As an old Redditor, I hated reposts or crossposts. This is not creating contents, it’s just flooding a sub/magazine with the same thing. Karma farming was a dumb thing that screwed content diversity.

The hard part of recreating the Reddit experience while kbin gets off the ground is that there’s very little stuff to repost.

So true

easy. repost from reddit

I've never been a Reddit user, can you explain what reposting is?

I think it's a good opportunity for renewal: since Kbin is so young, it doesn't have the vices or the overwhelming amount of contents from Reddit, while also having a simpler and less intimidating UI.
So if the user sees a magazine/community that seems even a little interesting, I think it's worth subscribing. There's a chance it's a good community the user always skipped on Reddit for the aforementioned reasons.
And that's also what I've been doing, and I certainly don't regret.
