Many Lemmy instances have “feddit” in their name. Is that just “federated reddit” or something else entirely?
Pretty sure it was just meant as a tongue-in-cheek reference to reddit.
What is "feddit", really?

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

I’ve always read it as a mix of “Federated Reddit” and “Fed up with Reddit”.

Is that why it’s called “FEDiverse”?

Yeah, you answered yourself there. “Federated Reddit”
