What do we call the equivalent of a subreddit?

Sublemmy doesn't quite roll off of the tongue as nicely.

We call them "communities", though I've been saying "munis" for short.

Kbin and Kbin call them "magazines".

Kbin and Kbin

This sounds like a lawfirm name you'd see advertised on TV.

"Did your post get unjustly deleted? Unfair moderator actions? Admins getting you down? Call Kbin and Kbin for a free consultation TODAY!"

Moonies

I just discovered my neighbor is a moonie, and proudly described himself as such.

I was surprised as I thought it was a derogatory term for them.

“comms” is my go-to.

Apparently, in the underlying ActivityPub protocol, they're called "groups".

Usenet bridge when, smart people? (The cost of doing it properly might well be prohibitive though.)
