#Kbin update:

• The https://kbin.social server is now federating with the Fediverse. You can follow/interact with kbin.social magazines & users from other Kbin servers, Mastodon & rest of the Fediverse. For example the TIL magazine is at @TodayILearned, the lead dev of Kbin is at @ernest

• There's a new Kbin server at https://readit.buzz which is run by the same people as the Universodon.com Mastodon server. It's open for signups, just click "log in" and then "register".

#Welcome!

There's no algorithm here, directing people to your posts (or sending you ads😀), so be sure to use & #follow hashtags, as well as #FollowBack accounts that interest you. The more you interact with other accounts, the better your feed will be.

You should be sure to check out and follow these accounts for great helpful advice about the #Fediverse:

As a soon to be #RedditRefugee, what's the deal with #Lemmy? My main question at the moment is how are communities coalescing on instances? Like, what's stopping 8 different instances from hosting a politics, funny, startrek, or canada community, and how do we manage to decide on where we talk about each?
