Yeah, but how to shorten it??
Comms?
moons
Short for 'munities.
They orbit the central world of the instance.
I can dig it.
Digg was two sites ago...try to keep up.
Web 2.0 was a mistake.
Muns
MΕ«ns, if anyone asks for clarification.
I love this, gonna start calling them that.
Phone starts vibrating ..... that's no moon
Commies, even
Isn't the short form of communist just "socialist"?
No, no, the short form of communist is Lenin, he was about 5'4.
Oh that makes more sense. Thanks for the correction
All communists are socialists but not all socialists are communists, it is a broader term.
Socialism β Communism.
Yup. I was joking. Making fun of the right wing who pretty much use the terms interchangeably
Yeah, but how to shorten it??
Just 'c'.
I shall hereby always refer to them as /c/'s then.
You don't. We live in the wonderful age of keyboard predictions where you type. Comm and community and communities both pop up as options. You'd have to take extra steps to get it any shorter.
Unless, like anyone with sense, you just type c/ or c/s and have done with it :)
I've been calling them forums
Cums or cummies?
Gotta be honest: Iβm 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.
Thatβs inherent to the fediverse. You have to specify which instance youβre referring to. The wording between βcommunityβ or βsublemmyβ isnβt actually helpful when you have to provide the instance domain anyway.
Domlemmy sub?

And sites have always had features like communities and groups, so it's not out of the ordinary to say which service the group is hosted on.
Lemmunities
+1
Communities or magazines on kbin.
I do like sublemmies though...
"communities" are what they are called.
I'm not sure I can narrow it down that much, but my favorite instance is Solarpunk (slrpnk.net), it's got a load of communities I'm interested in.
Easy: c/sublemmunities
I'm a weed head and it's always nice to talk to like-minded people
Loved that the community kept the name.
