idk, fediverse seems fine to me
It is, but we're not really the same kind of platform than Mastodon or Misskey, or Pixelfed or Peertube
Seriously. Mastodon is just a huge monoculture, and you probably wouldn't be able to tell a user's instance from their comments for example. While forumverse (i'm going to use this now xd) instances feel very defined and not too hard to tell where users are from (except with general instances, that can get hard.
Versed is a bit easier to pronounce
Hold up, I kind of like "Versed".
Lemmy communities and Mbin magazines become "subversed"?
...Eh, it still needs work.
"Converse"? Dang it, a shoe company took that one.
"Fedi-converse"? "Fediversation"? Too long. Let's keep cooking... "Communiverse"?
Not too bad. Even so, still better than "magazine" lol x)
Communalverse maybe?
One letter away from a whole different concept
Yeah, we're not that far left. "Socialverse" maybe?
To be fair, that's mostly because Lemmy is pretty small with just 50K MAUs. It feels more like a large forum than a full on social network.
If Lemmy had 1 M MAUs, I think the instance culture would be a lot less noticeable (national instances notwithstanding).
Isn't that a bit of a shame though? I mean the fact that there's so little interconnection between these platforms. I know culturally there isn't too much but also the threadiverse often doesn't federate properly or support the way the rest of the fediverse works.
There are only so many features the developers can work on. I prefer them to focus on the core forum features than perfect microblogging integration
That's fair - but in a perfect world, all these platforms would connect together, right?
Many of them do, but they don't always render as seemingly intended, or federate at all without following certain steps that a GUI does not directly provide instructions for.
