New social media route experiment, kbin
Hey folks: I know it's a drag to watch yet another social media site and create new logins and such, but for those who might be interested there's a reddit-like alternative underway in early experimentation.
https://kbin.social/m/somerville
The m/somerville thing is analogous to a subreddit like r/somerville--but they call them "magazines" there. You can post a link to an article, upload an image, all the typical stuff.
It's hard to migrate, and I know that nobody wants to move until there's more content. But there's only more content if people contribute to it. Very chicken-egg status.
I used this FAQ to get started and begin to understand the terminology and functions: https://kbin.social/m/kbinfaqs@kilioa.org/t/20459/A-small-FAQ-to-hopefully-help-new-users-to-kbin
