If you are usually a reddit lurker and are on here, it would be cool if you can try and engage with communities for a bit, just to try and get the ball rolling :)

I have been using KBIN since yesterday and Lemmy since the beginning of June. I was completely convinced that the Up Arrow was an Upvote until i saw this post. What kind of bonkers design decision was this? I know that Kbin wants to differentiate itself from Reddit, but this is really counterintuitive.
What is the up arrow then if not an upvote? I’m on Lemmy Jerboa so the available up arrow (I’m from Beehaw so no downvotes) seems like an upvote to me.
I wonder if the fediverse would be easier for people if we brought back forum-style comment signatures… For example, I’m on Lemmy using the Jerboa Android app so everything will look different compared to what you’re doing on KBIN.
Might be a super cool way to show new users the vast diversity of access experiences possible if there were a tiny automatic darker coloured line in the comment subscript showing what access point/app the poster was using when they made their comment. It would also help new people not be as confused because people wouldn’t think that certain design features are available when they are talking about a different version of the fediverse/app. For example, apparently Mastodon allows users to interact with Lemmy but Lemmy users can’t go on Mastodon (yet…?). I really like the popular guy who always makes it clear that he is posting on Lemmy from Mastodon - it was an incredibly inspiring thing to learn about the fediverse and its possibilities.
