    I think “sub” is what people are going to call them reguardless. It is just internet language at this point, a subdivision of a community (by community I mean lemmy as a whole) is called a sub. Weather it’s a subreddit or sublemmy. I’m not saying bring reddit with us, I am just saying the internet can take the term “sub” with it and use it elsewhere.

      Imagine how confusing these double definitions are for newcomers.

      • Lemmy: The software and platform, maybe also an individual user
      • instance: a server within
      • community: what OP asked for

      This language is consistent with the user interface and otherwise available documentation.
