How can we smooth out the migration and help promote kbin/lemmy to subreddits and redditors? (kbin.social)

I think the biggest thing we need to figure out is how to make it sound easier than people say it is. People get too hung up on the technicalities of how the fediverse works, and they never try it out and see that it isn't as confusing as it sounds. If we could write up a simple blurb to help promote kbin to subreddit moderators and people around reddit, I think that could really help

I think people need to cut the bullshit and tell it how it is:

  • This whole fediverse thing ISN’T user friendly nor it is as practical as the main community platforms out there. This isn’t a substitute for Reddit.
  • Content and interaction is lacking, but it’s up to us to change that.
  • The communities are VERY fragmented. Between instances, some instances using exclusively microblogs, others using microblogs and threads… some magazines having their individual rules on which content should be microblogged and what should be threaded, duplicated communities across instances… it’s all a mess right now.

And after all, there’s something here worth building and following. Right now it’s underwhelming but who knows… maybe in a decade Jenny will use Kbin to write a quick rant about boba tea, and have other thousands of non-techies engaging with her.
