      Communities has too many sillaby, may be comm or comi is better…
      I actually like kbin term, they use term Magazine for community. It can easily shortened as Magz.

        I don’t agree with you, community is more memorable and we don’t have to be reddit

        I’m going to nip the bud early for any attempt calling it something other than community because lemmy is not reddit so people need to stop trying to make it like reddit with the terminology

        Comi and magz sound really awful and I can see that you’re basing it of the reddit term “subreddit”

        Don’t try and force redditness (if that even is a word) on lemmy because lemmy is unique in its own way, no one should force it to be like reddit

        community is the name of lemmy communities and I’m going to hard disagree with anyone who says otherwise because those people are just trying to find some cool new word similar to subreddit because they don’t realise that lemmy is unique from reddit, it’s not just a replacement for reddit

          Orrrrr… maybe I just think it’s too many syllables.

          Don’t kid yourself. Lemmy is 100% a Reddit clone. It was literally made as a replacement for Reddit.

            You’re just being rude at this point, lemmy is not a Clone of reddit

            It is something that can replace reddit but your kidding yourself if you think it’s a Clone

            Your kind of behaviour is the stuff I’d would’ve hoped be left on reddit

            Just stop woth the rudeness and trying to copy reddit

              I don’t mean the culture. Is that what you mean? I meant the software. The software itself is a clone of Reddit. It works nearly identically, except that it’s a federation of servers.

              That why I said it’s a clone of reddit, and that why I replied how I did, because I thought it was silly that you would say otherwise.

              As for the culture, I hope it never becomes reddit, but it seems like it’s too late. It seems I have to block some new shitposting community every day.

              But I mostly spend my time in niche communities of nice people talking about Zelda or cats, and not about whether Lemmy is a reddit clone or not because that’s a really stupid conversation to have.

              BTW, I think your reply was more rude than me saying “you kid yourself”, but whatever. I didn’t actually mean to hurt your feelings.

                Forcing the name to be something like sublemmy or something similar is pretty annoying when the majority or the lemmy community has decided to call them communities which is easy to remember as it’s one word and it has been called that on the lemmy interface and in its documentation

                I myself migrated from reddit but I’m not trying to forcibly change lemmy’s terminology to match a dying platform that’s dying from a cancer called spez

    Those are the users that cannot seem to grasp that Lemmy is NOT Reddit and that Lemmy wasn’t created 2 weeks ago. “Sublem” and “Sublemmy” are so cringy it hurts. Please just call them communities.

      Coming into an established venue and insisting everything change to be more like what you’re used to is certainly A Choice.

      I like to think most of it is people just genuinely not realising things already have a name, so as long as we continue to nip the “sublemmy” stuff in the bud it’ll peter out. Saw a lot of the same stuff on Mastodon last year but it settled down pretty quick.

        I don’t disagree with you but, as someone who has recently jumped ship from Reddit, can you point to a glossary of terms to help us get our jargon down?

        Edit: Formatting hard.

          Honestly it’s mainly just the sublemmy community thing, from what I’ve seen! Most other terms are the same, upvotes are still upvotes, subscribing is still subscribing, crossposting is still crossposting etc. Even cake day is the same! Shitposting is now beanposting, although we’ll see if that one sticks.

          Lemmy users are Lemmings. I’m not 100% sure what Kbin users have decided on but the one I’ve seen most in use is Kbinauts.

          I keep seeing people refer to a “front page” which isn’t really a thing that exists since it’s completely different depending on which instance you’re on, which feed you’re looking at and how you sort it, but I have no idea what that was on Reddit either since I always stuck to my subscriptions.

          I’ve also seen a couple people in support threads being confused between “instance” (the site an account or community is hosted on ie vlemmy.net) and “community”, but that’s not been too widespread.

            “front page” is just your “subscribed” feed here.

            The other difference here is that we don’t have an “/r/all” (meaning everything on reddit), there is the “local” feed, that would be, “all” communities of the specific instance.

            And there is an “All” feed, but it isn’t all the communities on every instance, there you only see all the communities any user of your instance is subscribed to.

              Yeah I understand how the feeds work but I keep seeing people reference seeing things on “the front page of lemmy.world” or challenging themselves to “make it to the Lemmy front page” and I’m just like…this makes no sense! 😄

      On Beehaw.org someone suggested “yeehives” as a word for the communities there, it kind of caught on enough to see sporadic use.

      It’s completely off the wall and I love it.

    Would that mean that when an instance goes up in smoke that would be sublemation?
