minus-squareSpacemanSpifflinkfedilink3•1 year agoKind of like how Lemmy made up communities? Lol you don’t call microblogs “toots” either. Seems every fediverse software has their own terminology.
minus-squaremy_hat_stinkslinkfedilink1•1 year agoCommunity is descriptive though, they’re literally communities centered around some topic. Magazine only works in a much more abstract sense.
minus-squareR0cket_M00selinkfedilink0•1 year agoCommunity seems like a fine name, did you want them to call it a subreddit? Lol
minus-squareSpacemanSpifflinkfedilink1•1 year agoNothing wrong with community, the point is Lemmy create the term the same as Kbin created magazine. Not every microblogging site in the fediverse calls them “toots” for example.
