On reddit you had subreddits. So what the official name for the equivalent on lemmy?

    @5cr33ch3r I believe lemmy calls them communities.

    Lemmy calls them “communities” but since Lemmy federates over ActivityPub which can have lots of different implementations and Lemmy can speak to them, they can have different names. For example there is kbin which calls them “magazines”, another implementation might call them something else.

      The official activitypub term is “group”, but yes we just call them communities here. That’s why its also /c/

      I think the general ActivityPub name is “groups”.

    “Community” as the other replies already mentioned, but how do we abbreviate that? “Sub” worked well imho, but does “com” have the same ring to it? Any better suggestions?

        That’ll work when typing things online, but not in f2f conversations. I thought about ‘com(m)’ which will work, typed out in certain contexts, but I think that sounds too much like other words in several languages including English to use in speech. But if you prepend ‘lemmy’ to that it’s quite a distinguishable word that sounds like ‘lexicon’: lemmycom(m)!

        There’s a lemmycom for that.

          I might just call them lemmies. Like, I was on a lemmy the other day about X. I guess it is ambiguous with the instances and silly if the community is on kbin or whatever, but also it is easy to say.

        I’m thinking that’s how you can refer to your fellow community members
