I just thought this might make a fun discussion thread for folks to chat about ideas and make silly pie jokes.
I’m curious to hear what folks think would be fun, or work well!
threaded - newest
I’m also open to thoughts on “lemmites”! Its what I default to but I suppose it may be presumptuous for me to assume its what everyone uses, or wants to use :)
No idea, as much as I like Piefed, I’m not the biggest fan of the whole pie imagery related to it.
Curious to see what other people will come up with!
I dunno, I like pie. I like piefed.
I thought Lemmy users were lemmings.
I completely forgot “lemmings” 😅😅
I’ve probably actually seen that one more, I don’t know how I forgot it lol
Don’t worry about him, he’s just an anti-Lemmite
I’m still holding out for Motörheads
Yyeess! 🤘
"the best" :3
:3
Piefeeders PieFeds(like federal agent) piffids piefedditors pies magpies
Its a hard one for names, maybe the name should come from the instance like blarj users.
Magpies seems very cute, but like my other favorite so far, might not be super self explanatory
I think refering to people on piefed as feds without context would be hilarious.
How people will see us then:

I'm down. I'm already a fellow kids guy as it is.
Welcome fellow human! Ah... I mean "kid", yes, we are just
going to kill all sentient lifeforms"kidding" around here, certainly nothing for the authorities to get involved in, move along! :-P<img alt="img" src="https://media.tenor.com/z811f64aFp4AAAAM/trust-issues-mind-control.gif">
Be cool bro
I’d prefer piefeditor, without the double “d”. Unnecessary callback to the other site.
pie holes springs to mind
(to be clear i do not even remember what piefed is)
Idk pies? very creative of me I know /s
cutie pies
Cutie pies!! 🥹
The only downside is it might not be the most self explanatory
(Off-topic, but your username is fantastic!)
Thanks! I think some buddies came up with it when I was young. It sounds slightly similar to my surname.
Pieonaires comes to mind for me.
Oh how about Pioneers!
Piefedophiles
Hell yeah
ಠ︵ಠ
Do you really want to attract more Republicans?
I’d just stick to Piedophiles.
Pifedditors , piredditors , pieskibiders , piesigmarism
I like the idea of pieons, from peon (which I promise I don't mean derogatorily seeing as I'm not on piefed myself)
You must construct additional pieons
Lmao also the first thing I thought
I see this as even more reason to use my idea
My life for
AiurPiefed!To be fair, lemming isn’t exactly a positive term
<img alt="img" src="https://media.tenor.com/sK2mHU6kq9IAAAA1/thats-the-joke-ranier-wolfcastle.webp">
my dyslexia ass will just read “pigeons”
Pie peeps occurs to me as a potential option
Slices
This is a quite fun one
Not too late for PieFed to rename "communities" to "slices"
Pieus
Pies?
Pied pipers. Or just pipers. Piepers?
Jeepers creepers where’d you get those?
Although you got me thinking of this song
Fatties?
After being fed so many pies
Pie feds aka “the feds”
Sorry, I thought the joke was implicit in your question, but the analog to “Lemmites” is “Piefites” which I think is just fine because say it out loud.
You know what, piefites is a good neutral option!
If there’s a joke in saying it out loud or something my sleepy brain isn’t finding it
“Pie fights”
Creampies!
Hmmmmmm
Drop the H
@robocall@lemmy.world only for Boston based instances
Pies? Rather simple.
Piessants.
Piefuckers
That's only for those on US-based instances... i.e. American Piefuckers
pieshiters
If we want to keep it silly, then "pie-munchers’ gets my nomination.
Nom nom nom
phisPiefkes
I choose not to differentiate the two. I think we are all part of the same group
It's home instances that we are tribal about more than software interface.
Threadiverse = the subset of the Fediverse based on threaded conversations, applies to Lemmy, PieFed, Mbin, also nodeBB and somewhat flarum
Facebook would like to have a word
Meta did try to make "Threads", but (a) it failed miserably and (b) use of that term on Lemmy predates Meta trying to steal it. We don't need to let them define us! And all the more so if there's no better word - the next runner up in polls iirc is Forumverse, but people vastly prefer Threadiverse.:-)
Why? "Threadiverse" has been used before Threads became a thing, and "thread" is a generic term that has existed for ages and doesn't belong to Meta.
It’s Lemmings not Lemmites, so keeping that same energy… Piefeedings? Piefeddings? I think Piefedders sounds better, though none of them are great.
However, Piefed does have fed in it like fediverse, so it’s not a bad name, just hard to riff off of.
Re: Lemmings.
How about Magpies?
Feedlings?
piefeddings is good!
In my opinion: Lemmy is the name of the network, Piefed is simply the best way of accessing the network. Thus, most Piefed users are still Lemmings.
Tbf ActivityPub is the name of the protocol, and Fediverse is the name of the network, though is too generic so many of us have taken to calling us the "Threadiverse", for threaded-based conversational format (Lemmy + Mbin + PieFed + nodeBB + flarum), as distinct from the user-centric Mastodon, the image-based Pixelfed, video-based Loops (not federated yet iirc), etc. Notably though, while it is not so easy, people can send messages between these e.g. from Mastodon to Lemmy (or PieFed) and vice versa.
Pikers
I was thinking about that too. And you know what? After taking part in Mastodon, then Lemmy, now PieFed and discovering PeerTube I now more identify as a Fediverse user than a user of one of the parts
Fediversling/Fediverser lacks an unofficial-official name too, btw ;)
I'm thinking 'Fedder.'
One who Feds.
A true Fedizen right here. Also Threadizen?
As long as we’re all Federales
Piefedizens, ofc
I said it before and I’ll say it again: call us all “the Feds”.
@Cris_Color Since they're armed with pies, how about "clowns"?
I like “Fedlings” personally.
Fedlings is excellent! and also works for all fedi users which is kinda nice since the exact platform is kinda less important :)
I really like it too. If it takes off, no need to attribute it to me. I’m sure other people have also thought of it.
Im not very fednocentric so I like the federation to refer to all. Possibly influenced by an ip I like.
pieple
That’s just Australian for “people”.
Pierats.
This seems like as good a time as any to plug !pies@piefed.social for everything pie-related.
Okay but don't forget about the PieFed memes community!! !piefed_promo@piefed.social
Example post:

FOR THE LAST TIMES, LEMMY USERS ARE LEMMINGS. also, I got a good name for the american piefed users!
How about “Clowns” becsuse of all the “pie.” :P
(I kid)
Pieous
Pie Eaters? Pie Feeders? Pie Fedditors?
Pie lovers but we are lemmings.
I have been using "Pie-heads", b/c we are just crazy enough to make that work! :-P
<img alt="pieheads" src="https://i.imgflip.com/a4nabw.jpg">
And the network of Lemmy + PieFed + Mbin (+ nodeBB + flarum) as the "Threadiverse", distinct from the wider Fediverse that also includes Mastodon, PixelFed, etc.
The fact that you name dropped NodeBB (a good example), Flarum (which has no working federation), but did not mention Discourse (which has only partially working federation and limited threadiverse support) gives me the warm and fuzzies 🤣
I need to stop mentioning flarum, but every time I do someone chimes in with "but it's coming soon(TM)!" So I just say what's listed in !fediverse@piefed.social as if that were somehow official or something:-P.
We have become The Feds!
<img alt="img" src="https://media.tenor.com/ICcU3v2ZYV8AAAAM/fbi-open-up-gif.gif">
The Pious
Piefaces
Piefedants.
Piefederites
Piefeddites
I thought we were Lemmings…
Feds
We’re Lemmings.
Slices, because they’re a part of the pie.
I’m sure some of them are pieholes.
Piefighters
Lemmy users are lemmings
I think Piefed users can be called Piefeddites
What about piefediles?
Yes, but pronounced pee-eh-figh-dulls
Piedophiles… /s
Piefederates
I feel like it would be more relevant to come up with a name for Threadiverse users as a whole. There’s really not much to differentiate us as a community between lemmy and piefed.
You’re not wrong. Maybe that’d make for another fluff thread some time down the road
I suggested “Fedlings” in the main thread and I think that could work for the fediverse at large.
There’s a difference between the fediverse and the Threadiverse, though.
Let me propose “Spinner” because we’re making thread.
Example : feddit.org users are Spinner.
Pie feeder
(Pie)feds
Piefy’s.
Diabetic.
Rippp 😅
Good thread @cris_color@lemmy.world
Thanks! It seemed like it might be fun 😊
Hope you have a lovely day!
Serious answer, piefedians, fedians or piens for short.
Fun answer: pie-ons (peons), or of you want to separate the lurkers from the contributors, you have pie-eaters and pie-mongers
Crusties
Piefolk
I got a better one if you understand french : pivert.
Federati.
Piedofiles.
Glowies /j
Anal pustules
Hmmmmm ಠ.ಠ
I don’t really call them lemmites, haven’t seen anybody else do so either, I think Lemmings has such a cool ring to it, very cute animals that travel in groups.
As for Piefed users if it’s competing with something that cute then my vote is Piefolk.
piefaced?
Piefederalists
Seconded
