Fed-ee-verse, like universe.

Fed-IH-verse

I would go with fed-UH-verse. The word Fediverse is a portmanteau of the words federate and universe, right? So if we’re going with the US pronounciation of the words it’s fed-UH-rate and you-NUH-verse, both have the “uh” sound in the middle.

Things get a bit trickier if we’re using the UK pronounciation, though. The word federate is largely the same, but universe gets pronounced you-NEE-verse, so it could go either way.

This is gonna be another gif situation, isn’t it? :))

I’ve just said it out loud to myself about twenty times in a row and am worried I’m somehow in the middle of these two sounds.

Fed-ee-verse

I don’t pronounce it, I try and avoid talking to myself…

PhehdeevirsÉ.

FED-uh-verse

Fed-ih-verse, like un-ih-verse.

I sometimes still wish we just called it “the federation” though.

I say fedeeverse, because I’m french, but that’s actually a good question :)

Maybe we should add the name also in English phonetic script to the website
