Sublems?
Hmm... short and sweet, with a "tip of the hat" to our old reddit world. This might catch on.
A group of lemmings is called a "slice".
If we're not going for community I'd vote for this.
I like slice! A slice of life... A slice of the lemmingverse π
Haha, Lemmunity was my first thought.
(also, my first comment here!)
I upvote "sublems" or "sublemmies".
Lemmings... Yup. I like that.
Lemmings should refer to the users
Agreed.
Sublemmy? Sublem?
I might start using sublem!
Good question. Similarly I was talking with someone the other day about what a user should be called (Lemming?) and what the act of using Lemmy might be called (also lemming!)
I like Lemmunity :-)
I like the idea of a Slice!
Personally I prefer Community, it is nicely neutral and conveys the correct message I think. If people think that's too broad, then "sub" is a solid short option.
A sublemmy?
Mlems
...No, hear me out. If we're lemmings, therefore lems, a community is many lems. So mlems. Also it's catchy.
Edit: Well fuck. Obviously not an ios user -.-
Holy cannoli, someone should make an app named that!
/s
Omfg I'm so sorry I saw this right after I posted my comment
Going with c/ how about "circle"
And so we come back to Google+
Lmao oops I didn't even realize it was a Google+ thing. I kinda forgot Google+ was a thing, tbh.
As did almost everyone else.
Blink three times if you're contractually obliged to prefer her suggestion/preferring it under duress.
I'd send help but my wife is home.
Honestly, I think the answer is obvious β¦ same as it was before β¦ βSubβ.
Especially as kbin uses βmagazineβ for its communities, which means we need a short hand that is not specific. βSubβ captures the idea perfectly well and obviously carries over the Reddit analogy.
My vote would be keep βCommunityβ as the long form name, as itβs a good description of what it is and for. Then short form βsubβ because in essence itβs a subset of the total community.
**Lem ** plural: Lems
Baby rodents are called a pup, can we call it a pup please?
I liked your wifes suggestion of Sublemmit, but I would compact it more and perhaps call it a Sublem? Much quicker to type out.
lemon
Hexbear uses "comm"
Lmao, everything sounds like LeBron naming memes or whatever it's called. π
This reminds me of the good ol memes with "le me":
Rage comics were the golden age of memes, to be honest.
You need a single syllable alternative. "Sub" existed for Reddit, guessing "Lem" is the only option available here.
Seconding "Sublem"
How about commune? Short and sweet, and goes with the c/ in the url
