I don’t even know what sublemmys are called, M pretty sure it’s not that
Communities. They’re called communities.
Yeah, but how to shorten it??
Comms?
moons
Short for 'munities.
They orbit the central world of the instance.
Muns
Mūns, if anyone asks for clarification.
I can dig it.
Digg was two sites ago…try to keep up.
Web 2.0 was a mistake.
Commies, even
Isn’t the short form of communist just “socialist”?
Socialism ≠ Communism.
Yup. I was joking. Making fun of the right wing who pretty much use the terms interchangeably
Gotta be honest: I’m all for communities. Hate magazines.
If we’re being honest, I hate magazine less than I hate sublemmy.
I hate u/spez less then I hate sublemmy
Me too. That magazine thing confused me at the start.

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.
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.
Saw someone else post it in similar thread so not taking credit but I liked sublem.
That’s a legitimately good name!
