I’d bet that ‘lemmings’ wouldn’t work.

Honestly I think we can just call them “subs” like we did on Reddit. “Sublemmy” sounds clunky but sub still works and we all know what it means.

Sublemmy. Plural sublemmies.

Community seems to be the de facto name but I really don’t like that. We need to agree on something else.

I usually will say or type “community”.

Reddit wants you to call them communities too, but most people still call them subreddits or subs.

You just answered your own question in the title, you call them communities. It’s what they are called by the Lemmy-UI software, and also why they have the /c/ prefix in their URLs.

Community or if we’re just spitballin’ here, it could be Sublemmit

I usually call them boards when I can’t remember the name “community”. There are lots of kinds of community. An instance might well be a community if you are browsing local. Board is shorter and my brain wants to use that word anyway.

They are called communities or coms for short on Lemmy, and they’re magazines or mags on Mbin/Kbin.

Coms

Burrows, since they’re what lemmings live in.

The answer is in the title. Thank you.

Communities - they’re abbreviated to /c/ and that seems a pretty consistent term.
