Lemmy communities need a distinct one word name for communities like how reddit has "subreddits" (reddthat.com)

Part of the latest migration wave. Something I realized when looking for communities on google is that "lemmy community" is super clumsy.

It could be something unbranded, like “communities,” as long as it was consistently used by all. But to have some call it topics, some call it communities, and some call it channels just gets confusing. I’m not even going to comment on “magazines.”

I mean... communities is the official term, makes sense to use it. No idea where the others come from - except magazines, that is a kbin thing.
