I’m not the dev, so take what I say with a bushel of salt, but Avelon sounds a lot like Avalon, which is an island (probably mythical) that appears in the old British Arthurian legends.
On a surface level the name could be just a mythological link, that starts with an A. Similar to Apollo.
Yeah, this is exactly right. I was brainstorming names and came up with Avelon - turns out I was actually just remembering the name of the british legend just slightly wrong. Read up on it a bit more, and figured an “island” away from the big social media giants could be a nice metaphor to use in a Lemmy app name. Ended up keeping Avelon (with an E) since I thought it sounded pretty cool and was more unique.
