What Kbin needs right now (kbin.social)

Reddit was great, but not because of third party apps, not because of quality moderators, not because of the development or corporate oversight ... Reddit was great because of the content. Everything else was how that content was handled to create a great user experience. If there's no content to handle, there's no Reddit.

So, if Kbin is going to work and take off, it needs content to handle. Content for moderators to moderate, apps to display, developers to create for. I basically just lurked on Reddit for the past 5 years because there was plenty of content and I didn't need to contribute, but if Kbin is going to succeed, those who want a change need to contribute.

And by that I mean more than just coming to /m/RedditMigration to morn or grieve or track what Reddit is doing. Find that magazine that you want to flourish and contribute (even if it means reposting from Reddit). Give everyone who is visiting and trying things out a reason to stay and comment.

When people migrated from Digg to reddit, they thought reddit looked strange. New UIs aren't too hard to get into, people browse multiple different UIs per website every day.
