For me, it’s a few things.

  1. A way to burn time that doesn’t feel like a digital sugar rush.

  2. Support, camaraderie, and kindness, primarily from /r/stopdrinking.

  3. Niche stuff, like ideas for local hiking and backpacking trips, propaganda posters, and kayaking info.

    I’m also commenting to you on Fedia! Lol I ended up here because I wasn’t able to understand how this worked on kbin. In due time it won’t matter, and I can decide whether or not kbin or Fedia is the instance for me. I’ll stay here now though as it’ll let me get my feet wet with how this stuff all works.

      Are you me? Are we us? Am I you? I’ve got accounts on both and just trying to wrap my head around it.

        I’m figuring it out I think. I think my questions now pertain to how the community will be somewhat unified, but I guess that goes against the “spirit” of federated content. The point seems to be to build smaller communities that fit what you want, but at the expense of bulk content. Less users posting more stuff each in more locations.
