As a former redditor I am glad to have found a new “home” and I hope I’m not intruding. Nevertheless, we are all a huge migration that is bound to change how kbin works and we’re bound to piss off some pre-migration Keebinetters. The fact you guys were here before and not in reddit makes evident you don’t want this to become a carbon copy of reddit. From the interface to the group dynamics, please lets us now…

What can we do NOT to ruin kbin for you?

    AFAIK /kbin is pretty new, even more so than Lemmy, I’ve been here for some days and the explosion of users is honestly insane, but also pretty exciting to see.
    Also the users that have migrated so far have been “high quality” and really friendly, in my opinion users like you, like us, are pretty much the base of what /kbin will be.
    We have to keep in mind that this site is not Reddit and probably never will be, but that’s what I like the most about it.

        Considering that we were able to make 3 letter usernames, we’ve gotta be in the first few thousand.

            I spent like an hour going back and forth about whether to keep the original spelling, number, and multiple underscores in my old name because that was just how my main always was and I haven’t had a non-numeric handle in decades.

            Suddenly realized the sheer specificity of it meant googling my user could easily find the most ancient stuff, got creeped out, dropped it immediately. Now all anyone who tries to find me is getting is Victorian era poetry and pictures of plants.

            Become unsearchable.

        Yeah, more or less. I’ve been on the fediverse for a little bit, but about a month ago it was mainly just the dev Ernest posting to himself. The fact that this is still in prototype phase and working as well as it does is frankly amazing. Timing wasn’t great with reddit imploding now, since it’s a bit trial by fire, but I’m really excited about where we’re going.
