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.

Lemco
I thought LemCom.
I personally use "com" and hope it catches on.
Com feels like company or .com which also stands for company. Doesn't feel right at all.

This has been used for "redditor" by now btw.
same thing....
Honestly, I think the answer is obvious … same as it was before … “Sub”.
Especially as kbin uses “magazine” for its communities, which means we need a short hand that is not specific. “Sub” captures the idea perfectly well and obviously carries over the Reddit analogy.
My vote would be keep “Community” as the long form name, as it’s a good description of what it is and for. Then short form “sub” because in essence it’s a subset of the total community.
