My guess is that each platform will have its own smaller names applied to it (e.g. kbinners, lemmites, etc.) and each variant will be interchangeable, then as things settle down and the dust clears, there would be a more common, less "exclusive" name like "posters" as someone mentioned. The email comparison comes to mind, we don't go around calling each other "gmailers" or "outlookers", but addresses or emails.
Federati, Fedizens for general Fediverse, which includes Mastodon, Pixelfed, Calckey, Lemmy....etc... Lemmings for Lemmy users, Kbinauts for Kbin users.
I suggest Threadites (pronounced as rhyming with Deadites) as collective for Lemmy, Kbin, Beehaw and whatever other Fediverse Forum programs join the Threadiverse.
Actually quite like Fedditors. Acknowledges where most of us came from, while being something different. Can also be interpreted as 'feck-reddit-ors'. Is good.
Though I love how we're having this discussion every 4-5 days at the moment because of the rate we're growing and the number of us who weren't here yet the last time it was discussed! :)
