A group of lemmings is called a "slice".

If we're not going for community I'd vote for this.

Sublemmy? Sublem?

Haha, Lemmunity was my first thought.

(also, my first comment here!)

Sublems?

Lem

plural: Lems

I upvote "sublems" or "sublemmies".

Lemmings... Yup. I like that.

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.

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 :-)

Community is fine, please, no cutesy nicknames.

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.

Lmao, everything sounds like LeBron naming memes or whatever it's called. 😂

Lemmurians

Lemming

I personally use "com" and hope it catches on.

Summy?

I like the idea of a Slice!

I like slice.

A sublemmy?

Lemurs? Lemmings?

I kind of wish the term from Kbin would catch on, Magazines.

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.

lunatic

Going with c/ how about "circle"
