I wholeheartedly agree with this one. It’s also still semi funny referring to them as basically trashcans. But I think as a new user it is just way more streamlined and sensible than calling them “magazines”. When I read that first I just could think of like paper magazines and thought they’d be some sort of editorial content, which is highly misleading. Calling them “bins” just makes way more sense and sort of adds to the brand of the platform.
On Lemmy, they are “communities”.
On Kbin, they are “magazines”. I am told that “magazine” is a pun in Polish (Kbin’s maintainer is Polish).
Having been here all of 30 minutes, referring to them “bins” might be a nice
Did we just witness the birth of viral content in this bin?

nice and simple. this works for me…
Ditto. This is the winner!
Yeah I mean it’s short and kind of right there in your face… +1 for bins
If they’re called “magazines”, then I’m calling them “clips” for short.
How about mags?
Oh man, that’d annoy so many people that are pedantic, including me lmao.
I think I prefer “zines” as a shortened form of “magazines.”
“Clips” sounds more like a post within a magazine.
Ohh, I like zines as a shortened version
I’m going “gazis.”
one of kbin instances (the first one, maybe?) is called karab.in (“rif.le”), hence the magazines I guess.
