
Honestly, I think the answer is obvious β¦ same as it was before β¦ βSubβ.
Especially as kbin uses βmagazineβ for its communities, which means we need a short hand that is not specific. βSubβ captures the idea perfectly well and obviously carries over the Reddit analogy.
My vote would be keep βCommunityβ as the long form name, as itβs a good description of what it is and for. Then short form βsubβ because in essence itβs a subset of the total community.
I saw Lemmyverse somewhere and I kind of dig it
Down the lemming hole we go...
Lemuria?!?!
Going with c/ how about "circle"
And so we come back to Google+
Lmao oops I didn't even realize it was a Google+ thing. I kinda forgot Google+ was a thing, tbh.
Lmao, everything sounds like LeBron naming memes or whatever it's called. π
This reminds me of the good ol memes with "le me":
Rage comics were the golden age of memes, to be honest.
