A group of lemmings is called a "slice".
If we're not going for community I'd vote for this.

I like it.
I like slice! A slice of life... A slice of the lemmingverse π
I like slice.
zesty!
A sublemmy?
Why not just community? It's already called a community everywhere on the instances and its /c/ in the url. Imo it should start with a C no matter what
But subreddits are called Subreddits and have the format /r/subreddit_name.
Also, community is in my opinion
- too long to type out for something we will be using very often
- the word already has a meaning
It might be better to simply use another dedicated word

Definitely should be community. And I was hoping we could all leave the 3rd grade humor behind on reddit

I upvote "sublems" or "sublemmies".
Lemmings... Yup. I like that.
Lemmings should refer to the users
Agreed.
Lem
plural: Lems
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.
I like the idea of a Slice!
Mlems
...No, hear me out. If we're lemmings, therefore lems, a community is many lems. So mlems. Also it's catchy.

Sublems?
I got 99 sublems but u/spez ain't one
Community is fine, please, no cutesy nicknames.
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.

Slice!
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.
Sublemmies :)
Haha, Lemmunity was my first thought.
(also, my first comment here!)
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 :-)
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.
Hexbear uses "comm"
Baby rodents are called a pup, can we call it a pup please?
Lmao, everything sounds like LeBron naming memes or whatever it's called. π
This reminds me of the good ol memes with "le me":
This may be a dumb question: but how do I zoom in on this pic?

Sublemmy? Sublem?
I might start using sublem!
Lemming
I kinda like βLemonβ.
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.
Summy?
A burrow.
