So are we Fedditors, Lemmites, Kbinites?

What about those who post here (and to Lemmy) from Mastodon? Or from Calckey or Bookwyrm?
Maybe we don't need to adopt Reddit culture at all? surprisedpikachu.jpg

We are the Federati

We're humans. Let's embrace that instead of trying to label in- and outgroups 😊

Coming up with a name is pretty nerdy to be honest. Might as well go full nerd and call us Star Fleet because we're a part of the Federation

No shade to lemmy instances, but definitely not Lemmites. There's an unhealthy trend right now to reduce the fediverse to just Lemmy (and lemmy.world, more specifically) that we should not encourage.

Beans.

I thought we settled on Kbinauts.

Though I love how we're having this discussion every 4-5 days at the moment because of the rate we're growing and the number of us who weren't here yet the last time it was discussed! :)

Vulcan prefers Kbinauts (even with the bird logo)

This whole 'we need a name and a mascot' deal has big 'Stop trying to make Fetch happen' vibes.

"Posters" will do. I don't really want to be stamped with a brand. I'm just a guy who happens to post stuff on the internet. My Mastodon posts are posts (not toots), my Kbin posts are likewise posts (not bins, although some might argue that they belong in one).

This thread from a couple of weeks ago (specifically for kbin users) attempted to answer the same question. 'Kbinauts' seems to be the favourite but personally I think 'Kbinners' ('KTrashcans' for the yanks) best.

I was a fan of Kbinauts, but then the zeitgeist moved super fast once that bird logo got introduced.

Then voting went up for a name for the lil birdie, and surprisingly Kibby came out on top, but alongside Kebin and Bink. The poll for that should still be up over in m/redditmigration I think.

Now that I think about it, I don't see our name as netizens arising from the name of the mascot, just like how at reddit no one called themselves a derivative of "snoo."

Actually quite like Fedditors. Acknowledges where most of us came from, while being something different. Can also be interpreted as 'feck-reddit-ors'. Is good.

Federati, Fedizens for general Fediverse, which includes Mastodon, Pixelfed, Calckey, Lemmy....etc... Lemmings for Lemmy users, Kbinauts for Kbin users.

I suggest Threadites (pronounced as rhyming with Deadites) as collective for Lemmy, Kbin, Beehaw and whatever other Fediverse Forum programs join the Threadiverse.

Kboners

K Holes 🤣

Kboomers

Kbeans

Kbinauts

I imagine if the kbin bird gets a name we'd follow along so either, Kibbies/Binks/Kebins?

kbinauts is what I see

My guess is that each platform will have its own smaller names applied to it (e.g. kbinners, lemmites, etc.) and each variant will be interchangeable, then as things settle down and the dust clears, there would be a more common, less "exclusive" name like "posters" as someone mentioned. The email comparison comes to mind, we don't go around calling each other "gmailers" or "outlookers", but addresses or emails.

Yeah we are Kbinners.

Kbizzles

Kbinese

I think of myself as a citizen of the fediverse.

kbeans and lemmings sounds the most cute to me :) haven’t heard a similar one for feddit yet

How ‘bout kbinions?

I think kbin users should be called Oscars, after Oscar the grouch, (lived in a bin for 50 years).

Karbines!

Threaditarians. Threadites. Threaditors.

I think of myself a Binster

Fediversers, activitypubers?

@goryramsy I like "Lemmies", as it reminds me Lemmings.
