If we want to mature and be our own thing it’s also a good idea to separate ourselves from Reddit, otherwise Lemmy will always be considered a “Reddit clone” (even though it technically started as one and still is).
Yeah like I enjoy this “voting” system more too, it’s just shows both how many people agree and disagree with a comment and it’s more informational that way
But why just specifically refer to lemmy when there’s so much more going on than just lemmy. Lemmings and sublemmies are going to put a lot of people off on account of them being so cutesy try-hard. Just go with communities so you’re not being divisive and exclusionary.
Afaik “community” is the intended Lemmy term.

Well, usenet also had groups --> subgroups, forums have subforums, … so these terms predated reddit.

I was specifically referring to Lemmy, not the ActivityPub protocol in general.
Lemmy is a Reddit clone the same way as PixelFed is an Instagram clone, Mastodon is a Twitter clone and PeerTube is a YouTube clone.
I don’t use “clone” as a derogatory term, there’s nothing wrong with getting inspired by other sites and implementing something better.
