        community is the name of lemmy communities and I’m going to hard disagree with anyone who says otherwise because those people are just trying to find some cool new word similar to subreddit because they don’t realise that lemmy is unique from reddit, it’s not just a replacement for reddit

          Orrrrr… maybe I just think it’s too many syllables.

          Don’t kid yourself. Lemmy is 100% a Reddit clone. It was literally made as a replacement for Reddit.

            You’re just being rude at this point, lemmy is not a Clone of reddit

            It is something that can replace reddit but your kidding yourself if you think it’s a Clone

            Your kind of behaviour is the stuff I’d would’ve hoped be left on reddit

            Just stop woth the rudeness and trying to copy reddit

              I don’t mean the culture. Is that what you mean? I meant the software. The software itself is a clone of Reddit. It works nearly identically, except that it’s a federation of servers.

              That why I said it’s a clone of reddit, and that why I replied how I did, because I thought it was silly that you would say otherwise.

              As for the culture, I hope it never becomes reddit, but it seems like it’s too late. It seems I have to block some new shitposting community every day.

              But I mostly spend my time in niche communities of nice people talking about Zelda or cats, and not about whether Lemmy is a reddit clone or not because that’s a really stupid conversation to have.

              BTW, I think your reply was more rude than me saying “you kid yourself”, but whatever. I didn’t actually mean to hurt your feelings.

                Forcing the name to be something like sublemmy or something similar is pretty annoying when the majority or the lemmy community has decided to call them communities which is easy to remember as it’s one word and it has been called that on the lemmy interface and in its documentation

                I myself migrated from reddit but I’m not trying to forcibly change lemmy’s terminology to match a dying platform that’s dying from a cancer called spez

      Communities has too many sillaby, may be comm or comi is better…
      I actually like kbin term, they use term Magazine for community. It can easily shortened as Magz.

        I don’t agree with you, community is more memorable and we don’t have to be reddit

        I’m going to nip the bud early for any attempt calling it something other than community because lemmy is not reddit so people need to stop trying to make it like reddit with the terminology

        Comi and magz sound really awful and I can see that you’re basing it of the reddit term “subreddit”

        Don’t try and force redditness (if that even is a word) on lemmy because lemmy is unique in its own way, no one should force it to be like reddit

      Sublem and sublemmy are also cringey and stupid

      please stop
