@arth or a race to the top with the wittiest one liner. Or a serious thread just consisting of one liners. I’ve loved kbin for how verbose people can be on here, really getting into the spirit of discussing and debating. Proper conversations, not just pun after pun

@Otome-chan@kbin.social yeah I’ve noticed that too, the trolls don’t seem to be on kbin - kbin feels fresher and nicer in a way. Ernest has been doing a great job with this site

@themadcodger and the great thing is if a corner of the fediverse becomes too toxic, you can move to another instance and create a new less toxic community. This is where I love the concept of the fediverse, no walled garden

You are making sense, just remember your login does not travel between kbin and lemmy. When you are on kbin, you can search for communities on the server you joined or across the fediverse. The way to do that is community@instance.name

For example, say if I found out the beehaw.org server had an awesome gaming community, well I can just type gaming@beehaw.org into the search box and then subscribe to it. It will then federated into the server (the server will start pulling in new posts - but not old posts) that means others can now see it too. That’s why if you see the message that it’s not fully federated and you might see more on the original instance.

Your login is just a place to reside but with the fediverse, you can pull in content to view. Which helps as you don’t need multiple log ins for multiple services. I’ve seen a few people ask about people with the same username as theirs on other instances and that will happen but remember that your username is like email. You have username@instance.name, so whilst someone might share the same username, they’ll never be on the same instance. That’s how you tell others apart.

Hopefully that helps make sense!
