Reddit has subreddits. What does Lemmy go with?

My personal vote is for lemmings!

Edit: I am personally leaning towards Sublemmy now. It retains the context of being a forum under the general sphere of Lemmy and the connection to Reddit lets people know immediately what Lemmy is about. Thanks to @[email protected] for the comment!

    Did anyone have troubles to recall or to understand “community”? It’s a quite self-explanatory term, because it is generic.

    Also, please consider:

    • the documentation calls it community
    • the unchangeable URL refers to it: /c/

    For many, lemmy is already complex and hard to understand. I’m worried things like these (if adopted) would make it even less accessible.

      No one will connect a generic term like community to Lemmy. This kinda hurts the awareness of it as a service people can use. Having something more catchy will at least get people asking.

        You do have a point. And while I was arguing all for accessibility, I feel an argument for ‘accessibility’ can also be made the other way. When people have an easier time connecting with an idea emotionally, it can make it easier for them to learn about it. So yeah, I guess it isn’t as obvious as I tried to make it look. I have no conclusion yet.
