“Community” is a universal term, where as “subreddit” is a reddit-specific term. It’s a little easier for a newbie to guess what a “community” in lemmy is versus whatever a “subreddit” to reddit is. (Is a subreddit a webpage? Is it the second page of the front page? Is the submarine section of reddit?)

In a normal, nonfederated site, sure. But when you throw instances on top of it, it gets a bit more complex.
On another note, I don’t believe we’re gonna get a lot of people coming here who aren’t redditors.
