    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.

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

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

      Second for this. In my native accent it’s the laziest way of pronouncing it.
