A community to organize and discuss the growth of the fediverse as a whole
I've thought the same about "link aggregator" on join-lemmy.org, even though it seems like the best two words to use to describe such platforms, it needs further explanation most of the time.
Reddit was hard to market for the same reasons, although they had a pretty good name.
forumnet? Boardpub?
"Fedup"
Link aggregators anonymous
Disqus is actually a quite good name when you think about it
Sounds like disgust
How about 'FediverseLMP', pronounced fediverse+"ehlmp"?
Fuhgeddit
The Reddit-like structure of Lemmy, Mbin and I guess Piefed* make them kind of the Alaska of the Fediverse; they're not really connected to the rest of it. The other platforms without the community structures interoperate; you can comment on a Peertube video from a Pixelfed account...but that doesn't work with Lemmy and I'm not convinced I've ever interacted with Mbin.
*I just can't keep up with all the meaningless names I'm expected to remember. Hell I can't do it for people. "You know who Jim Flinnigan is?" "No I don't." "He's the freshman state congressman from Wisconsin who's proposing the controversial pecan legislation." "Oh the nut bill guy. What about him?" -1/4th of every conversation with my father, because Jim Flinnigan could be a work buddy of his, someone somewhere in Hollywood in the last 90 years, or the Wisconsin nut bill guy. "You know who Flinn Jimmigan is, right?" "No I don't." "He was Edith Head's optometrist in the 60's." On top of that, there's hardware manufacturers, the trade names for their products, commercial software apps, open source apps, a new javascript framework comes out three times a leap second...
Feditriad/feditrinity???
Jk. I think forumverse works fine, i guess. Threadi sounds weirder imo but that's just personal opinion

"Wheel of Fish"
"You should have kept the fish!!!"
"You so stupid!"
Does anybody has a better name other than "fediverse"? I find it pretty terrible due to my native language.
For some reason I've never been very drawn to the name Lemmy.
Maybe because it sounds too similar to lemon? I don't know but there's just something off about it to me...
I like some of the alternatives that have been suggested so far, but struggling to come up with my own. Here's some really dumb and nonsensical ones:
Fediflections Rippleverse Gumbofedi 🤣
Gumbofedi
In line with the Fediverse tradition of having very debatable names 😄
