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!

    Lemmy users are lemmings

    I think Piefed users can be called Piefeddites

    Piefeeders PieFeds(like federal agent) piffids piefedditors pies magpies

    Its a hard one for names, maybe the name should come from the instance like blarj users.

    I think refering to people on piefed as feds without context would be hilarious.

    Pie feds aka “the feds”

    It's Lemmings not Lemmites, so keeping that same energy... Piefeedings? Piefeddings? I think Piefedders sounds better, though none of them are great.

    However, Piefed does have fed in it like fediverse, so it's not a bad name, just hard to riff off of.

    Fatties?

    This seems like as good a time as any to plug !pies@piefed.social for everything pie-related.

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

    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

    Meta did try to make "Threads", but (a) it failed miserably and (b) use of that term on Lemmy predates Meta trying to steal it. We don't need to let them define us! And all the more so if there's no better word - the next runner up in polls iirc is Forumverse, but people vastly prefer Threadiverse.:-)

    Pied pipers. Or just pipers. Piepers?

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

    Slices, because they're a part of the pie.

  • source
  • [–] 6 points 1 year 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 ;)

    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.

    Serious answer, piefedians, fedians or piens for short.

    Fun answer: pie-ons (peons), or of you want to separate the lurkers from the contributors, you have pie-eaters and pie-mongers

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

    You must construct additional pieons

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