On a more serious note (compared to my previous comments), I don't think this is a good idea. While it has the best of intentions, it only leads to further fragmention and confusion.

Jk. I think forumverse works fine, i guess. Threadi sounds weirder imo but that's just personal opinion

I've seen Feddit around to I'm not sure how I feel about it.

The Reddit-like structure of Lemmy, Mbin and I guess Piefed* make them kind of the Alaska of the Fediverse; they're not really connected to the rest of it. The other platforms without the community structures interoperate; you can comment on a Peertube video from a Pixelfed account...but that doesn't work with Lemmy and I'm not convinced I've ever interacted with Mbin.

*I just can't keep up with all the meaningless names I'm expected to remember. Hell I can't do it for people. "You know who Jim Flinnigan is?" "No I don't." "He's the freshman state congressman from Wisconsin who's proposing the controversial pecan legislation." "Oh the nut bill guy. What about him?" -1/4th of every conversation with my father, because Jim Flinnigan could be a work buddy of his, someone somewhere in Hollywood in the last 90 years, or the Wisconsin nut bill guy. "You know who Flinn Jimmigan is, right?" "No I don't." "He was Edith Head's optometrist in the 60's." On top of that, there's hardware manufacturers, the trade names for their products, commercial software apps, open source apps, a new javascript framework comes out three times a leap second...

For some reason I've never been very drawn to the name Lemmy.

Maybe because it sounds too similar to lemon? I don't know but there's just something off about it to me...

I like some of the alternatives that have been suggested so far, but struggling to come up with my own. Here's some really dumb and nonsensical ones:
