Kbin and Lemmy should come to a consensus on how to name stuff (feddit.de)

Is there really a reason, for example, for there to be the distinction of "magazine" and "community"? When you're federating, the same features should be called the same, if close enough. That way everyone can talk with everyone about stuff and we all immediately understand each other.

Would also alleviate confusion for any new adopters.

^I'm pretty sure this is going to be impossible though, since each sides egos will likely get in the way :D^

We could adopt the naming used by the underlying ActivityPub protocol, which for magazines/communities would be (if I’m interpreting the documentation correctly) “Shares Collections”.

Tbh "Join the Technology Shares Collection on Kbin" doesn't roll off the tongue very well, community is just the most straightforward option

Yeah, kbin calling "subreddits" "magazines" is one of the reasons I went for lemmy (despite the main devs questionable ideologies). For someone migrating from reddit the community == subreddit analogy makes more sense than magazine.
