Reddit has subreddits. What does Lemmy go with?
My personal vote is for lemmings!
I thought lemmings was for lemmy users. My vote is “communities” 😅
Exactly.
Let’s not overcomplicate this. People trying to come up with a name for something that already has one. Lol.
That’s a very important point. Some of us probably still remember the learning curve when coming to lemmy. Everyone has heard how others complained about it, or would not join in the first place.
Creating ambiguous terms and multiple definitions for the same things is one unecessary way to make life harder for everyone.
More reasons:
- the documentation calls it community
- the unchangeable URL refers to it: /c/
Yeah but that sounds kinda bland. A good community needs some lore to dig through to make it more interesting!
I suggest cliffs. Because lemmings jump down cliffs according to Disney. And it matches with /c/
Lemmings makes more sense to be the users
Users are called lemmings. Communities are called communities on lemmy and magazines on kbin. Communities makes more sense to me.
I mean, a community is made up of its members, so it still seems to fit?
You know what? I didn’t think about that!
Commies 💛
Commies full of Leminists!
Magazines! quickly runs away
I can see why people would hate it. But I actually love magazines. Though “bins” for kbin makes a lot of sense too.
