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

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”

Does Lemmy have the equivalent of Reddit flair? That made some posts easier to avoid or focus on that others.

Tags are coming soon, which I think would be equivalent:

I mean, of the hundreds of communities I've blocked so far, I feel like a solid half of them were furry porn, so honestly that tracks.

FYI: there is already a Fediverse Marketing Community as part of https://fediforum.org/projects/. How about joining forces with the people who are already there instead of duplicating effort?
