Brainstorming: how should we name a Lemmy community dedicated to the promotion of the Fediverse?

I've been saying this the entire time I've been here.
You shouldn't have a lemmy account, and a mastodon account, and a pixelfed account, and a peertube account, and a misskey account........you should have 1 account. A fediverse account. One account, you log into and any activity you have on your array of services would go to one account.
So if you post a picture on pixelfed, and a someone says "oh, thats a pretty butterfly!" And then you post a video on peertube about the ghostbusters, someone might reply "Oh, slimer is my favorite". And BOTH replies go to the same notification area, and you canreply from the same page.

I like where you going with it. But if this community here is thriving, I wouldn't suggest changing it because you'll lose people in the transfer.

It's less about news and more about advocacy.

Perhaps, but it's a bit too late to rename an existing and active community.

I say use one of the existing ones, making another 3rd community because there's now 2 seems silly.

I like it, but also sounds like federation porn.

Why confusion? It’s good there is more than one community! Can’t trust any instance to stay up

No, we want to keep !fedigrow@lemm.ee on its current instance with its current objective.
The question is about the other one, which is about promotion of the Fediverse rather than growth of communities already here

The issue is that they have very similar names while being different. I edited the post to make it more clear.

The new one would replace !growthefediverse@slrpnk.net
!fedigrow@lemm.ee would stay the same. I edited the OP to clarify

Having two communities seems better as people busy with keeping their communities active aren’t automatically interested in promoting the Fediverse externally, and vice versa.
Same reason there is !fedimemes@feddit.uk separated from !fediverse@lemmy.world , the intent and type of content are different

this community here is thriving
Which one? !fedigrow@lemm.ee , !growthefediverse@slrpnk.net or !fediverse@lemmy.world ?

I personally think lemmy users for the most part are technical enough to get that based on the descriptions you two may add. Those communities already have followers right?
I know asklemmy@lemmy.ml is not gonna censor me like asklemmy@lemmy.world is though they “have the same name.”

I wouldn’t do fediverse support because it sounds too much like lemmy_support

I would say it's a different type of growth. A topic that regularly comes up is consolidation of similar communities (the most recent example being !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com as the suggested alternative to !privacyguides@lemmy.one !privacy@lemmy.world , !privacy@lemmy.ca , !privacy@fedia.io etc.)
So it's a type of growth, but more internal than external.

I think fediverse_migration or fediverse_procelytizing is best
I personally don’t like “fedi”
