Wikipedia and other sources tend to use “the Fediverse”, but I’ve also seen just “Fediverse”. From what I know, it depends on whether the term is a proper name or just the name of a unique thing. Could someone please explain how do you think the term should be properly named and why?

    I would say “Fediverse” when it’s used as an adjective - “many Fediverse apps”, “my Fediverse community”.

    “The Fediverse” seems right when it’s a noun - “lot of new folks joining the Fediverse”.

    But most people I know abbreviate it to " fedi" outside formal settings anyway 🙂
