Hello! I’m Jake and I’m slowly getting my head around kbin (and by extension, Lemmy).
Perhaps spinning up a kbin instance wasn’t the easiest way to start out 🤣

Mastodon: @ja
OpenSUSE 10.2 I think. Then Ubuntu 7.04. Stuck with it until they moved to the Unity DE.
Then Xubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, Kubuntu…
Recently moved to Linux Mint Cinnamon as I got fed up of more of the base system being Snaps.
I did try Mint MATE but the need for more modern built in features won over the nostalgia 🤣
Fantastic news. Well done, and enjoy!
I’ll try my best.
I usually lurked, threw the odd vote out there but usually kept to myself on Reddit.
I was already on Mastodon so am familiar with the fediverse, but setting up a kbin instance was a learning curve and a half!
Took me a while to work out how to find and subscribe to magazines on other instances, but shortly after I did I realised that you can subscribe to Lemmy communities in the same way. No more worrying about which app is busier, as it just doesnt matter too much. Just use what you prefer, its the fediverse way.
I’m eagerly awaiting the Android app 👍
Check out Pixelfed for an Instagram replacement. Seems to fill the same sort of use case
