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!
So, I think Kbin and Lemmy are separate pieces of software operating on the fediverse. But since they speak the same language you can interact cross platform. Interestingly, seems that kbin supports even more fediverse platforms than lemmy. I’ve been able to use kbin to follow mastadon users.
So if I comment on a post through kbin, does it show up on Lemmy?
Yep
this is breaking my brain and I don’t hate it
Yeah as I understand it support for interacting with Mastodon and other twitter-like sites is something that sets Kbin apart from other “thread” (is that even the right term?) based sites.
