      Way more fun than communities! Plus it speaks to the Reddit exodus in a bit of a tongue in cheek way.

        It’s a nice lighthearted nod to the exodus, and also a nod to the subforums that came before Reddit. Communities may be the “official” name and I try to use it when talking to others, but they’ll always be sublemmys in my head.

          I think using Communities is respectful to the people that were already doing community on Lemmy before the exodus.

      Its prefect, I think the “trade name” for that is “sub” anyways and that’s what they will be called no matter what they are suposed to be called.

      That’s one way to make it harder for newcomers to understand what’s going on.

      I agree sublemmys sounds fun, but is it worth burdening newcomers with additional confusion?

      UI and documentation calls it communities, which is also a well known natural language word. Let’s keep it simple for everyone and stick to that.
