A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I think the concept of the Fediverse is still really alien to people, even the people who are using it. Everyone is still so used to their centralized platforms, so they still think of the Fediverse in terms of platforms rather than as a whole.
You still hear people say "Mastodon" to mean the microblogging corner of the Fediverse even if they're not actually on Mastodon, and now people say "Lemmy" to mean the link aggregation corner of the Fediverse even if not everyone is actually on Lemmy.
Are you saying there's other reddit-like/inspired webservices that are part of the fediverse that aren't Lemmy? What are those?
Currently kbin is the only one I am aware of.
Kbin already exists, and a decent portion of people are switching over. It's still early days though, so it remains to be seen how it all plays out.
I recently found and like the term "threadiverse" for reddit-like federated software
I really like that, I'm gonna do my part to spread it!
