What do we call the equivalent of a subreddit?
Sublemmy doesn’t quite roll off of the tongue as nicely.
You must log in or # to comment.
Communities - they’re abbreviated to /c/ and that seems a pretty consistent term.
They are called communities or coms for short on Lemmy, and they’re magazines or mags on Mbin/Kbin.
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.
I usually will say or type “community”.
A /c/ommunity
Woah I never speak of lemmy
The “official” word is “community”, which you can see in various parts of the UI.

On Mbin or Kbin, sure, but not Lemmy
Reddit wants you to call them communities too, but most people still call them subreddits or subs.
The answer is in the title. Thank you.
Read your question back. What did YOU call them? Yeah, that’s what they’re called.
For clarification, it’s communities, not sublemmies.
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.
Community seems to be the de facto name but I really don’t like that. We need to agree on something else.
lemmy community
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.
I usually call them boards when I can’t remember the name “community”. There are lots of kinds of community. An instance might well be a community if you are browsing local. Board is shorter and my brain wants to use that word anyway.
Coms
Burrows, since they’re what lemmings live in.
