When you're going from thread to thread and digging deep into content, we can call that going down a k hole.

I second kbinators!
This one was actually suggested by Bing Chat. It said "Kbinators: A name that sounds cool and futuristic, and also hints at the idea of combining or aggregating different types of content."
KapyBaras
Binnie baby
KBinners.
Kabineers
Users. I'm boring but stop with the corny reddit nonsense, ugh.
Versers. Or another user suggested Fedinauts.
Both are platform agnostic and bear no resemblance to "Reddit"

Those of us who just joined are referred to as Beanie babies.
Binsters.
Had no clue who I was signing up with at the time. I guess I'm a Lemmy World.
A world lemming
I mentioned to my SO about kbin. Since then she refers to it as Kevin.
Whatever you feel in your heart, honestly. I like kbeans myself
I like kbinaut and k-beans
I have seen kbinauts used before. Credit to some guy.
kBits? or kboy/kgirl?
kbbles and kbits.

We had that thread a week ago and someone suggested kabaneros.
I don't care what y'all decide, I'm gonna go with that one.
Nah nah. The underlying is called “Lemmy”. So we’re lemmings…
See this is a problem because some people think the fediverse revolves around lemmy. It doesn't, and nor does it revolve around kbin (which is where this discussion you're viewing in lemmy is originating from). We're in the fediverse and any name should reflect that. But also, there's zero chance I'm ever going to refer to myself as a kbinaut or fedinaut, or k-bean. That's so cringe. It feels like snoo all over again. Kbinners is a natural and non try-hard name if you must refer specifically to kbin users but I don't see any reason for establishing or encouraging tribalism within the fediverse. I haven't seen a general fediverse or threadiverse name I particularly like yet. I'm kind of a fan of threader, threaditor or something like that though.
Lemmy is not the underlying technology anyway.
