        I think the problem is people say lemmy when they mean either. My cheat sheet.

        Fediverse: a family of applications that are able to communicate with each other and provide various facilities.

        Threadiverse: subset of the fediverse, any federated program providing content aggregation / forum facilities.

        Lemmy: the main established application in the genre. Providing a primarily content aggregation and forum redditesque experience.

        Kbin: newer project providing the news aggregation and forum features but also micro logging that works with mastadon.

        Others I don’t know about but do exist.
