one of the most annoying things on reddit was scrolling through seventy comments of people calling the remindme bot, followed by eighty-nine posting "commenting to save it for future".
Because unlike Mastodon there is no one main "discussion forum" fedi app, we have Lemmy, mbin, kbin, piefed. The term has nothing to do with Meta Threads!
I am guilty of spreading the term Threadiverse around everywhere, though I personally don't care what term we use so long as we pick one and just go with it, which overwhelmingly (even if unfortunately) turned out to be Threadiverse.
Can y’all just use the task or reminders app built into your device? I do this all the time. On an iPhone you can even just trigger Siri and say “remind me about this at X time” and it automatically includes a link to the thing.
You can use this one from Mastodon

:D fantastic news, now we must spread the news because I don't think anyone (On the Threadiverse) knows about it LMAO
Maybe edit the title of the post and add [SOLVED - See post] or something like that. Should help getting more upvotes.
I knew, but I had forgotten the last part of the name, rendering my knowledge useless to both myself and others 😄

Hmmm, tempting... Well, I might try creating one, should be easy*. But I seem to remember there being some bots like that already?

What's up with calling it the Threadiverse unless you're Mark Zuckerbot?
Because unlike Mastodon there is no one main "discussion forum" fedi app, we have Lemmy, mbin, kbin, piefed. The term has nothing to do with Meta Threads!
Then why not fediverse?
To my understanding, it's to separate the microblogs, blogs, etc. and just include the forum / threaded discussion style of the fediverse.
Nope. Not buying that one bit. Look up threadiverse and you get zuckerverse sites as the top results.
Searching for fediverse and the first result is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse
You're both shipping for the zuckerverse.
Damn, and this even happens with DuckDuckGo too, I would expect it from Google but even DDG?
There was a poll about it recently, with some high-profile people (like creator of Mbin) saying they were adamant about using Threadiverse.
Other alternatives were proposed like Forumverse or Topicverse, or simply the Verse, but people don't seem excited about switching. Ooh, fediforums?

The Boost dev confirmed he was working on PieFed support the other day and now I definitely can't wait to move over! LMAO
