    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”

      I think part of why it’s confusing is that we don’t have defined names for these things. This is so early in a social media “product” life that there isn’t a common understanding. You’re now part of making those names. It’s a bit exciting but mostly confusing while everyone uses their own terms to mean the same fundamental things. Embrace the chaos!

        But we do: Communities.

        You find that term in the UI, in user documentation, and the /c/ part of the URL also refers to that.

        Calling it anything else, especially unrelated to /c/, will only make it harder and more confusing for new people to join.

      I like the idea to put lemmie in every word it is like with batman. Users should be called Lemmiathans.

      Might as well keep it simple and call it what it is without the branding. There is plenty about a site like reddit that we should carry forward, but plenty were should leave behind, and redundant jargon is the latter.
