Very difficult to discuss with the fiance without know the terminology yet lol
They're communities. And the different servers/sites are instances.
Communities
This is all very confusing to me
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!
part of why it’s confusing is that we don’t have defined names for these things.
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.
Technically communities but I prefer the term sublemmy
Sublemmies?
I like the idea to put lemmie in every word it is like with batman. Users should be called Lemmiathans.
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?
oof, id rather call them "comms" or just "cs"(cees)
i come from a country where commie is 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
no
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.

Fuck it, call them Lem. Memes is a Sub-Lemmy on Lemmy on the lemmy.nl Lem.
