I've been thinking about this for a little while now and I think Fedditor is the best choice.
Fedditor sounds like a nice, platform-neutral term, but it might be a little too close to Reddit. I can't think of an alternative, though. But your idea of a general Fediverse term rather than a platform specific one is good.
I like this idea. A term that is site-agnostic is a good idea since there are so many potential names for any given instance.
There's also just no elegant way to turn "kbins.social" into a term that rolls off the tongue. "k-beans" and similar terms are just awkward and I can't see them being adopted en masse.
To combine your and @gus suggestions, maybe Fedinauts?
ooh! that's so neat, specially fitting since fediverse implies a kind of universe to be explored by, well, fedinauts
Ooh, fedinauts is good. Definitely agree to prioritize something which doesn't favor a particular instance and rather emphasizes the idea of the fediverse. Also, the ~nauts variations also connote a sort of star trek federation vibe, which suits this whole endeavor.
There are several Lemmy instances called Feddit though, so that fedditor would almost certainly be seen as referring to them.

I'm also not a fan of using terms referring to reddit. Can't we leave reddit in the past instead?
Someone else suggested Fedinaut and I love it.
