Those are the users that cannot seem to grasp that Lemmy is NOT Reddit and that Lemmy wasn’t created 2 weeks ago. “Sublem” and “Sublemmy” are so cringy it hurts. Please just call them communities.

That makes it sound like Kanye is involved
Instances work for me, as an engineer that verbage comes naturally
That’s different, though, as it refers to the server hosting the communities.
