Is there a way to sort all Threadiverse communities by number of subscribers?

I thought maybe when I click on the communities page on Lemmy.world, that I could then sort the list of communities/magazines/servers by clicking on the subscribers column and it would sort the list by that column.

If this isn't a bug and I'm doing it right, is there another way to sort?

Why are people calling it "threadiverse"???

I've seen this quite a lot recently, and I don't get it. It's the fediverse, isn't it? This name sounds like it comes from Facebook's thing...
- Threadiverse is basically used to refer to the Reddit-like part of the Fediverse, and the reason it's needed is essentially Kbin. Even though they use the same protocol (and are more similar than say, Lemmy and Mastodon), Kbin is a completely different piece of software written in a different language (PHP). So just calling it Lemmy misses out on those 60k+ users. And saying Fediverse includes Mastodon and PeerTube etc etc as well.
- Threadiverse is the Lemmy side of the fediverse.
- What's funny is that if Threads became part of the Fediverse, it would be in the non-Threadiverse category.

  I suppose it refers to Threads. Not so far from treason. So, we can call Threadiverse the gathering of betrayers who use Threads as if it were a part of the Fediverse.

  Hi there! The links in your response are not clickable for Lemmy users, here are the clickable versions: !fediverse@lemmy.world
  
  Meta unfortunately decided to call their platform a very basic name, the same name as a core feature of Kbin and Lemmy.
  
  PixelFed, Friendica, Peertube, and Mastodon (all part of the fediverse) don't really use comment threads (Mastodon sort of does) but for Kbin and Lemmy it's basically the most unique part of it, other than being a filter for various links to other pages. So they are often refered to the part of the fediverse that uses comment threads.
I recommend Lemmyverse
- thank you very helpful!

They can sort by subscribers.
It is not the Threadiverse. Its the Fediverse. Threads isn't even federated.
- Kbin and Lemmy have been referred to as the threadiverse for much longer than Meta's Threads has been around, even before it was known only as Project 92.
  
  I mean, we are on a community called Fediverse. I'm rather new here but it seems Fediverse won that debacle.
- I can't believe they hijacked the name in one weekend.
- I think people have been purposely calling kbin and Lemmy that ironically but it might catch on
It doesnt work for me either, even though the mouse icon changes on hover
