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 ๐
I like it.
I like slice.
I like the idea of a Slice!
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
Definitely should be community. And I was hoping we could all leave the 3rd grade humor behind on reddit

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
I understand, but theyre called subreddits by reddit. Lemmy calls them communities all over the instances. If the users suddenly start calling them something else it would get confusing
People always referred to subreddits as a sub or community anyway. Easy.
Ok, so cum for short then?
cunts
Community => Cums

Lem
plural: Lems
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.
Sublems?
I got 99 sublems but u/spez ain't one
Slice!
Sublemmy? Sublem?
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.
Hexbear uses "comm"
I liked your wifes suggestion of Sublemmit, but I would compact it more and perhaps call it a Sublem? Much quicker to type out.
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 :-)
Lemming
I saw someone use this as "redditor" instead of "subreddit"
Haha, Lemmunity was my first thought.
(also, my first comment here!)
Lmao, everything sounds like LeBron naming memes or whatever it's called. ๐

Mlems
...No, hear me out. If we're lemmings, therefore lems, a community is many lems. So mlems. Also it's catchy.

Community is fine, please, no cutesy nicknames.
I upvote "sublems" or "sublemmies".
Lemmings... Yup. I like that.
Lemmings should refer to the users
Agreed.
How about commune? Short and sweet, and goes with the c/ in the url
cummy
...or not
Summy?
Commy
(Yea, this isn't going to go well with the ~~Ammys~~ Americans)
Good! ;)
