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^
When I first arrived here, I assumed magazines = communities and made some flippant comment to that effect, only to be set straight by someone more knowledgeable. They essentially argued that magazines > communities on account of the fact that a hashtag within a magazine post is meaningful to kbin but not lemmy. So the different naming underscores that they are not, in fact, identical. Though to be fair, I haven’t seen a lot of posts with hashtags to date.
if you setup tags for a magazine on kbin, posts being published in the fediverse with those tags end up in the
Microblogsection. just check it.I believe this only works on Kbin though, not Lemmy
Yes I’ll correct my post
