One can follow Lemmy (and I presume Kbin, though that I have not tested myself) communities directly from any other fedi instance. For example, I am following @technology directly from my account here.
Now that Lemmy/Kbin have become pretty active, this might be a decent way of getting new fedi users to have a better on-boarding experience.
Just suggest a few active communities to them, and bam, plenty of interesting stuff gets boosted into their timeline. 🤔
@rysiek @technology I heard about #kbin and tried loading https://kbin.social/ only to see the landing page of #cloudflare . Pretty disappointing. If people want to avoid the centralization of sites like reddit… well this is centralization on steroids.
@federico3 you can bet kbin.social is being hammered with insane traffic. Reddit about Kbin migration got banned and then un-banned, so Streisand effect iis at work.
There are other Kbin instances, though there are not many of them:

So people need to start setting up Kbin instances to spread the load. 🙂
