Who else thinks we need a sub for that?

(sublemmy? Lemmy community? How is that called?)

I asked this question ages ago and it was pointed out that "sub" isn't a reddit specific term. It's been short for "subforum" since the first BBSes, so it's basically a ubiquitous internet term.

"Sub" works because everybody already knows what you mean and it's the word you intuitively reach for.

You can call them "communities" if you want, but it's longer and can't easily be shortened.

I just call them subs now.

I propose "commies"

"Subcom" sounds like a bad movie genre or a very niche porn fetish.

Subcom: noum (informal) a submissive comedy

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

That's just short for Subspace Communication.

how about "/c/" ?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

Heck yeah. It hearkens back to the days of Current Events vs. Random Insanity, and probably much earlier

[–] jaybone 5 points 4 months ago

I was calling them coms for a while. I think people mnew what I meant but it’s even more loaded.

Lemmy is a selfhosted, federated social link aggregation and discussion forum. It consists of many different communities which are focused on different topics. Users can post text, links or images and discuss it with others. Voting helps to bring the most interesting items to the top. There are strong moderation tools to keep out spam and trolls. All this is completely free and open, not controlled by any company. This means that there is no advertising, tracking, or secret algorithms.

Lemmy Community

Sublemmy is cringe and doesn't work very well as a portmanteau

Maybe there's some word theory out there to describe why it doesn't work but I don't know the name of it

[–] overcast5348 8 points 4 months ago

Lemmunity is a great portmanteau of lemmy + community.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

I just call them communities. That's what I've seen others use.
