What is incredibly exciting about #RedditMigration is the rate at which the #Fediverse is adding capacity. In the last few days, well established and very capable Mastodon server operators have been adding #kbin and #Lemmy instances.
kbin:
infosec.exchange >>> https://fedia.io
universeodon.com >>> https://readit.buzz
Lemmy:
infosec.exchange >>> https://infosec.pub
mastodon.world >>> https://lemmy.world
mstdn.social >>> https://u.fail
We got this!
Because #kbin is so new, there is not a lot of good user documentation. In particular, you don't get a prompt to check your email and if you miss it you don't get another chance.
If you plan on signing up for #kbin, you can follow the instructions here:

Also it is kind of non-intuitive to figure out how to edit your profile.

Attached: 1 image How to Sign Up for #kbin 1. Go to https://fedia.io (or other instance) >>> Log in 2. Register 3. Fill in Username, Email, Password and Repeat password >>> Click Consent... >>> Register 4. IMPORTANT! NOW CHECK YOUR EMAIL (MAYBE SPAM FOLDER) look for email and click Confirm... 5. Fill in Login or email, Password >>> Click Remember me >>> Login 6. And there you are! Check top right to see your user name. #RedditMigration #SignUp
@Kiloku Good point. It's complicated. While it is often cited as a feature that you can see other app content on Mastodon, the actual utility of this is kind of limited since they organize content differently.
What is a huge benefit, however is that under the hood they all run the same engine, so from an operations, scalability and moderation perspective the Fediverse has a huge advantage.
That said, as the apps mature I suspect that more content interoperability features will emerge.
It's worth remembering that some things are also not solvable. Lemmy/kbin vs Mastodon serve entirely different purposes, so some features are fundamentally incompatible.
(And TBH not everyone wants some of the features other instances have)
