Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

What is a Fediverse Galaxy?

As more and more instances are providing multiple services under the same management, we need a term to talk about this type of arrangement. A Fediverse Galaxy is a collection of federated software that is provided by the same admin or collective.

@fediverse If you have any feedback on this idea I am just now playing with it. The term was mentioned months ago by @e and it had resonated with me since then and I have been wanting to try to give it a more formal definition since then. This is an idea in progress and I welcome any feedback you may have. Is this a useful concept to work on? Should we come up with a different name?

@liaizon @fediverse @e Like the idea very much!
On a side note: What I could need is an actual easy to understand "what is this even". I'm probably not the target audience but I don't understand the difference between #Mastodon and #calckey for example. and what most of these other tools do. But I'm also somewhat new to social media so maybe it takes time.
