I'm new to Kbin, and I can't find where to browse communities (whether located on Kbin or, more usefully, across the Fediverse).

I also joined a Lemmy instance, and there it is straightforward:
https://feddit.uk/communities/listing_type/All/page/1

That link lets me scroll through all the communities, or search.

I do see the magnifying glass, so I can search for communities. But I don't see a way to browse communities.

I like other things about the Kbin layout and feel, so I'd like to try to stay here. But so far it doesn't seem easy to browse the Fediverse communities here.

(Also, I was trying to add a POST, but I don't know how to do that. Just switched me over to MICROBLOG. This is not very straightforward.)

@GoodKingElliot I'm going to follow this because I keep getting routed to microblogging instead of actual posting.

That said, if you want to find different forums, click "Magazine" at the top toolbar, and it will route you to different forums. You can then "Subscribe" and/or "Search" like you would for Subreddits. If you click on the dropdown menu next to your username, it will give a few different "view" options. click "Subscribed" to select a feed of your subscriptions. It is not default, and if you want to view subscription feed right now you have to choose it every time. If you click on the kbin icon at the left it will give you the equivalent of "r/all."

You need to submit an "article" in order to make a thread iirc.

@can Ahh yes, I can see that now. Thanks! It has been a little confusing, so I appreciate the help!
