Edit: TIL it doesn't matter if you make your community on Lemmy or kbin, they're federated and will have equal exposure (kbin.social)

Thanks everyone for the help.

Original post: I want to create a niche community, but considering Lemmy can't see kbin magazines, wouldn't it make more sense to make the community on Lemmy, that way people from both Lemmy and kbin can be a part if it?

Maybe I should have posted this on a nostupidquestions community, I don't know.

what's the difference between a kbin magazine and a community?

[–] joshch@kbin.social 13 points 1 year ago

It's mostly the same, but magazines also include hashtags from microblogs like mastodon.

Nothing really, they just use different names for the same thing. Like how Reddit has subreddits.

oh interesting

if this was posted to a kbin magazine I'm here viewing it from a Lemmy instance

It was, and your post is currently visible in the AskKbin magazine / community / subreddit / group thing as well as on Lemmy.

You can see it in your normal web browser via the main kbin instance with the link https://kbin.social/m/AskKbin/t/168071/Would-it-not-make-more-sense-to-create-a-community

Same thing, just different terms.
