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!

Sublemmy. I know it's uninspired, but we might as well use terminology that people are familiar with. "Community" sounds too vague IMO, it's better to choose a made up word that doesn't have a specific dictionary definition.

Reddit no longer refers to subreddits as subreddits officially, so I say it's free for the taking.

Ironically, they've been calling them Communities officially since around when New Reddit launched.
