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?

I think when talking colloquially to a broader audience, "reddit-like" is good enough.

When talking internally, I don't know, "link aggregator" doesn't really describe what these are to me at all. I wouldn't call reddit a "link aggregator" it doesn't really fit what reddit is (many posts don't have links??).

I think the essential differentiator of reddit is the voting.
