Is it a sublemmy? How would you link to it, just like L/whatever?
Most people call sublemmys communities. You can link to them like this !asklemmy@lemmy.world
It’s Community. /C/name the C is for community
Communities.
Can we just use normal words? How about “community”?
Official docs use Community.
I call them cats, like categories. Community is fine though…
Sub-communitit
DeLeminations.
I’ve called it sublems or sublemmies before and been crucified for it. People don’t like the association with the bad place. So I just call it a “community” like most people.

A forum would have subforums, hence subs. Forums nested under the overarching forum. So sublemmies is a natural extension of that, in the same way subreddits was.
But, ultimately if people don’t like the term, that’s cool - I have no horse in this race other than trying to remember to use “communities” for Lemmy and “magazines” for kbin depending on where they originated. :)
I kinda want to use subs because its so much shorter than communities, and if you shorten community, you get com which is unclear.
Just use c/ then
Yeah, but Im using my phone, and I have to swap over to use punctuation.

Sublems is such a better word than community in my opinion. “Coms” doesn’t feel right as an abbreviation
Since members are called lemmings, I’ve gotten into the habit of calling them burrows (referencing that actual lemmings live in burrows).
I could get behind this.
I could borrow deep into this
I love this, now I wish the devs officially picked the term “burrow” instead of “community”.
Communities is the official term which I use. I’m not a stickler so you can call them sublemmies, sublems, subworlds, subhaws, subs, whatever. I know people here would rather disassociate from that site that many migrated away from.
I liked the idea of burrows, so if you have creative terms for it people tend to appreciate it. Yeehive was another cute idea over on Beehaw.
On your server, you can use
server/c/community_name
(e.g. lemmy.world/c/asklemmy ). A more commonly accepted approach now is to use!community_name@server
(e.g. !asklemmy@lemmy.world).Welcome!
Kbin calls them magazines, so there is some variation out there.
When I first joined during the Reddit Revolt, everyone called them communities, hence the C.
I’m curious to know as well
