Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

Hey! So, TL;DR, we've been putting in a lot of work to make a podcast for the Fediverse, to go along with our news articles. There's just so much cool stuff happening, and we feel that a podcast format can capture aspects of this that regular articles can't.

The podcast in question features what's going on in the network, what cool things are getting built, and what headaches or problems the people on the network are dealing with. There's a really big emphasis on people building the apps and platforms for this network, along with their personal stories and visions for the network.

Unfortunately, we just aren't sure what to name it. We have a few good ideas, but we'd like to turn it over to the community to either vote on one of the names, or recommend something better, if anybody can think of one.

We have a super short survey here: https://cloud.wedistribute.org/apps/forms/s/cPsT7WNs8gXkMziKX695DmEi

Well-versed

This one is S-tier!

It's a name I came up with a while ago and still like it as it avoids the need to start with "Fedi" and has an appropriate double meaning. Plus, in this context, it handily starts with a "W".

Nice one!

Bouncing off this idea as well, Well-versed is good for referring to the Fed-universe, and Well-Feds can be used to refer to featured (individual) communities/feeds?

Good one.

The Fedi-Files

*Maybe don't go with that one, it sounds like a show Chris Hansen would host
