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!

This. I think I have a kbin account, a lemmy account, and the mouse fedora one.

So should I just use different accounts to sort things? Like one account for everything gaming-related? How many different PCMR magazine-instance-communities will I need to subscribe to?

I'm sure I'll figure it all out, but it's gonna take a couple of days.

You don't need to create more than one account, you can access everything from just one (unless a server goes down). I guess you can just use them like you use Reddit alts

Okay, so I'm getting that you can follow all of lemmy through kbin, but can you follow all of kbin through lemmy? Because I get the feeling there's magazines you can only subscribe to through kbin.

What I'm getting is that kbin is like a special entrance to, I guess, the feediverse, with some extra "rooms" on it's side of things.
