Trying to “recruit” more folks in Kbin but I think I lack enough information to describe Kbin effectively.

“It’s like Reddit but it’s in the fediverse world. It’s a new thing, gaining speed fast and it has less chances to get corrupted because of the fediverse thingie compared to Reddit (lol)!”

    The way that I explain it is quite similar to yours. It works, but you need to emphasise

    • that unlike in Reddit, there’s no central group of admins controlling the whole thing; and
    • that each instance has its own communities, and those are equivalent to subreddits.

    otherwise users start associating instances with subreddits.

      That’s how I explain it as well. It’s better than the email analogy I see all the time. Obviously using reddit as an example only works if the person you’re talking to knows what reddit is. Otherwise, I just change it to something they know (i.e. facebook, discord, etc.)
