      The best part of Linux memes are how much on the edge they are. I am honestly not sure if the Linux community disagrees on the point or if they think that one doesn’t have to be so serious.

      I think a lot of people here are more technical and thus more likely to use or know Linux.

    Is there a simple name that is a good catch-all? Preferably one that’s two syllables? Lemmy is such a simple name, much like Reddit or Twitter. Fediverse and threadiverse i feel just complicate it all

        I like the name Lemmy the most personally, but not every instance is necessarily running Lemmy right? Or are all the different sites like beehaw and kbin and such also running Llemmy?

          Beehaw is another Lemmy instance. Kbin in a different piece of software but it uses the ActivityPub protocol so it can interact with Lemmy.

          Most instances are running Lemmy (the software). Kbin (the software) is an alternative to Lemmy (the software), though they can speak to one another, because they both use the ActivityPub protocol (same as Mastodon, PeerTube, Pixelfed, and so on). Kbin is much younger than Lemmy, but eventually more instances running Kbin will show up.

            But kbin isn’t like a fork or derivative of Lenny right? It’s entirely different? So referring to everything as a whole as Lemmy isn’t really right cause kbin doesn’t even use Lemmy

              Correct, it’s completely different software.

              They were for a few weeks, until today. I’m commenting from Kbin right now.

              Turns out lemmy.ml admins had blocked a lot of bots and “kbinBot” (which is the useragent name used by Kbin for federation requests) was inadvertently among the blocked bots. The lemmy.ml admins took a long time to get it fixed, but it finally works again now.

      I dislike “Fediverse” and “Threadiverse”, because I feel like Meta has left a bad taste in people’s mouths with the previews of their Metaverse, and I imagine that’s probably the first thing most people think of when they hear “Fediverse”. I think they’d be fine names on their own, if not for that.

      Fediverse really sounds like the metaverse but for feds… Not exactly a term i want to associate with

      You can say threadiverse without explaining the fedi part.

          Not that I’m aware of. I think it’s just short for fediverse

        Saying fedi normally includes things like mastodon, peertube, Pixelfed, etc. It doesn’t really convey that someone is specifically talking about the federated Reddit alternatives.

          fair, but they are all part of the same network. I’m not using lemmy, kbin or mastodon. but I can still send messages here

      Yes, since the analogue is GNU/Linux. Though I don’t know if Kbin shares any code with Lemmy.

        Then it’s a bad analogy. Kbin and Lemmy work independently. Linux and GNU are part of the same stack. Like it’s not remotely comparable. They are also written in two different languages so I doubt they share that much code on the backend at least.

          Yup, I completely agree!

          This meme where a stretch to begin with, trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.
