    This would have helped me years ago when I was kind of confused on Mastodon. Very nice intro to new users.

    Great graphic. The only thing that is unmentioned and potentially confusing is that the same community names can exist on multiple instances, just like email addresses can do.

    I don’t know how to easily boil that down to a simple graphic.

    I find that comparing it to email makes it click the fastest. Everyone knows that you can email someone no matter which email provider they use.

    Thank you, this is very well made and covers all the basic questions!

    I’d also like to add that you can get very cool usernames by joining smaller instances, since usernames don’t have to be unique between instances ;)

    Where does kbin fit with lemmy? Is it a competitor? I see a lot of posts pointing to lemmy communities. Can people create new kbin communities like lemmy?

    Kbin reminds me of slashdot, maybe it’s the UI

      Thanks for asking this!

      I set up accounts on both in the hysteria of leaving reddit.

      I think I get how the various lemmys work/interact, I just don’t know how Kbin fits into the picture.

      I am just using my laptop, not on mobile devices yet.

      Third day here, so still learning and giving lots of time and patience for the dust to settle
