Is there a way to sort all Threadiverse communities by number of subscribers? : fediverse

Threadiverse is basically used to refer to the Reddit-like part of the Fediverse, and the reason it's needed is essentially Kbin. Even though they use the same protocol (and are more similar than say, Lemmy and Mastodon), Kbin is a completely different piece of software written in a different language (PHP). So just calling it Lemmy misses out on those 60k+ users. And saying Fediverse includes Mastodon and PeerTube etc etc as well.

Threadiverse is the Lemmy side of the fediverse.

@Adanisi
I suppose it refers to Threads. Not so far from treason. So, we can call Threadiverse the gathering of betrayers who use Threads as if it were a part of the Fediverse.

Hi there! The links in your response are not clickable for Lemmy users, here are the clickable versions: !fediverse@lemmy.world

Meta unfortunately decided to call their platform a very basic name, the same name as a core feature of Kbin and Lemmy.

PixelFed, Friendica, Peertube, and Mastodon (all part of the fediverse) don't really use comment threads (Mastodon sort of does) but for Kbin and Lemmy it's basically the most unique part of it, other than being a filter for various links to other pages. So they are often refered to the part of the fediverse that uses comment threads.

But no one was calling it that 2 weeks ago.

I'm not sure why you'd say such a thing. Here's some examples I found just by searching "threadiverse" on my instance.

What's funny is that if Threads became part of the Fediverse, it would be in the non-Threadiverse category.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I recommend Lemmyverse

They can sort by subscribers.

It is not the Threadiverse. Its the Fediverse. Threads isn't even federated.

[–] Undearius@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Kbin and Lemmy have been referred to as the threadiverse for much longer than Meta's Threads has been around, even before it was known only as Project 92.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I mean, we are on a community called Fediverse. I'm rather new here but it seems Fediverse won that debacle.

[–] Undearius@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

What debacle? The threadiverse is one part of the fediverse.

[–] platysalty@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

I can't believe they hijacked the name in one weekend.

[–] luthis@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 years ago

It doesnt work for me either, even though the mouse icon changes on hover

Fediverse
