I would classify it as slightly more than communication; a metaverse also has to give you some way to "inhabit" it. We're communicating on HN, but HN doesn't really have a way to inhabit it, so I wouldn't call HN a metaverse.

Every registered user is an inhabitant, every passerby an observing alien that might convert into an inhabitant at some point.
