The lemmyverse sounds perfect, but it ignores alternatives like kbin etc. It would be better if we didn’t end up with the situation we have with Mastodon where people assume Mastodon is the fediverse.

So, what do we call this little niche in the fediverse?

Communiverse? FediGroups?

    Ha yea … the elephant in the room is that we probably just want to define ourselves as “Not-Mastodon”.

    Even though /kbin is a fusion of platform formats (which I think is awesome BTW), the underlying common factor is the primary basis of connecting or socialising.

    IN the case of reddit/lemmy/kbin/link aggregators etc … it’s subject matters and interests, not direct person-to-person social connections (which aren’t even possible on lemmy). It’s a significant difference IMO, and well worth trying to package in a memorable catchphrase or term. I just don’t know what it’d be (my best idea being “threadiverse”, which doesn’t capture this idea at all really).

      Yeah, I’d love to setup a /kbin instance at some point, it seems pretty nice.

      Yeah… I’m not good at naming things lol
