Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

What do we call the Lemmy/Kbin Universe? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

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?

Yea I know. I guess the idea was that it's the part of the fediverse that starts with threads rather than adds them to a social network. I couldn't think of any better term for a "post + comments" structure ... ?

yeah, i've come around to it as a working name. kbin bridges between the threadiverse and the "feediverse" or whatever to call it.

Thought of Converse.

But a pity about the other meanings of "Converse" than "Conversation; familiar discourse or talk; free interchange of thoughts or opinions."
