I used to say “Welcome to Lemmy” to new joiners, but nowadays quite a few of them join Piefed instance, having a generic term is easier
You can’t follow Mastodon users from Lemmy or Piefed, using “Fedivers” seems too generic

Whilst I agree that they shouldn’t, it’s a fact that Threads exists and, as far as I know, is not part of the Threadiverse but is in an adjacent space. To the point where I personally, someone involved in the Fediverse, am not sure whether it communicates with the “Threadiverse”. Mastodon does, for example.
If we were talking about a family of phones called “Threads” then that wouldn’t be all that confusing, but when it’s another social app then it’s a mess.
They do not, at this moment. The moment you see a Facebook Threads user comment here, you’ll be sure everyone will be talking about this.
My confusion and uncertainty was the point. It wasn’t a question.
Is Zuck still using the term Threadiverse? If it was a one-off, then I’d write it off and take back the darn term.
I’ve no idea, but I know Threads still exists. Beyond that I don’t know what they’re up to and what the state of play is in terms of Fediverse integration.
They chose well in terms of trying to poison the well.
