I miss that i could google something, write reddit in the end and the results would be honest and not ads or trash

I think the biggest thing that I didn't really notice at first was just how Reddit 'works'. It was very much 'what you see is what you get' and didn't really take much to figure out how to use it.

With anything new though there's a learning curve and after 24 hours or so on kbin, I'm starting to figure out how this and the wider Fediverse works and it's feeling more and more like home.

Also Reddit is also 18 years old (in a few days) and has 52million+ users so there's obviously more content. As this platform grows it will be easier to get the content you want but at the moment it's going to take some work from the user to search for magazines and contribute.

Yeah you say that but...do you remember first going there and seeing like "TIL" "AMA" "AITA" "ELI5" etc shouted at you and having NO IDEA what any of these things meant and it made 0 sense at first?

Yeah very true but I suppose those are just anagrams and each sub has their own in a lot of ways. The user experience of 'Front Page', 'Subreddits' and how to subscribe to them and navigate the site is what I was referring to.

I just recently figured out what IANAL meant after a decade plus on Reddit.

i definitely agree.. Now the site feels natural.
