I upvote "sublems" or "sublemmies".

Lemmings should refer to the users
Agreed.
A group of lemmings is called a "slice".
If we're not going for community I'd vote for this.
I like it.
I like slice! A slice of life... A slice of the lemmingverse π
A sublemmy?
Lem
plural: Lems
Why not just community? It's already called a community everywhere on the instances and its /c/ in the url. Imo it should start with a C no matter what
People always referred to subreddits as a sub or community anyway. Easy.
Ok, so cum for short then?

Slice!
Mlems
...No, hear me out. If we're lemmings, therefore lems, a community is many lems. So mlems. Also it's catchy.

Personally I prefer Community, it is nicely neutral and conveys the correct message I think. If people think that's too broad, then "sub" is a solid short option.
Good question. Similarly I was talking with someone the other day about what a user should be called (Lemming?) and what the act of using Lemmy might be called (also lemming!)
I like Lemmunity :-)
I like slice.
Community is fine, please, no cutesy nicknames.
Hexbear uses "comm"
Sublems?
Hmm... short and sweet, with a "tip of the hat" to our old reddit world. This might catch on.
Haha, Lemmunity was my first thought.
(also, my first comment here!)

Lemming
I kinda like βLemonβ.
Summy?
If Subreddit -> Sub...
Then Community -> Commune ?
Seems apt given the developer's political leanings. But it wouldn't be as inviting to neutral users, so 'sub' seems to be fine to me.
I liked your wifes suggestion of Sublemmit, but I would compact it more and perhaps call it a Sublem? Much quicker to type out.
A burrow.
Sublemmy? Sublem?
Baby rodents are called a pup, can we call it a pup please?
Lemlet
Lemurs? Lemmings?
