    I can see you’re on kbin, which as far as I have heard is unique in that it tries to unify lemmy and mastodon content. I’m unsure if that’s a good idea, I’m not sure how you’re meant to reconcile thread based link aggregation with microblogging feeds. Here on sh.itjust.works I have a set of options at the top of my feed that make it very easy to only see the content I’ve subscribed to. I’m honestly shocked to hear that it’s not so simple for you on your instance.

      I am on wefwef + lemmy.world and it has been smooth for me. Only issues came from the user surge. Content is easily searchable, wefwef has a “Home”, “Local”, and “All” sorting options for communities you see. I find it all very simple, no idea what other people are talking about.

        Yes, that’s because lemmy.world does not attempt to include mastodon content, as far as I know. From what I can tell, kbin is trying to be one website that works like reddit and twitter at the same time, which is going to be a bit complicated at best.

          Kbin mostly just needs to simplify its nomenclature and its lack of true mobile apps makes it a little lackluster.

          I did not know that. But it appears it interacts nontheless. I can see how magezines might confuse people as its odd nomenclature. But honestly the biggest issue is the multiples of subgroups with the same names.

          Edit: also this double comment stuff but that is an issue with my app as far as I am aware.

            Sorry, at this point you’re talking about things I don’t understand. The nomenclature I’m familiar with is “instances” and “communities”. I don’t know what a magazine, multiple, or subgroup refers to in this context.

              Magazines are what kbin refers to as its “communities” (lemmy) or subreddits. I just said subgroup as a general term but I can see how non-tech people can be confused. If these places want to interact with each other they need common names.

                I wouldn’t call myself non-tech per se, but the shifting terminology conflicts with my attempts to be precise. As a new user of the fediverse it’s become kinda clear that kbin has some of its own culture going on, since things are a little more established over there. When you mentioned multiples or subgroups, I assumed that was analogous to multireddits in some way, which isn’t something I’ve seen implemented yet.

                  If you search a community on lemmy right now and change the scope to all there will be multiple “sublemmys”, or whatever you want to call these collections of related posts. I see that as being a little bit of an issue for mass adoption. I apologize, thats all I meant. Kbin does have its own thing, I’m subscribed to some stuff and have my own account over there as well. Its a little more complex that is true. I’m actually amazed all these different “sites” are interacting like this.
