Any tips on jumping in? Recommended services, etc

Any tips on where you source the torrents from? Also looking into Usenet as well

That works. F-Droid is an alternative to the Play store. You can also download the .apk directly instead if you prefer. Just scroll down to the versions and find the most recent.

Not sure about them, but I use browser on desktop and the progressive web app on mobile generally. Sometimes browser on mobile

Supposedly he's gonna add kbin support also. I hope he changes the name to be more broad, like Sync for Fediverse. Or Synciverse or something.

@NormalTownLeader Hmm -- doesn't seem to me. They compare themselves to Reddit on their about page. I think it's just the fact that it is an app and has a similar layout to Discord that gives those vibes. The actual communities and posting style seem more Reddit/forum to me, or perhaps a hybrid of sorts.

@NudelnAlDente Not sure there's really any set ways, but I'd personally use a microblog with hashtags if I wanted some reach beyond kbin or the community I'm posting to. That said, it seems like folks on kbin might favor threads in general, perhaps because it's most similar the posts on Reddit where many of us have come from.

Designer here. You could try searching for communities on the fediverse dedicated to design/web design/3D/etc and contacting someone if you like their work or just making a post about it if allowed, or a mastodon/microblog post with lots of related hashtags. Or if you really wanna widen the net, you can try looking on Twitter/Threads/Dribbble/etc. for people you like and contacting them.

I'll have to wait for kbin support to try that one it seems. Looks decent though

You can also hit ⊞ Win + . and go to the emoticons section.

I don't have experience with it myself, but you could perhaps try Element: https://element.io/

Nah, it's pretty clear when you open Threads and it says literally "Log in with Instagram". It's like logging into YouTube with your Google account and then being mad that deleting your "YouTube account" deletes your Google account. You can always disable your YouTube or Threads profile.
