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^

If we're taking a vote, I think "Magazine" is a dumb name. I saw that and had no idea what it was supposed to be.

Honestly, this specific post is the first I am realizing that "Magazine" is the equivalent of a subreddit.

Edit: if I'm being honest, I thought Community was a dumb name too.

There should be no vote, it should just be decided between the lead devs. Users will follow and largely not care.

I nearly gave up trying kbin because of the confusing use of terms. I still dislike the term magazine, and I still don't understand the difference between threads and articles. I just want to read/write posts.
