MODERATORS
 

Basically how reddit would call any given reddit sub-community "sub reddit" or just "sub" for short. I know internally lemmy just calls them 'community' but in a regular conversation 'community' might be interpreted as more broad or too general.

Thinking about it my mind would pretty much automatically go to 'sub lemmy', but then I felt like just shortening it to 'blemmy' has a great ring to it, while still being distinct. So if there isn't already an established name, I'll go ahead and propose 'blemmy'.

A community. That's what they're called everywhere in the UI.
