They're communities. And the different servers/sites are instances.

Sub-Lemminal messages?

Communities, which have a parent instance.

+1 for Communities, since that's what they are called in the official UI and documentation

I just thought they were called "communities". At least, that's what the Lemmy UI shows.

Communities is the name used on my UI.

I'll just call them sublemmys

On Lemmy, they are "communities".

On Kbin, they are "magazines". I am told that "magazine" is a pun in Polish (Kbin's maintainer is Polish).

Lemmings!!!

just call them communities (I also sometimes just call them topics because that's how they're called in my reddit clone pet project)

oh snap! you know Lemmy has hit the big time when its a topic of discussion between SOs!

officially, per protocol, it's Groups. but that sucks :)

communities

The use of 'comm' and 'comms' as short form for communities makes the most sense to me. Lemmy's url path already uses /c/ as the designation as well.

Like 'sub' and 'subs', they are one syllable, and are easy to say and spell.

I like communities. I believe that's the the /c/ stands for

Lemmings

I’ve seen “communities,” and my personal conceit is that “like” communities (communities with the same, similar, or synergistic subject matter) are “cohorts” so you don’t have to type “multi-communities”

"lemmies" has a nice ring to it

Sometimes Iused "sublemmies" based on what a few others have done, but mostly I just use community or something similar.

@falcoignis On KBin, they're called "Magazines". Not quite sure if I like it. lol.

I've seen sub-lemmy being used which is cute, but has the obvious ties to Reddit. I guess we all get to work this out together!

Technically communities but I prefer the term sublemmy

I saw someone below mention that hexbear calls them comms with 2 m's. That sounds like the best nickname.
