Reddit has subreddits. What does Lemmy go with?

My personal vote is for lemmings!

Sublemmy. I know it's uninspired, but we might as well use terminology that people are familiar with. "Community" sounds too vague IMO, it's better to choose a made up word that doesn't have a specific dictionary definition.

Reddit no longer refers to subreddits as subreddits officially, so I say it's free for the taking.
