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 said it before and I'll say it again: call us all "the Feds".

Thanks! It seemed like it might be fun 😊

Hope you have a lovely day!

Pythonidae?

It doesn’t sound very nice, I prefer the others’ suggestions: cutie pie, magpie, slice, etc.

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

Pied pipers. Or just pipers. Piepers?

I'm sure some of them are pieholes.

If we want to keep it silly, then "pie-munchers' gets my nomination.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 1 points 3 days ago

Nom nom nom

[–] INeedMana@piefed.zip 6 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 4 points 3 days ago

A true Fedizen right here. Also Threadizen?

[–] Goodlucksil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 days ago

Piefederates

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 6 points 4 days ago

Pies? Rather simple.

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 6 points 4 days ago (3 children)

I like the idea of pieons, from peon (which I promise I don't mean derogatorily seeing as I'm not on piefed myself)

[–] toomanypancakes@piefed.world 9 points 4 days ago (2 children)

You must construct additional pieons

[–] LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Lmao also the first thing I thought

To be fair, lemming isn’t exactly a positive term

my dyslexia ass will just read “pigeons”

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Pie lovers but we are lemmings.

[–] valen1@mstdn.social 5 points 4 days ago

@Cris_Color Since they're armed with pies, how about "clowns"?

I feel like it would be more relevant to come up with a name for Threadiverse users as a whole. There's really not much to differentiate us as a community between lemmy and piefed.

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I suggested "Fedlings" in the main thread and I think that could work for the fediverse at large.

There's a difference between the fediverse and the Threadiverse, though.

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 2 points 3 days ago

Let me propose "Spinner" because we're making thread.

Example : feddit.org users are Spinner.

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.

Pie peeps occurs to me as a potential option

[–] Alatarius@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Pieonaires comes to mind for me.

I like "Fedlings" personally.
