@GoodKingElliot I'm going to follow this because I keep getting routed to microblogging instead of actual posting.

That said, if you want to find different forums, click "Magazine" at the top toolbar, and it will route you to different forums. You can then "Subscribe" and/or "Search" like you would for Subreddits. If you click on the dropdown menu next to your username, it will give a few different "view" options. click "Subscribed" to select a feed of your subscriptions. It is not default, and if you want to view subscription feed right now you have to choose it every time. If you click on the kbin icon at the left it will give you the equivalent of "r/all."

yeah their terminology is confusing, and who knows, maybe someday they'll change it. I learned what they are, so now I get it more and can help you.

As the other commenter said, communities/subreddits are called "magazines" and you can click Magazines, then there's a search bar specifically for the magazines. On kbin.social, a large server, you'll be able to search for both lemmy and kbin forums there. I also click All for my feed since that seems to give me posts to look at more often

To make a new post, kbin calls that a Thread. "Post" on kbin is actually more like a tweet(twitter)/toot(mastodon). To make a thread, click Add a new article , or Add a new link/video/photo

I saved this post on Lemmy, which is a nice tutorial for kbin: https://lemmy.studio/post/46403
