I was curious what to call the sub communities on Lemmy because I would assume they are not called subreddits. Are they called sublemmies or lemmlits? Thanks for the help!

They’re called “communities,” hence the “c/”.

BTW, c/asklemmy is expressly not a community for questions about Lemmy. Please read a community’s rules before posting.
