Eh, I don't know that this is something we need to gatekeep about to be honest. "Comms" doesn't really roll off the tongue so if people want to keep saying "subs" I'm not going to correct them, it's not like anyone would misconstrue what they mean. Plus we can't even settle for a name amongst ourselves with Mbin keeping on referring to them as "magazines".

Sub is fine to me in both contexts. sub(scriptions) or sub(forums) but "sublemmy" or variation just feel forced to me

What if we refer to them as cums?

I think that's phonetically correct.

Sub-comms. 😎

Same. I call them comms, I've seen someone call them munnis which I thought was cute and more fun to say, but a bit less intuitive, but I'm not gonna correct anyone :)
