  • Communities is the official term which I use. I’m not a stickler so you can call them sublemmies, sublems, subworlds, subhaws, subs, whatever. I know people here would rather disassociate from that site that many migrated away from.

    I liked the idea of burrows, so if you have creative terms for it people tend to appreciate it. Yeehive was another cute idea over on Beehaw.

    On your server, you can use server/c/community_name (e.g. lemmy.world/c/asklemmy ). A more commonly accepted approach now is to use !community_name@server (e.g. [email protected]).




  • Hey, thanks for being honest about it.

    You’re right, the sheer size of Reddit means it’s hard to deny that the variety of discussion topics is much greater than on Lemmy. The decentralized servers model also means it’s slightly more difficult to find and grow small communities.

    What I like though is that in general, posters on Lemmy, even the ones that repost old memes from elsewhere, try to genuinely engage with other commentors.





  • Well, companies can’t hire you if you don’t apply. Do your best and make them all tell you no, rather than expecting it and not trying.

    Just know that it’s often not your fault your application didn’t make it through. It’s half an exhausting lottery. I’ve had pristinely written CV and letter with family and career counselors editing it not get anything, and applications where I found spelling mistakes after were interested in interviewing. Companies tend to have hiring seasons where if you apply at a consistent pace, you’ll get no answers some months and many answers at other times.

    Even recruiting itself is a hellscape, you see corps getting recruiters, laying them off because “they don’t need em anymore”, then all of sudden they need more staff but way more than the recruiters they have can handle.
