Fediverse memes

I'm not calling them comms. find a better word if you don't want to hear me say subs

Subs is fine by me, but /r is not.

Using "lemmings" is arguably more wrong - there are plenty of people on the fediverse who are not using lemmy.

I just hate when anyone uses a name that signifies they use some site - lemmings, imgurians, redditors, whatever. I am no more a lemming than I am a reader for reading books or an eater for having dinner.

I know it's a joke but there are probably users who get genuinely angry and unleash all kinds of undeserved abuse when they see this. Old habits are hard to break, so let's be human.

I sometimes forget tbh.

Comms is a pretty good word imo.

I vote for sublemmy

Genuine question as a former Redditer what are they called here on Lemmy?

To be fair, most of us have been "that lemming" at one point or another.

But I can SUBScribe to them 😔.

i call them subs because they are full of submissives

When someone refers to a community as a 'comm', they're just trying to make 'fetch' happen.

If you hit me up on 'comms', I'm gonna need a radio; that's what the word means, if you've been alive any time in the last 100 years.

Subs, for subcommunity. COME AT ME!

Calling them subs just like I call safe spots in every soulslike a bonfire.

Not the most creative method but I'll say something like 'over at [community hyperlink].' Others have pointed out that you use "/c/" as a replacement of "r/."

Coms on lemmy, mags on mbin/kbin.
