minus-squareSpacemanSpiff@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 years 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_stinks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoCommunity is descriptive though, they’re literally communities centered around some topic. Magazine only works in a much more abstract sense.
minus-squareR0cket_M00se@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 years agoCommunity seems like a fine name, did you want them to call it a subreddit? Lol
minus-squareSpacemanSpiff@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years 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.
