So subreddit=subs as communities=comms? I'm not typing "communities" all the time lmao.
yeah, over on hexbear comms is the usual parlance anyway. the wider lemmy population with the new reddit people might change that though
Lemmywinks? South park reference https://southpark.fandom.com/wiki/Lemmiwinks
Lemmywings? Like different wings of an overall government of lemmys?
and more importantly, what are lemmy users called? for reddit we have redditors, for lemmy.. lemminors?!
This is all very confusing to me
I think part of why it's confusing is that we don't have defined names for these things. This is so early in a social media "product" life that there isn't a common understanding. You're now part of making those names. It's a bit exciting but mostly confusing while everyone uses their own terms to mean the same fundamental things. Embrace the chaos!
Personally, I think "forum" works.
Sublemmies?
I like the idea to put lemmie in every word it is like with batman. Users should be called Lemmiathans.
I saw someone below mention that hexbear calls them comms with 2 m's. That sounds like the best nickname.
My brain will never not read that as "communications," I'm gonna think everyone here is real serious about HAM radio lol.
forum works, board also works. Instances are new to me and interesting.
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.
