Dear not-so-techy KBeans ;)
While @ernest and the other instance admins are working on infrastructure, let’s work together to improve the getting-started experience of users new to Kbin.
Share any graphics, FAQs, guides, or other valuable resources you’ve discovered (don’t forget to give credit!) or created by posting them in this thread. Remember, not everyone’s perfect, so if something in a resource isn’t exactly correct, just point that out in your comment! A little clarification goes a long way.
These can later be congregated into a dedicated magazine for new users to reference (was thinking /m/GettingStarted? Lmk).
I’ll start it off:
- A small FAQ to hopefully help new users to kbin
- Here are some shortcuts for your old reddit habits
- A guide aimed at Redditors for Kbin and Lemmy!
- Tips for a new user!
- What Makes Up Each Timeline?
EDIT: @gettingstarted (mobile link) is up! Continue to use this thread for questions and content. Our goal is creating structured guides for users to follow over at @gettingstarted, but we need content to do that.
E: First, very sloppy intro guide is up here.
Is there any way like-minded communities could voluntarily have all their discussions automatically merged for identical links submitted within a 12-hour range or something?
That way the community isn’t fragmented with lots of very similar discussions occurring in repeated posts in the feed.
