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!

Moving over from reddit as well and it would help if there was a summary for what the new terminology are such as microblogging and magazines and if these terminology have the same meaning across the fediverse.
Also when I subscribe to a community based in Lemmy why does Kbin show only how many people are subscribed from Kbin. It doesn't impact usage but it did add to the confusion. I'm probably still using the wrong terminology.
Otherwise I'm liking what I'm seeing and hoping to be on this long term :)

Magazines are to Kbin as subreddits are to Reddit and communities are to Lemmy
