What do we call the equivalent of a subreddit?
Sublemmy doesn’t quite roll off of the tongue as nicely.
Reddit wants you to call them communities too, but most people still call them subreddits or subs.
They are called communities or coms for short on Lemmy, and they’re magazines or mags on Mbin/Kbin.
Commies
They are on lemmy.ml
They’re just pretending to be communist in order to spread Kremlin propaganda to gullible people who are dissatisfied with their own countries.
You just answered your own question in the title, you call them communities. It’s what they are called by the Lemmy-UI software, and also why they have the /c/ prefix in their URLs.
Communities - they’re abbreviated to /c/ and that seems a pretty consistent term.
The answer is in the title. Thank you.
I usually will say or type “community”.
Woah I never speak of lemmy
A /c/ommunity

Read your question back. What did YOU call them? Yeah, that’s what they’re called.
For clarification, it’s communities, not sublemmies.
The “official” word is “community”, which you can see in various parts of the UI.
Magazine!
On Mbin or Kbin, sure, but not Lemmy
I’d bet that ‘lemmings’ wouldn’t work.
We call them “communities”, though I’ve been saying “munis” for short.
Kbin and Kbin call them “magazines”.
though I’ve been saying “munis” for short.
“comms” is my go-to.
Kbin and Kbin
This sounds like a lawfirm name you’d see advertised on TV.
“Did your post get unjustly deleted? Unfair moderator actions? Admins getting you down? Call Kbin and Kbin for a free consultation TODAY!”
Mbin got autocowronged, haha

Moonies
I just discovered my neighbor is a moonie, and proudly described himself as such.
I was surprised as I thought it was a derogatory term for them.

Apparently, in the underlying ActivityPub protocol, they’re called “groups”.
Usenet bridge when, smart people? (The cost of doing it properly might well be prohibitive though.)
I’ve always thought we should call then “dens” (in honor of lemmings) or something like “gigs” or “venues” (in honor of Lemmy), but I stick with “communities.”
Dens is good
I like this idea.
Burrows, since they’re what lemmings live in.
Community seems to be the de facto name but I really don’t like that. We need to agree on something else.
