Context, I was gonna make a throw together some nomadnet site for something and I wanted to refer to the people who use reticulum in a silly way. And the phrase reticulum community is just way too long.
You can do Reticulum + X, so reticulum people or whatever but it's still a bit of a mouthful, ideally it should be one word. Something like Reticulumities, Reticulumights? Still hard to pronounce and bad to spell.

I like "the Retnet"
or:
Retinet
Retisphere
Ret-con?
If Reticulum is represented as a fabric (than an internet) according to the Zen manifesto, then I would say that we are essentially a new form of weaver of the solarpunk age.
Weavers sounds appropriate to me.
Weaving seems to have its own vocabulary also. There are loads of funny sounding words I never heard of that could be used in this context. Just skip through the wikipedia page.
A digital quilt of sorts. Weaving quilts over on existing systems sounds on par too lol.
Reticulators, or maybe Reticulants. At work, I told my coworkers that I reticulate every day, so now they regularly ask me if I've reticulated yet.
On MeshCore, I would call people Meshlings. I guess that name could apply here too.
combining two of the above suggestions, Weavelings
Textile metaphors would do great to differentiate between the Fabric and the internet. Should seperate the differences between rnsd to other forms of networks.
I'm warming up to Weaver, it reminds of the old surfing the net where it's only slightly metaphorically related but it sounds cool.
Though a weaver sounds like someone who builds the network rather than uses it. Can't think of a similar word for just using reticulum
Working the loom? Lol
Meshtastic++
Now everyone will move over 😀
Wearing rnsd devices also tracks. if the primary feature of nomadnet is ambient connection, then most likely the typical identity is 'wearing' their version of the Fabric (either RNodes or a different method of transport).
The possibilites are endless here.
Retheads, or just Rets. Don't know if that's any better, but i think its funnier. (Yet, obviously humor comes i many different shapes ... ;)
