I imagine with the expected influx of new users on the 1st a lot of the questions that have been asked here will be asked again.

What’s one thing that would have made the transfer to Kbin or Lemmy easier for you?

I wish I'd known how nice a place this is ages ago! After 10 years I was so institutionalised to the way reddit was, it was really hard to imagine using anything else and having anything like as nice a user experience. So many times over the last few days I've suddenly realised that for hours I've been browsing Kbin and not reddit. It's a nice feeling. Also, now I've replaced all my reddit bookmarks with Kbin ones which makes it feel a lot more permanent.

If I knew about the tankies earlier, I would have gone straight to kbin without wasting time trying to sign up for Lemmy.

Do you mind elaborating what tankies is? I'm on kbin as well.

Tankies are people who claim to be socialists or communists but are actually sympathetic to authoritarians, and in particular are anti-democratic.

Communists don't like tankies

I didn't know anything. I clicked a random link on reddit tbh. I just been picking away and enjoying it.

I guess the one thing would be what the actual difference between kbin and lemmy is. Other than that, it's pretty straightforward imo.

Two different softwares for accessing the fediverse. Say like, windows and Mac OS are different OS's for doing similar things.

Same, I came here from a link on r/cyberpunkred.

Still figuring this out a bit, but this seems like a fun place.

I wish I had known about kbin three weeks ago!
