so, ok, I'm on #mastodon and I am not a #redditor but I have lots of friends who are and what do I tell them about instances when they ask about #RedditMigration ?

becuase the questions are not about #kbin or #lemmy or understanding the #fediverse

they are like the previous waves. "What server do I choose?"

@draNgNon Be me, super newb at all of this.

Redditor for 12+ years and looking for something else, never liked twitter or mainstream social media (insta, facebook etc) You see, I’m a #lurker

Here’s what I ended up doing after deleting my Reddit app:

1. Signed up for Mastodon.world
2. Looked up Lemmy and Kbin, joined both via the @lemmyworld and @kbin respectively.
3. Now I’m using Mastodon to #lurk on magazines/threads from across the #fediverse

YMMV

@jhonatan this is interesting. so you joined those with your mastodon account? or made 3 accounts and are using the mastodon one to lurk?

@draNgNon @jhonatan You can follow a Lemmy "community" or kbin "Magazine" (both the equivalent of a subreddit) using your Mastodon account. You just follow @<Community_Name>@<Server_address> just like you'd follow a Mastodon account. You'll see new posts from the community/magazine on your home timeline.
