if I say “nerd social media” my gf know exactly what I’m talking about
The nerdiverse
Just call it “Lemmy”.
Call Mbin, Piefed, and Friendica “Lemmy-compatible”.
I thought about this for a while. Just tell the masses to try Lemmy. It’s the most polished and the easiest to understand.
More techy users who want more can consider other Lemmy-compatible software. There’s Mastodon-compatible software like Sharkey and Iceshrimp but we generally associate microblogs with Mastodon. So, generally associate communities with Lemmy.
Feditriad/feditrinity???
Jk. I think forumverse works fine, i guess. Threadi sounds weirder imo but that’s just personal opinion
I like how this image combines Trinity from The Matrix with a heavy amount of Samuel Jackson from Pulp Fiction, with just a soupçon of Greta Thunberg mixed in:-).
Forumverse isn’t too bad
Fediforums? could have Fediblogs for the masto/microblogging sites
lemmy. come at me kbinners
Beware the Piefed army
What army?
There are dozens of us, dozens!!
Dozens is at best a crowd, not even a horde, hardly an army…
True… but we tend to be dedicated zealots - see e.g. how no k- or mbinners have so far responded to this comment chain yet, while instead multiple people rising to join the PieFed wagon.
Viva La PieFed? 🤪
(In truth we are indeed tiny - for now, but we will rise!)
When the app gains stability, expect your numbers to multiply.
I should download Thunder and check it out in advance:-).
raaarrr
You mean the archive format?

kbinners probably don’t have a working instance to see our convo
Not true! There is a single server, in Poland, with 73 users on it. 😁
The good internet
Eternal August
I generally don’t. I don’t find it to be a useful grouping to reference or discuss.
Try piefed.social
Try Discuss.online
Try beehaw.org
Try programming.dev
I’m always referring to one, never the group.I wouldn’t point them to Beehaw though, their segregated nature and difficult onboarding process make it less welcoming for newcomers to the Fediverse.
lemmy.blahaj.zone is a better choice for people who want LGBTQ friendly spaces.
I think this is a great illustration of my point. I like the culture beehaw.org has established more than what lemmy.blahaj.zone has encouraged. And I don’t particularly care about “the fediverse”. I care about the online communities I engage with.
Everyone is different and I make my recommendation based on what I think the person I’m making recommendations to would like most.
Threadiverse is a terrible name, the most immediate word association is Threads, ostensibly a large corporate competitor, and the most immediate search result is a geeky/nerdy tshirt/merch company.
Better names?
Fuck uh… I dunno.
Lemmyverse
Lemmy and Friends
Reddit Asylum Seekers Club (RASCL?)
The front page of Web 4.0
Fediverse’s Fractious Forums
???
A lot of people from Reddit refuse to come here due to the association with tankies, as evidenced in the name Lemmy.
Also PieFed has little to do with Lemmy, except being interoperable with it, like K/Mbin. And Sublinks will introduce newer even more complicated terminology as in “the instance formerly using Lemmy, now having switched over to Sublinks”:-).
Anyway we already have both Lemmy and Fediverse, so the purpose of this third name is to represent the not-just-Lemmy portion of the Fediverse. Threadiverse is a horrible name… but the only one people seem willing to use. Forumverse?
Threads is dead, maybe we should finally just let it go? Oh, and use of Threadiverse predated that existing in any case. It’s solidly our term, not theirs… if we want it.
PieFed has little to do with Lemmy, except being interoperable with it,
Seems like quite a link to be honest
Social net.
Two words everyone understands. Also the two ideas that make the fediverse what it is.
