Many Lemmy instances have "feddit" in their name. Is that just "federated reddit" or am I missing something?

They are run by the feds. Duh.

Is that why it's called "FEDiverse"?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago

I've always read it as a mix of "Federated Reddit" and "Fed up with Reddit".

Yup! It's just a joke referencing reddit, that's all there is to it as far as I know.

Pretty sure it was just meant as a tongue-in-cheek reference to reddit.

Yeah, you answered yourself there. "Federated Reddit"
