Coms on lemmy, mags on mbin/kbin.
Listen, "comms" is a terrible name for this concept. I'm calling them subs until something better comes along.
Lol how so, Lemmy (the software) calls them "communities" and comms is a nice and shortened version of that
That's exactly why, actually. It's too easy, like a kid naming their dog Mr. Woofs or naming a car Sally. I feel we can be far more creative.
I can't, but I'm sure someone can.
What do lemmings live in. ...holes? Warrens? Hives?
Seeing as how roughly zero percent of us are neurotypicals, yes that tracks. 😎

Usually comms is short for communications, but I think it's fine in context.

Sub as in sublemmy
Instead of "sub" , I propose "dom".
As I have been calling them sublemmys because it amuses me, the change to domlemmys should be an easy one.
Please like and domscribe
As the singular authority on nicknames for communities, I'll allow it.
Hey, I'm on a *Bin instance. I'll call them "magazines" and you'll like it.
I think it's referred to as a cassette.
I'll miscall them clips.
Why not a Binstance?
no >:3
I got a full magazine for you fancy motherfucker
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".
Sub-comms. 😎
Sub is fine to me in both contexts. sub(scriptions) or sub(forums) but "sublemmy" or variation just feel forced to me
What if we refer to them as cums?
I think that's phonetically correct.
I think this actually works really well for the concept of "Lemmy tell you" "Lemmy show you". Lemmy cum.
LMAO guys please don't do this. I don't want this to be my legacy.
Too, late hombre. Now share with us your favourite Lemmy cums.
Karma = cum
All these cumwhores on /c/lemmyshitpost
