Kbin and Lemmy should come to a consensus on how to name stuff
Reddit Migration@kbin.social – 134 points – 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^

I don't think it's even close to the same. It's more like forum software everywhere calls a post a "post" and a reply a "reply" and not something else.
Both sites are link aggregators, both sites have sub groups that are meant for a specific topic that links can be posted to, this concept should have a name.
So should all news aggregators copy 2004's Digg?
When terminology has become a standard, who cares what specific source you're "copying" from? Use the standard words that everyone already knows the meaning of.
