Commenting from kbin. I actually feel kbin is a more reddit-like site and beginner friendly. and I love that we can interact from different sites.

I am more of a forum-type user and not a microblogger, so I liked that aspect of it all. I dislike Mastodon because of the "shout to the void" style that people post on there. I like a site that has sub-communities that all aggregate into a front-page, but this is a little different as I subscribe to individual sites rather than a moderated community within a monopolated site like Reddit.

So rather than a Reddit alternative, I actually like it as a re-thought forum. I've also enjoyed the culture of the fediverse of "we're not here to attack everything you say" so I've felt more open to comment rather than lurk.

Just going to add that I joined kbin today and it's been a really good experience. Quick loading, consistent login, etc
