Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

What if each Fediverse app (Mastodon, PeerTube, etc) would use the same design as default look? (lemmy.ml)

It would be very cool imo to have similar aesthetic guidelines for all these fronts. Material design is the stardard in this era but Fediverse has the occasion to be more attractive with something new and more organized.

The benefit would be that if someone knows how to use Fediverse-Thing "X" they'd have a headstart in learning how to use "Y" and "Z" as well, because they would all look/behave similarly. It's a fairly standard UI/UX idea. See, for example some "usability rules" at http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/taouu/html/ch01s03.html (esp. Rule of Bliss and Rule of Least Surprise).
