Communities. They're called communities.

[-] DrQuint@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Yeah, but how to shorten it??

Comms?

[-] CeruleanRuin@lemmy.one 27 points 2 years ago

moons

Short for 'munities.

They orbit the central world of the instance.

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 6 points 2 years ago

I can dig it.

[-] CeruleanRuin@lemmy.one 4 points 2 years ago

Mūns, if anyone asks for clarification.

[-] BlessedDog@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I love this, gonna start calling them that.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] PriorProject@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Yeah, but how to shorten it??

Just 'c'.

[-] DrQuint@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years 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 :)

[-] kate@lemmy.uhhoh.com 1 points 2 years ago

I've been calling them forums

[-] Gleddified@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Cums or cummies?

[-] BenDoubleU@lemmy.world 61 points 2 years ago

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

[-] tox_solid@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Spacemanspliff@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

I hate u/spez less then I hate sublemmy

[-] Jackolantern@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

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

[-] sloonark@lemm.ee 25 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

Communities or magazines on kbin.

[-] TheButtonJustSpins@infosec.pub 7 points 2 years ago

I do like sublemmies though...

[-] baseless_discourse@mander.xyz 16 points 2 years ago

"communities" are what they are called.

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 9 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

Easy: c/sublemmunities

[-] somedaysoon@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Saw someone else post it in similar thread so not taking credit but I liked sublem.

[-] jerebear205@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

That's a legitimately good name!

[-] bizzle@lemmy.moorefam.net 5 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

Loved that the community kept the name.

[-] collegefurtrader@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)
