It is not Lemmy or kbin, it is the fediverse. (kbin.social)

I don't think many people understand that if they use Lemmy or kbin, they are posting to the fediverse. There are other platforms and will be more to come. Referring to a post on "Lemmy" or "kbin" is like saying you saw a post on your Windows or Mac computer.

We should be referring to it as...

I saw it on the fediverse.
Hey fediverse users ...
A thread on the fediverse...

New terms may emerge but referring to the platform seems weird, almost ignorant.

edit: A better example is email. You wouldn't assume everyone is on Hotmail because that is the email provider you use. You say I'm sendingan eamail, not I'm sending a Hotmail.

Depends if you’re referring to where it was, or whereby you saw it. “I saw it on lemmy,” could simply mean - “I was browsing the fediverse via Lemmy, whence I happened upon the content in question. Being aware of your proclivities and tastes, I reasoned you mightst enjoy it as well, and so without delay or further contemplation on the matter, I forwarded posthaste to you this here internet link, which shall take you directly to the content of which I speak, though perhaps not by way of the Lemmy route of which I hath spake.”
