Do you really need 2 separate communities? Seems like that would just split your fledgling user base.
Yeah, the current thinking is just to have the one magazine for now unless people have good reasons why that won't work. Of course a lot depends on whether there are any active bugs federating between the two systems but I think right now things are copacetic.
Also, hashtags in kbin posts are recognised by mastodon/mblogs? At the moment, they're not from lemmy (don't know why). So posting out from kbin might also help in getting traction with the mastodon/mblog crowd.
One problem lemmy/kbin have at the moment for activism, is that smaller communities can get drowned out in the feed. You can of course sort by "New", or "Hot" but might miss things, unless you're actively checking the specific community. Same problem with mblogs too I guess.
Something interesting in the works in this regard is a Lemmy pull request to add "Best" as a feed sorting option, which ranks posts relative to their communities, and therefore should make communities equal on your feed. (See Pull Request). It isn't finished yet but might not be far away.
Not sure about the hashtags, good question. There will also be separate posts on Mastodon -- here's an early example, guaging awareness -- and it'll be interesting to see what gets traction where
New word for me (looked it up). Is that regional at all (like a US thing)?
It used to be a slang term people trying to sound hip would use, but that was many decades ago -- 1930s or 1950s I think.
No, it's just not a commonly used word.
Hmmm. Not so sure.

Ok. I was going to suggest subscribing to the kbin mag on a couple Lemmy instances to get it into All.
Very good point, thanks much!
