Hey, I’m on a *Bin instance. I’ll call them “magazines” and you’ll like it.
no >:3
I’ll miscall them clips.
I got a full magazine for you fancy motherfucker
I think it’s referred to as a cassette.
Why not a Binstance?
Pretty much the same vibe around here too.
I like to imagine I am a Troy or a Jeff or even a Shirley, but I’m really just a Leonard.
Could be worse, could be a Garret.
I’ve seen your prescription socks.
Pop what, Magnitude? Pop what?? 😭
I’m withdrawing from the race, I think a political career would interfere with my drug dealing
Can’t help but see “.ml” plastered over Chevy’s face.
Lmao, 1000% and now I cant unsee it
who do you think each major character is?
Each instance assigned to a character? I was actually just wondering that, I think I’ll have to do a rewatch to do it right, but I think .world would either be Jeff or Britta for sure lmao
britta is hexbear for sure
Makes sense
Troy and Abed give dbzero vibes (in a good way) but Abed may lean more sh.itjustworks (also in a good way)
Calling them communities makes you streets ahead
Remember the people who tried “sublemmys” or something stupid like that
I member! (it’s mee, I call them sublemmys)
Shout out to my very inactive Community community, !communitytv@lemmy.world.
Calling them subs just like I call safe spots in every soulslike a bonfire.
i call them subs because they are full of submissives
Say that to my FUCKING FACE…
…
But this time use a growly menacing voice, and call me filthy names!! WAIT, I need to put on my gimp suit first.
Eh, I don’t know that this is something we need to gatekeep about to be honest. “Comms” doesn’t really roll off the tongue so if people want to keep saying “subs” I’m not going to correct them, it’s not like anyone would misconstrue what they mean. Plus we can’t even settle for a name amongst ourselves with Mbin keeping on referring to them as “magazines”.
Sub-comms. 😎
Same. I call them comms, I’ve seen someone call them munnis which I thought was cute and more fun to say, but a bit less intuitive, but I’m not gonna correct anyone :)
Sub is fine to me in both contexts. sub(scriptions) or sub(forums) but “sublemmy” or variation just feel forced to me
What if we refer to them as cums?
I think that’s phonetically correct.

LMAO guys please don’t do this. I don’t want this to be my legacy.
Too, late hombre. Now share with us your favourite Lemmy cums.
Karma = cum
All these cumwhores on /c/lemmyshitpost
I’m tagging you as Lemmy cum.
Good idea!
JFC LOL
You only have yourself to blame.
“I prefer to use my social media my way, alone!”
When someone refers to a community as a ‘comm’, they’re just trying to make ‘fetch’ happen.
If you hit me up on ‘comms’, I’m gonna need a radio; that’s what the word means, if you’ve been alive any time in the last 100 years.
that’s what the word means
“You can’t use X word like that because [It’s made up|That’s not what it means|It means something else]” argument is always incredibly weak.
At its very core, language is dynamic, words come, go and change all the time. It’s how it works. Languages that don’t change, die.
On top of that, words can have multiple meanings that are dependent on context.
Wouldn’t that also apply to calling them subs? Like, maybe it’s technically a community and not a sub-[item], but everyone knows what is meant by it.
We as a group stopped using ‘subs’ to distance ourselves from reddit. Had they not been as shitty as they were, we might still be using their terminology
Speak for yourself, I’m not so obsessed with reddit that i need to make up new words just to price I’m not obsessed with reddit.
Yeah, but reclaiming “sub” would just be an example of language being dynamic. Unless someone is calling the communities “subreddits” I don’t think there should be this divisive issue about it.
Use sub if you want, or not if you dislike the term.
Yeah I’m not telling anybody they can’t do it. I’m just positing my theory why we moved so quickly away from the old term.
Sorry, my reply was more directed at the original commenter, but that would make sense.
/c/onstabularies
this just makes me want a sandwich
I sometimes forget tbh.
Comms is a pretty good word imo.
I just hate when anyone uses a name that signifies they use some site - lemmings, imgurians, redditors, whatever. I am no more a lemming than I am a reader for reading books or an eater for having dinner.
how do people get lemming? I always assumed it was Lemmy.
:D
Also when people say “substack” instead of newsletter, even about their own. Like, have some self respect – you’re doing all the work.
why do you give a shit… are we acting like this isn’t costco reddit
It isn’t, if we wanted that we would have made sure that it is owned by one big company and doesn’t have separate instances.
that’s not what it meant but ok
Oh, I get what you meant. It’s cause of all the fantastic cheap hot dogs here, right?
it just means off brand, didn’t think people would take the Costco name so literally
I’m ok with subs because you subscribe to communities, but yeah I have had to unlearn some habits from reddit
Using “lemmings” is arguably more wrong - there are plenty of people on the fediverse who are not using lemmy.
fedfellows
Fedows
Feds
Fedophiles
FEDoras?
M’Feddit
Excellent [counter-]point.
Coms on lemmy, mags on mbin/kbin.
It’s coms guys not comms. You could do commune or commy or commies or just plain them dem reds too
'unities
I’ve been saying “munis” and it seems to work fine
‘munis’ stresses the correct syllable, but it’s also short for ‘municipalities’. E.g Muni Gov.
that’s not necessarily a problem in this context
Oh I like munis
It’s clearly CUMmunity
Why? Is your mom here?
