Or another term which is more descriptive. This is the first thing people see when they type in Lemmy

Digg and Reddit invented the terminology and I don't think people are unfamiliar with it.

    I vaguely remember the term from yCombinator which is exclusively links and does not have communities.

    Even when using Reddit for many years in the past I never heard the term. It seems like Reddit too realized that it was not a good term for marketing.

    According to NATOpedia Reddit is also a forum and "social news aggregation platform

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reddit

    Reddit (/ˈrɛdɪt/ ⓘ RED-it) is an American proprietary social news aggregation and forum social media platform.
