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!
It’s easier than I was expecting (using kbin, at least), but still growing pains. I assume that there just aren’t communities set up for some of the game-specific subreddits I was on (Zelda, Genshin, Star Rail, etc.) but I don’t know that I’d really expect there to be yet.
I also noticed that some people have profile pictures/avatars and I can’t figure out how to set that. I assume it’s because I just made my account today though that I’m not able to yet.
Actually, Zelda community exists on lemmy: @zelda (or !zelda@lemmy.ml ?)
404 not found
Try /c/zelda@lemmy.ml
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.
its not an all-purpose zelda subreddit, but i’ve made a magazine for botw, aoc, and totk at m/breathofthewild. it’s meant to be similar to r/Breath_of_the_Wild
What is a magazine?
