Context: I made a poll on PieFed about the new post flairs (so if you are one of the few hundred people who have a PieFed account, follow that link and answer there). Unfortunately Lemmy has neither polls nor post flairs, so this post is to open up the discussion to the wider Fediverse, or rather the subset of it that encompasses Lemmy + Mbin + PieFed, which is called… what exactly?

Is Threadiverse too traumatic & tainted by association with Meta’s (all but entirely defunct) Threads? Is The Verse too cool/poetic/nerdy (but niche) to be understood? I highly advise against Lemmyverse bc mainstream normal people are far less tolerant of tankies than we who are here are willing to put up with. Simply listing the software available sometimes is the best option - like the Interstellar app supports all of Lemmy + Mbin + PieFed, but most support at best 1 or 2 of those - but usually is too long to say and does not roll off the tongue, plus will just keep growing as time goes on. Is Forumverse thus the least bad of the available options, or perhaps you have a better idea? 💡

Anyway, the start to a listing:

  1. Threadiverse
  2. Forumverse
  3. (The) Verse
  4. Lemmy + Mbin + PieFed
  5. Something else?

    Hmm… I like the -ville suggestion. #Threadiville perhaps?

    • The #Fediverse is the “universe”.
      • The -ville is the “local group”.
        • The various software are the “galaxies”.
          • The instances are the “planets”.

    So:

    • Fediverse
      • Threadiville local group
        • Mbin galaxy
          • Fedia IO planet
        • Kbin galaxy
          • Kbin social planet
        • Nodebb galaxy
        • Lemmy galaxy
          • Lemmy World planet
      • Microville local group
        • Mastoforks galaxy
        • Pleroma galaxy
      • Writingville local group
        • Plume galaxy
        • WriteFreeny galaxy
        • Ghost galaxy
      • Faceville local group
        • Friendica galaxy
        • -key forks galaxy
      • CMSville local group
        • Hubzilla galaxy
        • Drupal galaxy
        • Wordpress galaxy
