They're communities. And the different servers/sites are instances.

Sub-Lemminal messages?

Communities, which have a parent instance.

+1 for Communities, since that's what they are called in the official UI and documentation

I just thought they were called "communities". At least, that's what the Lemmy UI shows.

I'll just call them sublemmys

Communities is the name used on my UI.

On Lemmy, they are "communities".

On Kbin, they are "magazines". I am told that "magazine" is a pun in Polish (Kbin's maintainer is Polish).

just call them communities (I also sometimes just call them topics because that's how they're called in my reddit clone pet project)

Lemmings!!!

The use of 'comm' and 'comms' as short form for communities makes the most sense to me. Lemmy's url path already uses /c/ as the designation as well.

Like 'sub' and 'subs', they are one syllable, and are easy to say and spell.

communities

Lemmings

oh snap! you know Lemmy has hit the big time when its a topic of discussion between SOs!

officially, per protocol, it's Groups. but that sucks :)

I’ve seen “communities,” and my personal conceit is that “like” communities (communities with the same, similar, or synergistic subject matter) are “cohorts” so you don’t have to type “multi-communities”

I like communities. I believe that's the the /c/ stands for

"lemmies" has a nice ring to it

Sometimes Iused "sublemmies" based on what a few others have done, but mostly I just use community or something similar.

Technically communities but I prefer the term sublemmy

I've seen sub-lemmy being used which is cute, but has the obvious ties to Reddit. I guess we all get to work this out together!

@falcoignis On KBin, they're called "Magazines". Not quite sure if I like it. lol.

and more importantly, what are lemmy users called? for reddit we have redditors, for lemmy.. lemminors?!
