Trying to “recruit” more folks in Kbin but I think I lack enough information to describe Kbin effectively.

“It’s like Reddit but it’s in the fediverse world. It’s a new thing, gaining speed fast and it has less chances to get corrupted because of the fediverse thingie compared to Reddit (lol)!”

    It’s like multiple reddit sites, but they all work the same and the content and users are synced between them. So you can pick any one of them, follow topics and contact users from all of them, and if one site goes haywire we just ignore or block it and move on.

      The way that I explain it is quite similar to yours. It works, but you need to emphasise

      • that unlike in Reddit, there’s no central group of admins controlling the whole thing; and
      • that each instance has its own communities, and those are equivalent to subreddits.

      otherwise users start associating instances with subreddits.

        That’s how I explain it as well. It’s better than the email analogy I see all the time. Obviously using reddit as an example only works if the person you’re talking to knows what reddit is. Otherwise, I just change it to something they know (i.e. facebook, discord, etc.)
