Unlike Reddit, kbin natively supports posting pics in comments 📸
How to set an avatar: Click 'your-username' (on the top-right of the page) --> 'Settings' --> 'Profile' (in the appearing horizontal menu). I overlooked the horizontal menu a dozen times.
Subreddits are called Magazines here
The ethfinance magazine that @kbrot set up for us lives on the main kbin server, https://kbin.social - if you check its homepage, you'll see posts from other magazines too, such as news, RedditMigration, or unpopularopinion
The default sorting of our daily thread is "hot" (=nr of upvotes), you gotta switch manually to "newest" every time (sigh) if you prefer that
Like on reddit, we can upvote threads (updoot the diddly) as well as individual comments/replies
We're still missing a choo-choo-train or some other banner. Can magazines have banner pictures @kbrot?
Federation, the hallmark feature of kbin, is switched off temporarily. Check out the kbin-alternative Lemmy to see how it works: The homepage of the lemmy.ml server curently also displays threads originally created on the lemmy servers beehaw.org, lemmy.world, and feddit.de. In the comments of such threads, you see accounts registered on a variety lemmy servers, such as lemmy.one, sh.itjust.works, sopuli.xyz, etc. Federation means the servers talk to each other to enable cross-commenting and cross-viewing.
