What do we call the Lemmy/Kbin Universe? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

The lemmyverse sounds perfect, but it ignores alternatives like kbin etc. It would be better if we didn't end up with the situation we have with Mastodon where people assume Mastodon is the fediverse.

So, what do we call this little niche in the fediverse?

Communiverse? FediGroups?

@maegul @comfy
The term open-source is well known and favorable
Why not say, open-source social media where the consumer has choice and control

Maybe the Social Web?

because that would also cover sites like Dreamwidth and AO3 that don't aren't decentralized so aren't concsidered part of the fediverse.
