On Reddit it’s call Subreddits, will it one day be called Sublemmies?

      I was specifically referring to Lemmy, not the ActivityPub protocol in general.

      Lemmy is a Reddit clone the same way as PixelFed is an Instagram clone, Mastodon is a Twitter clone and PeerTube is a YouTube clone.

      I don’t use “clone” as a derogatory term, there’s nothing wrong with getting inspired by other sites and implementing something better.

        But why just specifically refer to lemmy when there’s so much more going on than just lemmy. Lemmings and sublemmies are going to put a lot of people off on account of them being so cutesy try-hard. Just go with communities so you’re not being divisive and exclusionary.
