I've seen Feddit around to I'm not sure how I feel about it.
-Fediread? And we could distinguish the others aspects of the fediverse servers: -Fediblog : Mastodon, Pleroma, etc. -Fediphoto: Pixelfed -Fedivideo: Peertube
Just call it Lemmy people need a simple name and Lemmy is fun to say
It's fun until people bring up that the main devs political positions are debatable https://github.com/dessalines/essays/blob/main/socialism_faq.md#whats-going-on-with-the-uyghurs
And I said debatable because I have no strong opinion on the matter. That would make me a lib for some people, a leftist for others, I don't really care.
What I've seen is that argument is regularly brought up by detractors of the platform, which is why I always insist on saying that Piefed and Mbin are compatible and managed by other development teams
If someone is putting their manifesto on GitHub you can safely just disregard everything they say as crackpot nonsense tbh
We're on Lemmy. We are Lamingtons.

Social net.
Two words everyone understands. Also the two ideas that make the fediverse what it is.
That's... really cool actually 😎
But is it perhaps too generic?
Also that sounds like a replacement for Fediverse rather than Threadiverse/Forumverse.
Still, social.net would be a great name for a new Fediverse instance? It almost kinda is already, in discuss.online.:-)
Lemmy
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
Oh for sure. Both having implemented the ActivityPub protocol and being interoperable on the Threadiverse/Fediverse is a huge deal.
But I wouldn't go so far as to say that PieFed works on the Lemmyverse (technically that would be true, but also the reverse as well).
PieFed is its own whole entirely separate and distinct deal from Lemmy. Unlike e.g. Beehaw that is just an instance running old Lemmy software, or Tesseract being an alternate front-end for a Lemmy back-end.
Similarly Mbin has very little to do with Lemmy in this manner of speaking as well, just interrelating on the Fediverse, but via its own entirely distinct implementation of the ActivityPub protocol there too.

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.
Beehaw is like college Queers. Blahaj has the vibe of older ones.
Former would also yell at me for using the word Queer. They can get used to it.
