It gets tiring to write Piefed/Lemmy/Mbin to call our part of the Fediverse, is Threadiverse now the accepted term?

The only concern I've seen with the name is that Facebook named their thing "Threads", and so it might be confusing for people familiar with that.
I still use the term 🤷
Ahhh that was the problem! Okay I kinda understand. But I think we can refuse to let that asshole company steal words like Meta, Face & Book, Threads, etc. and act as if that was their invention.
But yeah I just kept using threadiverse because I feel like everyone here understands exactly what it is and others use it too. If people wouldn't I wouldn't use it I guess :)
Edit: gonna start shortening that to TV so I can just tell everyone "saw that on TV"

I used to say "Welcome to Lemmy" to new joiners, but nowadays quite a few of them join Piefed instance, having a generic term is easier
You can't follow Mastodon users from Lemmy or Piefed, using "Fedivers" seems too generic

I prefer forumverse. Or more inventive : Verse
On !fediverse@piefed.social i created flair to categorize :
- forum software : threadiverse
- media software as pixelfed, peertube, vernissage : mediaverse
- blog : fediblog
...
But i think it is confusing and do not help a lot 🥹

I use Fediverse as threads is tied to meta

Personally I hate "verse" lingo.
I get that. It's like every political conspiracy is a "-gate". But its a useful shorthand, and thats what the term needs.
Every time I explain it to someone, I roll my eyes a little at those terms, but thats what it's called... It sounds so marketing. Trying to tell someone "join the Fediverse" feels like selling a cult, a little, lol
I may ask my wife if she'll let me set up something for her to scroll other than TikTok, though. She's not the type to dive into new stuff like this without good reason, but if I just go "here's your app, all set up with stuff you'll generally enjoy!" maybe it'll drag her off that godawful site.

Sure, although those terms are buzzwords only, not marketing speak. Like blogiverse, definitely not marketing.
The marketing term the Social Web Foundation wants to put forward is "Open Social Web", but that encompasses more than the threaded softwares (includes Mastodon, Peertube, etc.)

Gemini is both the Google AI and the network protocol, it seems clear which one you’re referring to depending on context

Arguably the context is very similar - it makes it seem like Threads is part of the "Threadiverse". AFAIK it's not? The fact that I don't know is rather telling.

Just call it Fediverse.
Fediverse can be part. Fediverse can be all. Fediverse is the all that federates with the bit. Fediverse ought. Fediverse will be. It's even on Poob. Poob will federate it for you. Poob will federate it for you.

It doesn't make sense to tell someone "Welcome to the Fediverse" when they join Piefed or Lemmy as they can't follow Mastodon or Sharkey users

!piefed_meta@piefed.social has nothing to do with the Meta company

I, uh, don't know what you're trying to say. I was talking about support for the ActivityPub protocol.

Except that, apparently you can? A recent post I made on Lemmy had replies from Mastodon accounts afaict

Interacting with Lemmy threads from Mastodon is easy, the inverse not so much

Lemmy and Mastodon can interact (yay federation!) but you can't follow microblog users from Lemmy.
Up until recently, communities couldn't follow other communities, because it's just not a "thing" Lemmy or Piefed do. Users follow communities, yeah?
Except NodeBB tries to have communities follow communities. :)

Yep only Mbin achieve that :3

I was referring to this comment ( https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/21052151 )
And the word meta itself is used for meta communities on the Threadiverse which have nothing to do with Meta the company. Words existed before companies took them.

I mean I call the fediverse the federation so I guess I should call it the threaderation

@dansup I missed this the first time. Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm so impressed with the good work you've done. And I love using Pixelfed!

@informapirata @bonfire @fediverso è quello il guaio: oggi se non hai una comunicazione efficace, puoi avere l'idea di inventare il mondo, ma non ne sei in grado. Io voglio capirlo perché casomai accenno a bonfire nel talk al #WCPISA

@informapirata@mastodon.uno ora è più chiaro !! a me sembrava semplicemente uno nuova piattaforma per il microblogging , invece è qualcosina di più thanks @bonfire@indieweb.social @fediverso@feddit.it @elettrona@poliversity.it
-
@peppenamir in generale diciamo che @bonfire è in grado di gestire diverse funzionalità: task, topic, lavagne kanban, addirittura marketplace e (se non ho capito male) versioning.
Social e topic sono già coperte dal supporto Activitypub, il resto non so.
Il punto più importante però è che Bonfire vuole diventare una sorta di framework di sviluppo per software federati: vuoi creare un software federato? Invece che farlo da zero puoi creare un modulo di Bonfire

@informapirata@mastodon.uno @elettrona@poliversity.it @bonfire@indieweb.social @fediverso@feddit.it mi unisco al club di quelli che non hanno capito il progetto 😬

@elettrona confermo che non è facilissimo capire bene il linguaggio con cui gli sviluppatori di @bonfire esprimono il loro progetto comunicativo 🤣
La comunicazione al momento è uno dei principali punti critici del loro progetto

I guess a mirror cube (it's how it is called, usually it came with gold or silver sticker) can be a cheap substitute.
Sighted people buy it because unscrambled, on a table, it looks great

@AleF2050 questo rischio semplicemente non c'è. Bonfire è il progetto di sostenitori del software libero pensato per utenti liberi, non dai Tech Bros in cerca di finanziatori di Wall Street. Bonfire infatti è finanziato da fondi europei e non dai fondi di investimento. Si tratta di un progetto completamente diverso
