That's like saying Facebook and Twitter should come to a concensus on how to name stuff
Lemmy and Kbin are different platforms that are compatible with activitypub (just like other platforms in the fediverse, like peertube, friendica, pleroma or mastodon, among others)
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.
