I feel like a highlighted basic "kbin how to" on the frontpage would really help kbin in the beginning, I still feel like I don't know exactly how all of this works, didn't knew what things like "boost" means, the difference between adding a new article/ post/ photo is still not clear to me. Just a really simple 1 minute how to would really help this page get going and help stranded redditors and new people :)
Welcome and I hope things are not too overwhelming.
It’s not quite the FAQ I think you’re looking for, but this little one might help with a few things. I’m working on more and hopefully will have a third one soon.

Good luck and cheers
thanks!
nah, managble at the moment, just feel I'm not the only one finding it not so clear cut when it comes to how kbin and the whole new concept of fediverse works( seeing a lot of the same questions asked over and over again by other users as well), super stoked tho on what this will hopefully become :)
Funny you should say that because created a magazine this morning for this exact reason!
It's called m/quickstart and it's intended to get new users up an running as quickly as possible. Don't expect too much there's literally 2 subscribers and it's basically just me posting mobile screenshots on the microblog with the tag #quickstart.
I might end up writing one of these lol. I already have a saved post in my personal magazine @OtomeChan for the sake of holding links to useful userscripts/extension/userstyle stuff that I share a lot.
This is a great idea, coming from someone that's joined this week. There's a load of useful information across the various magazines/threads but it's been a case of digging through and learning bit-by-bit. Having a smoother new user experience can only be a good thing to grow the community
The only thing I'm consistently having issues with is seeing a list of just the magazines I'm subscribed to.
You can go to your Profile page > Subscriptions but it's not ideal, it's a card-like grid instead of a simple list to search or sort through. It's also missing an import/export option to easily sync subscriptions between different accounts.
I did find that but like you said...not ideal. Hopefully coming down the line or in the kmoon app being developed
