I wanted to get a pulse check on how new members are finding the general experience/website. Is it more confusing than Reddit or are you finding the instance system a better way of doing things as it can give you more freedom of where you choose to create an account?

I’m a new user myself but have found the experience to remind me of Reddit back in the day, lol. It’s definitely giving me old-school yet modern vibes and it’s great to see something that isn’t Reddit growing in popularity!

    I’m a bit torn. I really like the Lemmy project, but kbin being able to interact directly with microblogging fedi sites as well is pretty appealing to me. That is my primary social media usage, and it basically seems like a 2-in-1 which is great. To be clear, I know I can tag Mastodon users from Lemmy, and see Lemmy posts from Mastodon. But after looking at the way kbin handles it, it seems more ‘native’. Not sure how I’m going to proceed.

      I haven’t gotten a chance to look at kbin yet. How is the interactions with Mastodon better than here? New to Lemmy/Kbin but not mastodon so might be nice to keep things were I know about them.

        There is a seperate “microblog” tab that is just like the timeline in Mastodon/Akkoma/etc. Not sure if it offers home/local/federated views, the documentation is very sparse.
