Seriously. Mastodon is just a huge monoculture, and you probably wouldn't be able to tell a user's instance from their comments for example. While forumverse (i'm going to use this now xd) instances feel very defined and not too hard to tell where users are from (except with general instances, that can get hard.

Versed is a bit easier to pronounce

Hold up, I kind of like "Versed".

Lemmy communities and Mbin magazines become "subversed"?

...Eh, it still needs work.

"Converse"? Dang it, a shoe company took that one.

"Fedi-converse"? "Fediversation"? Too long. Let's keep cooking... "Communiverse"?

Not too bad. Even so, still better than "magazine" lol x)

Communalverse maybe?

One letter away from a whole different concept

[–] hitstun@fedia.io 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah, we're not that far left. "Socialverse" maybe?

To be fair, that's mostly because Lemmy is pretty small with just 50K MAUs. It feels more like a large forum than a full on social network.

If Lemmy had 1 M MAUs, I think the instance culture would be a lot less noticeable (national instances notwithstanding).
