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
People always referred to subreddits as a sub or community anyway. Easy.

Yep. And can easily be shortened to com or comms.
Communities -> commies

A group of lemmings is called a "slice".
If we're not going for community I'd vote for this.
I like slice! A slice of life... A slice of the lemmingverse π
I like it.
Sublems?
A sublemmy?
I like slice.
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.
A burrow.
I upvote "sublems" or "sublemmies".
Lemmings... Yup. I like that.
Lemmings should refer to the users
Agreed.
Hexbear uses "comm"
Lem
plural: Lems
I personally use "com" and hope it catches on.
I use comm. I feel like the extra M adds specificity but idk.

I liked your wifes suggestion of Sublemmit, but I would compact it more and perhaps call it a Sublem? Much quicker to type out.
Commy
(Yea, this isn't going to go well with the ~~Ammys~~ Americans)
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.
Summy?
I saw Lemmyverse somewhere and I kind of dig it
Down the lemming hole we go...
Lemuria?!?!
I kinda like βLemonβ.
How about commune? Short and sweet, and goes with the c/ in the url
cummy
...or not
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 :)
Mlems
...No, hear me out. If we're lemmings, therefore lems, a community is many lems. So mlems. Also it's catchy.
Edit: Well fuck. Obviously not an ios user -.-

Lmao, everything sounds like LeBron naming memes or whatever it's called. π
This reminds me of the good ol memes with "le me":
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!
Baby rodents are called a pup, can we call it a pup please?
I like the idea of a Slice!
I kind of wish the term from Kbin would catch on, Magazines.
