How do you call a community "sub" in Lemmy ? (lemmy.ml)

As opposed to a "subreddit" ?
Do people just say community? It seems a little vague to me, and I'm new here.

i propose: lemmunity

community is too common of a word and sublemmy doesn't sound right

Or "le mutiny" for added zest, in line with lemmy's revolutionary tendencies, mirite?

Jokes aside, I like community.

Edit: If cross-instance same-named multireddits are ever to become a thing, I'd be okay with those being called sublemmies (y'know, like lemmy.ml/c/cheese+cheese@beehaw.org+cheese@sopuli.xyz, kind of thing, all under /f/cheese).

Lemutiny is a good inside joke
