I just thought this might make a fun discussion thread for folks to chat about ideas and make silly pie jokes.
I'm curious to hear what folks think would be fun, or work well!
I thought we were Lemmings.....
Slices
Not too late for PieFed to rename "communities" to "slices"
This is a quite fun one
FOR THE LAST TIMES, LEMMY USERS ARE LEMMINGS. also, I got a good name for the american piefed users!
I thought Lemmy users were lemmings.
I completely forgot "lemmings" 😅😅
I've probably actually seen that one more, I don't know how I forgot it lol
Don't worry about him, he's just an anti-Lemmite
We're Lemmings.
Creampies!
Hmmmmmm
cutie pies
Cutie pies!! 🥹
The only downside is it might not be the most self explanatory
Pie lovers but we are lemmings.
Slices, because they're a part of the pie.
Pie feds aka “the feds”
Feds
I choose not to differentiate the two. I think we are all part of the same group
It's home instances that we are tribal about more than software interface.
Threadiverse = the subset of the Fediverse based on threaded conversations, applies to Lemmy, PieFed, Mbin, also nodeBB and somewhat flarum
Piefeddites
I have been using "Pie-heads", b/c we are just crazy enough to make that work! :-P
And the network of Lemmy + PieFed + Mbin (+ nodeBB + flarum) as the "Threadiverse", distinct from the wider Fediverse that also includes Mastodon, PixelFed, etc.
The fact that you name dropped NodeBB (a good example), Flarum (which has no working federation), but did not mention Discourse (which has only partially working federation and limited threadiverse support) gives me the warm and fuzzies 🤣
We have become The Feds!
phis
Pythonidae?
It doesn’t sound very nice, I prefer the others’ suggestions: cutie pie, magpie, slice, etc.
Piefkes
Fatties?
After being fed so many pies
I was thinking about that too. And you know what? After taking part in Mastodon, then Lemmy, now PieFed and discovering PeerTube I now more identify as a Fediverse user than a user of one of the parts
Fediversling/Fediverser lacks an unofficial-official name too, btw ;)
I'm thinking 'Fedder.'
One who Feds.
Piefeeders PieFeds(like federal agent) piffids piefedditors pies magpies
Its a hard one for names, maybe the name should come from the instance like blarj users.
Magpies seems very cute, but like my other favorite so far, might not be super self explanatory
I think refering to people on piefed as feds without context would be hilarious.
Sorry, I thought the joke was implicit in your question, but the analog to "Lemmites" is "Piefites" which I think is just fine because say it out loud.
You know what, piefites is a good neutral option!
If there's a joke in saying it out loud or something my sleepy brain isn't finding it
"Pie fights"
Pierats.
I'm sure some of them are pieholes.
Glowies /j
"the best" :3
Piefedophiles
ಠ︵ಠ
In my opinion: Lemmy is the name of the network, Piefed is simply the best way of accessing the network. Thus, most Piefed users are still Lemmings.
Tbf ActivityPub is the name of the protocol, and Fediverse is the name of the network, though is too generic so many of us have taken to calling us the "Threadiverse", for threaded-based conversational format (Lemmy + Mbin + PieFed + nodeBB + flarum), as distinct from the user-centric Mastodon, the image-based Pixelfed, video-based Loops (not federated yet iirc), etc. Notably though, while it is not so easy, people can send messages between these e.g. from Mastodon to Lemmy (or PieFed) and vice versa.
Lemmy users are lemmings
I think Piefed users can be called Piefeddites
What about piefediles?
