Reddit = Lemmy
Subreddits = Sublemmies
Redditors = Lemmings
I really hope lemmings doesn’t become the norm
I vote for lemmurs instead
Or maybe Lemmers?
And subs could just be called Lemms?
Like the animal: lemur?
I like lemmings.
Agreed. Maybe lemmitor?
Why not? Can you explain why you don’t like the name?
because it sounds redditarded
Because lemmings are considered dumb followers
Oh, where did you hear that?
Oh, now I understand. I liked the name because of the show Grizzy and the Lemmings.
Yeah. Lemmings it’s definitely not what I want to be called.
a person who follows the will of others, especially in a mass movement, and heads straight into a situation or circumstance that is dangerous, stupid, or destructive
There are terms for this. The communities are called communities and not Sublemmies. And Lemmings is a very specific term which excludes all the other services in the Fediverse which can interact with Lemmy communities. I prefer an inclusive term like Fedinauts or Fedizens.
Subreddits are already called communities with /c/ prefix
I’m leaning towards: sublems or comms
I’m not a fan of sumlemmies. Since “communities” is a mouthful, I propose “communes” or just “commies”.
