As this project appears to be fairly unknown in the fediverse still, I'd like to use this opportunity to advertise Flohmarkt. This Fediverse equivalent of Facebook Marketplace already has some instances up and running - see here: https://codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmarkt/wiki/flohmarkt-instances

I can't understand why every other fediverse name is so stupid as to be off putting to the average user.

Lemmy is no better or worse than Reddit
Pixelfeed is significantly better than Instagram
Mastodon is much worse than Twitter

Seems to me pretty much an even spread of how good the names are

For other Fediverse software:

Misskey is unmistakable which already makes it a good name
PeerTube is on par with YouTube and is perfectly transparent as a description of software: "YouTube but with P2P"
Writefreely is another clear but already proper name, definitely better than Medium or Substack (ony Medium's advantage - it sounds better in non-English languages)
Loops and Friendica remind better of their purposes than TikTok/Vine and Facebook
... on the other hand, every Threadiverse app, no matter if it is /kbin, Mbin, Lemmy or PieFed, fails with it

Lemmy is a stupid god awful name.

The first result you get on google is a dead singer. Every other search you will have him on the front page instead of what you're trying to find. Contrast this to searching for something from reddit.
