"Feeds"
A feed is a source of posts. Doesn't matter if it's a Lemmy community, a multireddit-analogue, an RSS feed, or whatever. You can subscribe or unsubscribe to that source of posts, or you can create and share your own feed for other people, or configure your feeds.
Feeds it is!
Thank you very much for this idea :)
+1 for Feeds its also instantly understood
Yes this is probably the best answer, where it being vanilla is part of the point.
You can easily combine it with other words to make it more clear too. “Community Feed” for instance. Or “Pie Feed” if you want to lean into the branding/mascot. But the “feed” core remains and explains what it is.
What’s more, as people may hate it, BlueSky is basically using the same term for the same generic idea (custom bundling of content streams).
Yeah, using feeds in combination with other terms really makes it perfect. It is intuitive for SNS users and covers a broad range of meaning, appropriate for this usecase.
I like feeds because it's more universal. At least seems to be for me.
Also our mascot is a little rodent

Also I'm hungry.
Collections
Multiple + Communities = Multicomms
Community Packs
Unions.
Lemmy is kinda rat related, so the feature of collecting multiple communities together, say, by tying their tails together, could be described as rat kings.
Loool
Stacks
Villages
As much as I really like bundles, multicomms and feeds for their more versatile feel, I really love that this one conveys the social context through the name
It feels intrinsically human and about human connection
So my argument for “feed” is that it’s more of a functional category than a description. Which means you can combine it with other terms. Like village, to convey what sort of feed it is.
A “Village feed” would be one aiming for a certain degree of cooperative spirit or something. While a “User feed” would be just someone’s random interests.
Bundles

Super community
Part of the linguistic challenge is that community is already pretty broad, and can include multiple layers. A community can be made up of other community or just be part of a larger one.
If it wasn't already loaded with even more meaning, something like "nation" might be appropriate.
Society?
Edit: I don't actually think we should have something overly specific to fedi verse. I agree with having something like "feed", it's common language that people are more likely to already understand as long as the implementation is close enough to existing analogous functionality.
Warrens
I assume lemmings have warrens? I have no idea

QuickJoin Packs
Bundles, community packs, collections.
Self-describing to someone who doesn't know what the fuck any of this is, friendly, and fun.
Thanks for doing this, it will help make things easier and better around here.
Metropolitan Areas?
Metropoli?
