Moving over from reddit as well and it would help if there was a summary for what the new terminology are such as microblogging and magazines and if these terminology have the same meaning across the fediverse.
Also when I subscribe to a community based in Lemmy why does Kbin show only how many people are subscribed from Kbin. It doesn't impact usage but it did add to the confusion. I'm probably still using the wrong terminology.
Otherwise I'm liking what I'm seeing and hoping to be on this long term :)

For some reason I can't log into the web portal, and I still haven't figured out how to subscribe to a community.
It’s easier than I was expecting, but still growing pains. I assume that there just aren’t communities set up for some of the game-specific subreddits I was on (Zelda, Genshin, Star Rail, etc.) but I don’t know that I’d really expect there to be yet.
I also noticed that some people have profile pictures/avatars and I can’t figure out how to set that. I assume it’s because I just made my account today though that I’m not able to yet.
So, I think Kbin and Lemmy are separate pieces of software operating on the fediverse. But since they speak the same language you can interact cross platform. Interestingly, seems that kbin supports even more fediverse platforms than lemmy. I've been able to use kbin to follow mastadon users.

Worried about the future of fediverse, all it takes is a few external bad apples and servers will start defederating. Also even less internal bad apples who decides to make specific desirable features proprietary with the goal to amass the majority to users. Both of these are bad for the fediverse.
Long time Reddit user and I find Lemmy easier to navigate. I’m used to Mastodon so maybe that’s a factor.
