that’s brilliant actually for a mobile app name

[-] proxzima@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago

I like this one

[-] Venus@slrpnk.net 78 points 2 years ago

They're communities. And the different servers/sites are instances.

[-] SammichParade@vlemmy.net 38 points 2 years ago

Petition to name them SubLemmys

[-] communist@beehaw.org 40 points 2 years ago

I like communities, honestly, it sounds much less... y'know, reddity?

And also, it's much more intuitive.

Instances also need better names.

+1 for Communities, since that's what they are called in the official UI and documentation

Communities, which have a parent instance.

[-] open_world@lemmy.ml 61 points 2 years ago

I just thought they were called "communities". At least, that's what the Lemmy UI shows.

[-] Yadaran@feddit.de 48 points 2 years ago

I'll just call them sublemmys

[-] Senseibull@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 years ago

Lol I quite like it, at one point reddit was a foreign weird sounding word

Communities is the name used on my UI.

[-] humanplayer2@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 years ago

Mine, too. And it's fits the /c/... format.

On Lemmy, they are "communities".

On Kbin, they are "magazines". I am told that "magazine" is a pun in Polish (Kbin's maintainer is Polish).

[-] HeartyBeast@kbin.social 19 points 2 years ago

Having been here all of 30 minutes, referring to them “bins” might be a nice

[-] Syo@kbin.social 11 points 2 years ago

Did we just witness the birth of viral content in this bin?

If anything I think that'll be what us users end up calling ourselves.

[-] _thayer@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago

The use of 'comm' and 'comms' as short form for communities makes the most sense to me. Lemmy's url path already uses /c/ as the designation as well.

Like 'sub' and 'subs', they are one syllable, and are easy to say and spell.

[-] 42triangles@beehaw.org 13 points 2 years ago

If someone says "comms" I'm going to think "communications"

but I guess that also technically works ^^

[-] vox@sopuli.xyz 29 points 2 years ago

just call them communities (I also sometimes just call them topics because that's how they're called in my reddit clone pet project)

[-] qprimed@lemmy.ml 25 points 2 years ago

oh snap! you know Lemmy has hit the big time when its a topic of discussion between SOs!

[-] lvxferre@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago

I've been talking about it with a relative, because she really enjoys "popcorn" (i.e. drama).

officially, per protocol, it's Groups. but that sucks :)

[-] tebicat@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 years ago

isn't that an ActivityPub term, not a lemmy term? usually ActivityPub uses different terms than the servers that use it.

"lemmies" has a nice ring to it

I like communities. I believe that's the the /c/ stands for

I’ve seen “communities,” and my personal conceit is that “like” communities (communities with the same, similar, or synergistic subject matter) are “cohorts” so you don’t have to type “multi-communities”

Sometimes Iused "sublemmies" based on what a few others have done, but mostly I just use community or something similar.

Lemmunities (I pulled it out of my ass, take it or leave it)

Technically communities but I prefer the term sublemmy

@falcoignis On KBin, they're called "Magazines". Not quite sure if I like it. lol.

I've seen sub-lemmy being used which is cute, but has the obvious ties to Reddit. I guess we all get to work this out together!

[-] 10EXP@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 years ago

Fuck it, call them Lem. Memes is a Sub-Lemmy on Lemmy on the lemmy.nl Lem.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
