If the concept of federation is confusing or daunting why would having it be more visible help? Genuine question.
Sign up, browse stuff, comment on stuff, curate your feed by subbing, all the other details are just noise.
Caveat: Unless you're on a small instance that isn't aware of the communities you might want. But let's face it, if the concept of federation is confusing you you probably didn't join some micro instance hosted by your mate Joe.
Because otherwise you end up with multiple copies of communities all sharing the same name with no clear distinction. It also adds context to any comments that are discussing things like site bugs, or are using conventions common to other platforms like Mastodon that translate strangely to Kbin.
Also it's just kinda cool seeing what servers other people are from.
Thing is. That's no different to anything your average reddit migrator would have done? This sub about topic slow? boring? full of trolls? Search for another. Oh look, there's this other one with the similar name, it's got more people on it, I'll sub to that too.
The literal only difference is that now the alternatives can have the same name*
*assuming you ignore the @instance.domain bit at the end.
