Hey Kbin-folk, I’ve recently published my take on the “threadiverse” in the form of a quasi-guide but with some other commentary. Appreciate any feedback, good or bad!

I really Lemmy and Kbin. Both provide solid desktop experiences and app development is only accelerating.
One thing in particular I am having a hard time with is discovering communities. I know there are a couple websites dedicated to this but discovery on both Lemmy and Kbin is not very easy. This becomes compounded by the fact that some communities have fractured across numerous communities or magazines. Referencing different communities/magazines is also was more annoying than doing /r/dancing or whatever.
Is there a solution to these problems?
I haven’t had a problem ftmp. I sort by all>new/top day/hot/active and subscribe to what interests me on a whim.
Then if there is something specific, say poetry, I type “poetry” or “poet” in to the search and I get all the communities with that in the name. Subscribe. All of em.
Over time I naturally have a feed of my own making.
But right now, I am just sorting all and collecting communities and talking to people, and when finally there is more people, I will sort by subscribed.
I think the issue is just early stage social media being built ground up, and we’re all still figuring out what this place is even gonna be.
This is what I am doing too and think it is the way to go.
You wouldn’t catch me dead sorting by r/all on Reddit, but I have been doing so on kbin to just see what is out there and subbing to what is interesting. I also have been searching for various magazines/communities and subbing to a bunch of them since I don’t know which one will take off. Eventually I have hope i’ll have an active enough feed like I did on my homepage on Reddit, but I’m cool waiting it out and just seeing what sticks on the fediverse.
