I found it complicated at first (didn’t know which instance “will last”, where to register to not lose anything when instance admin decide to turn it down), but now it’s going good. We are missing mobile apps though.

What’s are your thoughts about Lemmy/kbin?

    Everything is great so far. The frontpage content is mostly tutorials for lemmy at the moment, which makes sense. It’s quite buggy but it’s still relatively new. People here are more friendly, more community oriented, and just generally more enjoyable to speak to. I just don’t like the idea of defederation. If a user wants to access another instance just let them.

      This is my biggest take away so far - been here about a week now. I know many ex-redditors probably didn’t use the platform long enough to remember this, but this is how Reddit used to be. I remember when you’d log in and there would be little/no movement in the top posts, it wasn’t the non-stop content it is now. The flip side to that is you could jump in the comments and have fun, amicable discussions with internet strangers. It wasn’t the constant bickering/non-stop arguments or copy/pasted bot fests you get today. Comments would spark entire sub-comment discussions with multiple users going back and forth like a real conversation. It was lovely!

          Yeah you are! I’m just getting the hang of this fediverse thing, but Mastadon still completely baffles me. I’ve never used Twitter at all, so the fact that there’s like a non-twitter Twitter that does non-twitter things but also twitters kind of breaks my brain, and I can’t have that because I JUST picked this username.
