Kbin may be the odd stepchild, but it's part of the family! (feddit.de)

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?

    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.

    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

    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.
