OK, so as a new lemmy user (hello, world!), I keep saying subreddits for categories/communities. I feel like we should come up with a new creative term. Like....lemmings? lemmons? sublemminals?

Time will tell, but I think there's some survivor bias in having already normalized "subs". I think if everyone decided to shorten to "coms" it wouldn't sound so weird after a while. I definitely prefer calling them communities, but I'm not sure what the shortened version should be. Sublemmies sounds too forced IMO.
