They’re communities. And the different servers/sites are instances.
I’ll just call them sublemmys
That’s one way to make it harder for newcomers to understand what’s going on.
I agree sublemmys sounds fun, but is it worth burdening newcomers with additional confusion?
UI and documentation calls it communities, which is also a well known natural language word. Let’s keep it simple for everyone and stick to that.
Communities
This is all very confusing to me

Call it sublemmy. I don’t call it that though
I’ve seen “communities,” and my personal conceit is that “like” communities (communities with the same, similar, or synergistic subject matter) are “cohorts” so you don’t have to type “multi-communities”
can we call them
commies?no
oof, id rather call them “comms” or just “cs”(cees)
i come from a country where
commieis never used as a slur, but by the number of replies that i have received that are mildly horrified, i guess that i may need to think of a different name!in th united STates, commie is an insult
it means communist, and it is a slur, it 's like the n word but for blievers of communims
The official term is “community” as noted in one of the earlier github commits:

Technically communities but I prefer the term sublemmy
Lemmunities (I pulled it out of my ass, take it or leave it)
Whatever it’s called, it’d probably have to have “c” somewhere in the name, since that’s what appears in the urls.
c-cum-com-community
Sublemmies?
I like the idea to put lemmie in every word it is like with batman. Users should be called Lemmiathans.
