The Redditor's Guide to How Kbin Works.

If you know anyone who is trying to figure out what/how to use Kbin, share this post to them.

Joining Kbin 👥 Steps: Go to Kbin's Homepage , click at " Instances ", and choose one of the listed Kbin instances.   Explanation: Think of choosing an instance like choosing your email client/provider (ie: choosing between Gmail, Yahoo mail or Outlook).
