Welcome to Delorean’s new home on Lemmy. This is where the /r/Delorean subreddit has migrated to. kbin is a new place that most are not familiar with and it’s important to provide some information to help you out.
What is Lemmy?
Lemmy is a decentralized site that is part of the “threadiverse”. What this means is anyone can set up a Lemmy site and they all talk to each other.
Think of it like email. You sign up with Gmail, Hotmail, etc but you can send and receive email with anyone regardless of what email provider they use. Kbin (and alternate sites like kbin) do the same thing but for a Reddit-like experience.
All these terms are different! What do they mean?
Communities are like subreddits. You’re reading this from the /m/Delorean magazine.
Posts are normal posts with a title and body (this is an article post). Default to this for what you would consider a “text-only” Reddit-style post.
Can I use this like Reddit and not have to worry about all this other stuff?
Absolutely. Just post however you want and get the hang of this place. Others will chime in and the community will grow.
I have more questions!
Just comment below and I’ll do my best to answer them.
