Why not "lemmyverse" for lemmy federation?

Allow people to enjoy their experience here. When you start going down this path, you are confusing the user base that’s still learning a whole new platform. When I first got here, I said a lot of the same stuff, that I was a Lemmy world member, etc.

Are you implying that defederation is a myth? Since the flow of data between instances is conditional on the instances. they are relevant.

You're vastly overestimating the knowledge, intelligence and fucks given by the vast majority of people.

The fediverse is frankly too complex and convoluted for the normies. Whichever instance manages to remove the complexity, solve the onboarding process and get the content right will win out and be the thing the normies speak of.

I like the name fediverse, but I think it's too broad. I think we need a collective name for platforms like Lemmy and KBin (which are more like each other than they are like Mastodon).
