I am on wefwef + lemmy.world and it has been smooth for me. Only issues came from the user surge. Content is easily searchable, wefwef has a "Home", "Local", and "All" sorting options for communities you see. I find it all very simple, no idea what other people are talking about.
Yes, that's because lemmy.world does not attempt to include mastodon content, as far as I know. From what I can tell, kbin is trying to be one website that works like reddit and twitter at the same time, which is going to be a bit complicated at best.
I did not know that. But it appears it interacts nontheless. I can see how magezines might confuse people as its odd nomenclature. But honestly the biggest issue is the multiples of subgroups with the same names.
Edit: also this double comment stuff but that is an issue with my app as far as I am aware.
Sorry, at this point you're talking about things I don't understand. The nomenclature I'm familiar with is "instances" and "communities". I don't know what a magazine, multiple, or subgroup refers to in this context.
Magazines are what kbin refers to as its "communities" (lemmy) or subreddits. I just said subgroup as a general term but I can see how non-tech people can be confused. If these places want to interact with each other they need common names.
I wouldn't call myself non-tech per se, but the shifting terminology conflicts with my attempts to be precise. As a new user of the fediverse it's become kinda clear that kbin has some of its own culture going on, since things are a little more established over there. When you mentioned multiples or subgroups, I assumed that was analogous to multireddits in some way, which isn't something I've seen implemented yet.
If you search a community on lemmy right now and change the scope to all there will be multiple "sublemmys", or whatever you want to call these collections of related posts. I see that as being a little bit of an issue for mass adoption. I apologize, thats all I meant. Kbin does have its own thing, I'm subscribed to some stuff and have my own account over there as well. Its a little more complex that is true. I'm actually amazed all these different "sites" are interacting like this.
