Did you just call it the "Threadiverse"?? dafuq?
I found out about that term yesterday. It means lemmy/kbin. And only those two together.
Idk
Might be part of why Facebook co-opted "threads"
FB had a different app called threads two years ago, which was a direct messenger that sent videos or something. Not sure why they recycled the name.
I don't know. The oldest I could find of the threadiverse was a month ago. FB has been working on threads since January. It's possible though, and I wouldn't be surprised.
Hopefully someone with more info will chime in.
It started popping up after Kbin became a thing and a term was needed for link aggregators together.
They actually had a previous app called βThreadsβ that they canned like a year ago. It was an instagram messaging app iirc
They're both reddit-like. Pretty much an independent part of the fediverse so it's good to have a term for them
That's literally what it's called
Huh. Weird.
