It is not Lemmy or kbin, it is the fediverse. ( kbin.social )
I don't think many people understand that if they use Lemmy or kbin, they are posting to the fediverse. There are other platforms and will be more to come. Referring to a post on "Lemmy" or "kbin" is like saying you saw a post on your Windows or Mac computer.
We should be referring to it as...
- I saw it on the fediverse.
- Hey fediverse users ...
- A thread on the fediverse...
New terms may emerge but referring to the platform seems weird, almost ignorant.
edit: A better example is email. You wouldn't assume everyone is on Hotmail because that is the email provider you use. You say I'm sendingan eamail, not I'm sending a Hotmail.
