Reddit has subreddits. What does Lemmy go with?

My personal vote is for lemmings!

Edit: I am personally leaning towards Sublemmy now. It retains the context of being a forum under the general sphere of Lemmy and the connection to Reddit lets people know immediately what Lemmy is about. Thanks to @[email protected] for the comment!

Communities is fine imho. One of the things I dont like about Kbin is that they call communities "magazines", which is obscure and doesn't describe what they are; it just seems random for the sake of being different. Way back in yesteryear when we designed websites, we tried to discourage "mystery meat navigation", because your users need to know what they're clicking on without needing to be part of some inside joke.
