Communities. They're called communities.
- Yeah, but how to shorten it??
  Comms?
  
  moons
  Short for 'munities.
  They orbit the central world of the instance.
  
  Commies, even

  Just 'c'.
  
  You don't. We live in the wonderful age of keyboard predictions where you type. Comm and community and communities both pop up as options. You'd have to take extra steps to get it any shorter.
  Unless, like anyone with sense, you just type c/ or c/s and have done with it :)
  
  I've been calling them forums
  
  Cums or cummies?

Gotta be honest: I’m all for communities. Hate magazines.
- If we're being honest, I hate magazine less than I hate sublemmy.
  
  I hate u/spez less then I hate sublemmy
- Me too. That magazine thing confused me at the start.

I like "communities" but the problem is that in a broader context, no one will know what you are talking about. "I saw it in the memes community" sounds too vague. Saying "I saw it on the memes subreddit" is perfectly clear. Because of this, I think "sublemmy" is a better, more descriptive term.
- That’s inherent to the fediverse. You have to specify which instance you’re referring to. The wording between “community” or “sublemmy” isn’t actually helpful when you have to provide the instance domain anyway.
  
  And sites have always had features like communities and groups, so it's not out of the ordinary to say which service the group is hosted on.
  
  Domlemmy sub?

Lemmunities
- +1

Communities or magazines on kbin.
- I do like sublemmies though...

"communities" are what they are called.

I'm not sure I can narrow it down that much, but my favorite instance is Solarpunk (slrpnk.net), it's got a load of communities I'm interested in.

Easy: c/sublemmunities

I'm a weed head and it's always nice to talk to like-minded people
- Loved that the community kept the name.

SubLemmy 👍🏻
