I’m a bit confused as to what platform I should look to for my exodus from Reddit. First we have Lemmy which is a direct Reddit alternative. Then we have kbin which is ALSO is own Reddit alternative AND portal to Lemmy/Mastodon. Finally we have Mastodon which is the well established Twitter alternative that doesn’t really portal to Lemmy or Kbin.

I’m ok with Mastodon being it’s own thing, but what about Lemmy and Kbin? Kbin seems more secure and flexible but Lemmy is longer running with apps available on iOS and Android.

Which do you think you’ll be gravitating towards?

Is there any good documentation about how to go about doing this? What's the user experience like?

Not that i am aware of. Howerlver users are always @user@domain from what i have seen and you can always copy a link into your instance search box and get the resulting profile post, comment, whatever to surface
