    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.

      Coming into an established venue and insisting everything change to be more like what you’re used to is certainly A Choice.

      I like to think most of it is people just genuinely not realising things already have a name, so as long as we continue to nip the “sublemmy” stuff in the bud it’ll peter out. Saw a lot of the same stuff on Mastodon last year but it settled down pretty quick.

      On Beehaw.org someone suggested “yeehives” as a word for the communities there, it kind of caught on enough to see sporadic use.

      It’s completely off the wall and I love it.
