That'll work when typing things online, but not in f2f conversations. I thought about 'com(m)' which will work, typed out in certain contexts, but I think that sounds too much like other words in several languages including English to use in speech. But if you prepend 'lemmy' to that it's quite a distinguishable word that sounds like 'lexicon': lemmycom(m)!

There's a lemmycom for that.

I might just call them lemmies. Like, I was on a lemmy the other day about X. I guess it is ambiguous with the instances and silly if the community is on kbin or whatever, but also it is easy to say.
