Still yet another article listing Reddit alternatives, but surprisingly this one mentions both Lemmy & Kbin (kbin.social)

No Squabbles.io, Tildes, or Discuit, but somehow digs deep enough to find Saidit.net, Hive, Quora (IRK!?), 4Chan (spit-take: yes, you read that correctly), Imgur, Slashdot, and 9Gag (hey, I did not write this, alright?:-P), and # 15 is Digg!

You said you wanted to know if Kbin was mentioned in the media though, so here it is:-D.

It's good to see Lemmy getting some love, athough I did get a chuckle at the "this whole fediverse concept is so hard to get your head around" stuff. They are so used to being fed what the algorithm delivers that they are lost without it. It's so touchingly Orwellian.

“this whole fediverse concept is so hard to get your head around”

Respectfully, I think this is because join-lemmy.org is confusing. Here are the simple instructions I give people:

  1. Go to https://kbin.social/ and start reading.

  2. If you want to join, click "Log In" at the top, and then "Register"

Everything else they can figure out as they go along.

Tbf, it is a bit difficult for the average person to wrap their head around.

For instance, did you know that water can come in multiple forms!? Woah... :-P
