    I know it’s a joke but there are probably users who get genuinely angry and unleash all kinds of undeserved abuse when they see this. Old habits are hard to break, so let’s be human.

      It sounds bad though and it makes me think of subscriptions which are what a subgroup of communities unique to each user.

      I have to remember that each time though it’s happening quite often now.

      I try to let people know gently that they are using the wrong term, which I think is reasonable though I suppose my tone might be misinterpreted.

      I like ‘subfeddit’, or we could go another way and call the something like ‘district’ or ‘constituency’, coz each one has a rep haha
