Many Lemmy instances have "feddit" in their name. Is that just "federated reddit" or am I missing something?

Yeah, you answered yourself there. "Federated Reddit"

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.de 27 points 2 years ago

Pretty sure it was just meant as a tongue-in-cheek reference to reddit.

Yup! It's just a joke referencing reddit, that's all there is to it as far as I know.

[–] Glitchington@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

I've always read it as a mix of "Federated Reddit" and "Fed up with Reddit".

They are run by the feds. Duh.

Is that why it's called "FEDiverse"?
