"Tanky" and the perception of Lemmy. (lemmy.world)

I've been trying to make people aware of Lemmy on discord and Mastodon, but it's always met with resistance citing "the devs are pro authoritarianism tankies." Kbin seems to be picking up steam because of the developer baggage.

Do you feel like this negative perception will hamstring Lemmy's growth?

Is "Magazine" just a community/subreddit/forum? I took a quick look at Kbin and found the terminology odd. I would have expected something called a "magazine" to combine communities or something, but I couldn't otherwise find any communities on Kbin.

    It is. A magazine is essentially a subreddit. I too found kbin a bit confusing at first but it's not so bad once you get used to it. One thing I really don't like about kbin is all of your up/downvotes, boosts, magazines you're subscribed to, etc. are exposed for everyone to see.

    Thanks for the info. I had a closer look at Kbin today, and it wasn't apparent how visible which things were. Finding info over there is also a challenge, because all documentation/help articles are pretty much aimed at admins setting up servers, which I'm not ready to do.
