Advice for new folks from #reddit –
Hello and welcome. Please note that we don’t yet have a robust Reddit replacement because the two we have (#lemmy and #kbin) are still in really rough betas with features being hammered out by volunteers. Reddit had the gall to implode when these projects are at most some months old, but it isn’t as if current Reddit is into doing anyone any favors, huh?
So please have patience as you re-orient yourself. Unlike Reddit, nobody in the Fediverse made a deal with the devils known as Venture Capitalism. This means we don’t have to pay the piper when interest rates make the bottom fall out of our funding, but also means we don’t have the speed of development that funding can sometimes yield.
I recommend taking some time to decompress and experiment with how things work on Kbin and Lemmy. If you have feedback, give it to the devs.
And don’t feel bound to these networks. You are the captain of your ship.
Smooth sailing and good winds to you.
