What do we call the equivalent of a subreddit?

Sublemmy doesn’t quite roll off of the tongue as nicely.

Reddit wants you to call them communities too, but most people still call them subreddits or subs.

Communities - they’re abbreviated to /c/ and that seems a pretty consistent term.

They are called communities or coms for short on Lemmy, and they’re magazines or mags on Mbin/Kbin.

You just answered your own question in the title, you call them communities. It’s what they are called by the Lemmy-UI software, and also why they have the /c/ prefix in their URLs.
