Communities. They're called communities.

[-] DrQuint@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but how to shorten it??

Comms?

[-] CeruleanRuin@lemmy.one 27 points 1 year ago

moons

Short for 'munities.

They orbit the central world of the instance.

Digg was two sites ago...try to keep up.

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 1 points 11 months ago

Web 2.0 was a mistake.

Mūns, if anyone asks for clarification.

[-] BlessedDog@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

I love this, gonna start calling them that.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Phone starts vibrating ..... that's no moon

[-] PriorProject@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Just 'c'.

[-] DrQuint@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I shall hereby always refer to them as /c/'s then.

You don't. We live in the wonderful age of keyboard predictions where you type. Comm and community and communities both pop up as options. You'd have to take extra steps to get it any shorter.

Unless, like anyone with sense, you just type c/ or c/s and have done with it :)

I've been calling them forums

[-] Gleddified@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

Cums or cummies?

[-] BenDoubleU@lemmy.world 62 points 1 year ago

Gotta be honest: I’m all for communities. Hate magazines.

[-] tox_solid@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

If we're being honest, I hate magazine less than I hate sublemmy.

[-] Spacemanspliff@midwest.social 2 points 11 months ago

I hate u/spez less then I hate sublemmy

[-] Jackolantern@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Me too. That magazine thing confused me at the start.

Sails are hoisted shipmate! Tell the captain we are running downwind heading for the great treasure!

[-] sloonark@lemm.ee 25 points 1 year ago

I like "communities" but the problem is that in a broader context, no one will know what you are talking about. "I saw it in the memes community" sounds too vague. Saying "I saw it on the memes subreddit" is perfectly clear. Because of this, I think "sublemmy" is a better, more descriptive term.

[-] berkat@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

That’s inherent to the fediverse. You have to specify which instance you’re referring to. The wording between “community” or “sublemmy” isn’t actually helpful when you have to provide the instance domain anyway.

[-] tourist@community.destinovate.com 1 points 11 months ago

And sites have always had features like communities and groups, so it's not out of the ordinary to say which service the group is hosted on.

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 18 points 1 year ago

Communities or magazines on kbin.

[-] TheButtonJustSpins@infosec.pub 7 points 1 year ago

I do like sublemmies though...

[-] baseless_discourse@mander.xyz 17 points 1 year ago

"communities" are what they are called.

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 9 points 1 year ago

I'm not sure I can narrow it down that much, but my favorite instance is Solarpunk (slrpnk.net), it's got a load of communities I'm interested in.

[-] AES@lemmy.ronsmans.eu 7 points 1 year ago

Easy: c/sublemmunities

[-] bizzle@lemmy.moorefam.net 5 points 1 year ago

!trees@lemmy.world

I'm a weed head and it's always nice to talk to like-minded people

[-] EliasChao@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago

Loved that the community kept the name.

[-] collegefurtrader@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)
