I know the obvious things like federation and fediverse, but do we say upvote/downvote, updoot, karma? I hate to bring up the software that must not be named, but I don’t know what else to call things.

    • Community - the equivalent of a subreddit. Some people shorten it to “comm”.
    • Instance or server - a site using Lemmy or Mbin or PieFed, with multiple communities in it. For example lemmy.world and mander.xyz are instances.
    • Upvote, downvote - the same as in Reddit.
    • karma - it would be the same as in Reddit, except that the main software (Lemmy) doesn’t have it.
    • Lemming - a Lemmy user
    • Defed - often used as a verb. Because “defederate” is too long.
