I feel like a highlighted basic “kbin how to” on the frontpage would really help kbin in the beginning, I still feel like I don’t know exactly how all of this works, didn’t knew what things like “boost” means, the difference between adding a new article/ post/ photo is still not clear to me. Just a really simple 1 minute how to would really help this page get going and help stranded redditors and new people :)

      thanks!
      nah, managble at the moment, just feel I’m not the only one finding it not so clear cut when it comes to how kbin and the whole new concept of fediverse works( seeing a lot of the same questions asked over and over again by other users as well), super stoked tho on what this will hopefully become :)

    Funny you should say that because created a magazine this morning for this exact reason!

    It’s called m/quickstart and it’s intended to get new users up an running as quickly as possible. Don’t expect too much there’s literally 2 subscribers and it’s basically just me posting mobile screenshots on the microblog with the tag #quickstart.

    This is a great idea, coming from someone that’s joined this week. There’s a load of useful information across the various magazines/threads but it’s been a case of digging through and learning bit-by-bit. Having a smoother new user experience can only be a good thing to grow the community

      You can go to your Profile page > Subscriptions but it’s not ideal, it’s a card-like grid instead of a simple list to search or sort through. It’s also missing an import/export option to easily sync subscriptions between different accounts.
