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

One strategy that I'd like to specifically promote is fediverse users calling attention to spaces of the internet where people are talking about the fediverse but there's relatively few users there that can share their experience.
To that end I've been considering things like:
- Fedimigration Reinforcements
- Fedimigration Support Team
Keep in mind that whatever name we pick will also be the hashtag that the Mastodon contingent of this project will end up using.
As it stands, they would see posts from this community under #growthefediverse -

Obligatory https://xkcd.com/927/
I wouldn't call it anything with just "support" in the name, or I'd imagine you're going to get a lot of tech support questions regarding Fediverse software.
And keep in mind the attention span on the internet is reading half if the title of something. So the distinction to fedigrow has to be very clear from the name alone.
Or maybe you want to join efforts? It's still not clear to me whether both are about the same thing, just on different instances. I think both fedigrow and growthefediverse are good names that make it clear what it's about. What about fedipromotion? or promotethefediverse? But I don't think my ideas are as good...

Took me a second to figjre out why you named it that, but the Fediverse is more than JUST Lemmy. That'd be a great name for something promoting Lemmy to reddit users though.

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.
