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!

    Okay. But if I follow that “The magazine from the federated server may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance” link, on a… magazine(?) I’m subscribed to on kbin, and end up on lemmy, it still says there that I am not subscribed nor loged in. And to comment from there I still need to log in from my lemmy.world account. So at least subscriptions are their own separate thing on lemmy and on kbin, right? Earlier for instance, I was trying to subscribe to The Scary Door magazine, but from lemmy, and I couldn’t find how to do it. From the kbin account I could follow it easier.

    I guess I’ll just stick with the kbin one since things look simpler.

      Links kind of break things because they take you to a different website, even though it’s content you can access from the one you’re on. I think there are people working on fixing that.
