Many of the subscriptions I’m making are to magazines that are coming from lemmy or other nstances because these are the ones making their way into my feed. Is there any downside to this in the fediverse?

Is there any reason (technical or otherwise) why I should prefer magazines that are at kbin.social (or kbin.anything) or does it literally not matter at all?

Edited to add: Thanks for all the good answers, I get it now!

    There doesn’t seem to be, after fooling with it. I thought just @ kbin.social or the full url would force it, but it just returns less than the default page does.

    I think because it goes off sub description, so if, say, a community on sh.itjust.works mentions or links some sister sub they have at lemmy.ca or something, they will come up in a search for lemmy.ca even though I tried to filter them out. Not a lot of kbin mags have any reason to mention they’re kbin, so they don’t even show up.

    So that’s a little bothersome, though at least not world-ending. At the very least, it seems to be given preference in the default sort, İ guess? If anyone wants to look through 100+ pages and see what strikes them
