Wow, logging onto kbin.social the past couple days and watching it become more and more reddit-y has sucked. People demanding new features, defending CP, the fuck is up? (kbin.social)

I knew using the Fediverse would require lots of personal curation, but I thought we were better than this. Could definitely see beehaw.org defederating from kbin.social soon :/

Trans people with accepting parents: How did your relationship change? in c/lgbtq_plus@beehaw.org

Yeah, my parents are pretty great. The funny thing is I think they expected me to change a lot but I'm really the same. Plus it got my mom really involved in local LGBT things which is swag.

Confused on how to navigate to the homepage on mobile in c/kbinMeta@kbin.social

When you click that logo, and it brings up that menu, there is a little "house" icon that brings you home :)

Isn't it ironic.... that we all left reddit because 3rd party apps were being killed off, and came to a place where there are no 3rd party apps. in c/showerthoughts@kbin.social

The thing is, this is a third party app. The platform we're on is the Fediverse, it's just third party apps. No, they don't provide the same thread-like experience that you get on kbin, but for now, there's not much a difference in simply browsing kbin instances from Mastodon apps or the similar. This isn't currently great for kbin.social with all the troubles federating, but explore your options!

Working Together to Improve /Kbin's Ease of Use for New Users (kbin.social)
 

Dear not-so-techy KBeans ;)

While @ernest and the other instance admins are working on infrastructure, let's work together to improve the getting-started experience of users new to Kbin.

Share any graphics, FAQs, guides, or other valuable resources you've discovered (don't forget to give credit!) or created by posting them in this thread. Remember, not everyone's perfect, so if something in a resource isn't exactly correct, just point that out in your comment! A little clarification goes a long way.

These can later be congregated into a dedicated magazine for new users to reference (was thinking /m/GettingStarted? Lmk).

I'll start it off:

EDIT: @gettingstarted (mobile link) is up! Continue to use this thread for questions and content. Our goal is creating structured guides for users to follow over at @gettingstarted, but we need content to do that.

E: First, very sloppy intro guide is up here.

Just me, or is this what I don't want for Kbin? This is a place for meaningful discussion, something Reddit used to be good at.
