Coming from Reddit, the term subreddit was easy. Is there already a short name for Lemmy Communities?

Lemmity?

Lemmunity?

Sublemmit? (My wife's suggestion, now my current favorite.)

I personally use "com" and hope it catches on.

I use comm. I feel like the extra M adds specificity but idk.

Com feels like company or .com which also stands for company. Doesn't feel right at all.

Comm then. I've seen people using it in the wild.

If Subreddit -> Sub...
Then Community -> Commune ?

Seems apt given the developer's political leanings. But it wouldn't be as inviting to neutral users, so 'sub' seems to be fine to me.

I kind of wish the term from Kbin would catch on, Magazines.
