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
