    The three -verse terms I’ve heard in use are:

    • Fediverse: All the (ActivityPub-based) federated services with at least some degree of interoperability between each other
    • Threadiverse: Subset of fediverse focused on threads-based discussion, like link aggregation/forums-style (as opposed to i.e. microblogging)
    • Lemmyverse: Subset of threadiverse specifically running Lemmy (as opposed to i.e. Kbin)

      Lemmyverse doesn’t really make sense, as it would all be visible from Kbin instances (unless they are all defederated).

      What would make sense is a term for the “microblogverse”, referring to all the posts from Mastodon/Miskey/Kbin/etc. This makes up the majority of the Fediverse, but it’s mostly invisible to Lemmy users.

        As a Kbin user, microblogs definitely are not all the posts we make here. We can both microblog through “Add new post” and make a thread through “Add new link”, “Add new thread”, and “Add new photo”.

          Ah, yeah, sorry - that was badly phrased. I shouldn’t have included Kbin on that list. I’m on Kbin myself, just worded myself poorly. :)
