/kbin meta

I created an account on both Lemmy.World and here, and I have to say, I kind of wish that all the servers experienced something similar. Why?

Comparing the Magazine/Communities list between each instance I feel that on Lemmy things are so spread out unevenly because everyone flocked to the community with the most members, but still joined/created local communities but left them empty. These means that at this point it is still hard to figure out where to join and where to call home, community-wise.

To me, Kbin's lock down basically forced us to create local magazines and start building them. That means, that regardless of what happens after the lock down is over we will have well established magazines here that we can call home while also joining the conversation on other servers across the fediverse. For people that are still trickling in, it makes it easier for them to find the subreddits they left behind on their home instance.

This lets Kbin.social be somewhat self-sufficient for those that aren't into the Lemmy side of the fediverse, as I know some people have complained about Lemmy.ml and Lemmygrad.

It's going to be exciting around here once we are finally able to explore. This just feels like the starter zone where all the newbies can gather, safe from the outside world.
