Subreddits are already called communities with /c/ prefix

I'm leaning towards: sublems or comms

There are terms for this. The communities are called communities and not Sublemmies. And Lemmings is a very specific term which excludes all the other services in the Fediverse which can interact with Lemmy communities. I prefer an inclusive term like Fedinauts or Fedizens.

I'm not a fan of sumlemmies. Since "communities" is a mouthful, I propose "communes" or just "commies".

I really hope lemmings doesn’t become the norm

Lemmyheads?

I like lemmings.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Agreed. Maybe lemmitor?

Why not? Can you explain why you don't like the name?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

because it sounds redditarded

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because lemmings are considered dumb followers

Oh, where did you hear that?

Oh, now I understand. I liked the name because of the show Grizzy and the Lemmings.
