Fediverse memes

I sometimes forget tbh.

Comms is a pretty good word imo.

I vote for sublemmy

I'm not calling them comms. find a better word if you don't want to hear me say subs

Not the most creative method but I'll say something like 'over at [community hyperlink].' Others have pointed out that you use "/c/" as a replacement of "r/."

Subs is fine by me, but /r is not.

Subs, for subcommunity. COME AT ME!

Calling them subs just like I call safe spots in every soulslike a bonfire.

Instead of "sub" , I propose "dom".

I just hate when anyone uses a name that signifies they use some site - lemmings, imgurians, redditors, whatever. I am no more a lemming than I am a reader for reading books or an eater for having dinner.

Listen, "comms" is a terrible name for this concept. I'm calling them subs until something better comes along.

Eh, I don't know that this is something we need to gatekeep about to be honest. "Comms" doesn't really roll off the tongue so if people want to keep saying "subs" I'm not going to correct them, it's not like anyone would misconstrue what they mean. Plus we can't even settle for a name amongst ourselves with Mbin keeping on referring to them as "magazines".

I know it's a joke but there are probably users who get genuinely angry and unleash all kinds of undeserved abuse when they see this. Old habits are hard to break, so let's be human.

Using "lemmings" is arguably more wrong - there are plenty of people on the fediverse who are not using lemmy.

Sadly, Reddit grabbed the cool names and concepts first

Genuine question as a former Redditer what are they called here on Lemmy?

I’m ok with subs because you subscribe to communities, but yeah I have had to unlearn some habits from reddit
