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^

    Agree and disagree.
    Agree, because it would make things easier.

    Disagree, because one of the value propositions of the fediverse is that every platform can be managed independently, while still interacting with the same content. Heck if they call it peanuts in one platform, and oranges in the other, all fine with me

      Yup. That’s the beauty of the fediverse. Don’t like the way one app manages content? I’ve got good news - there are at least two dozen other apps to choose from.

      If you don’t like the way Kbin does things and think it should be more like Lemmy, just go join a Lemmy instance. Neither platform will be perfect or will satisfy every whim of every user.
