- If you go to your profile settings, it should be the first option on the page

So far I've been browsing all-hot and all-newest mainly, to find new communities to subscribe to (and some to block). At some point, probably soon considering the growth in the threadiverse, I'll switch my home page to subscribed. I comment wherever I feel like it, but I've only posted on kbin.social so far.
I collected some resources that can help in this post, like the aforementioned lemmyverse.net. Another useful trick I’ve found is going to instances dedicated to specific interests (like programming.dev) and browsing their communities list.
The first couple links in my post are kbin specific but the rest should be useful to everybody!
And to not even have feature parity (no polls, for example) and not be able to view NSFW posts...
On the other hand, I think the Reddit migration has a lot better chance of succeeding than any attempts at Twitter or YouTube or Twitch migration.
On the three other sites I mentioned, you’re following specific people. If those people don’t make the jump to a new platform, there’s little reason for you to make the jump either - you’re not going to see the content you want on the new site. Reddit and kbin and lemmy, on the other hand, are community based. I can talk about movies and woodworking and programming memes here just as well as I can on Reddit. The content is the discussion, and anywhere you can find groups of like-minded people, you’ll get that content.
Other people have mentioned the monetization angle for content creators, which is another factor that doesn’t apply to community-based sites. Hell, a large part of the complaints against Reddit is that they are relying on free content and free moderation. So that barrier isn’t holding people back here.
Last point, at least for YouTube and Twitch, is that video hosting and streaming is expensive - any competitor, if they want to gain serious traction, is going to need a lot of money behind it.
$13 a year or $1.50 a month for Apollo - not that much

Calling a community [x]Porn that's just SFW high-quality photos of something (eg EarthPorn, RoomPorn, etc). Leave that naming convention in the 2010s.
Hi from kbin!
It's private again, and tbh, if Reddit is replacing mods, r/Tumblr would be an odd place to start. Not putting much stock in this rumor.
Are Tesla charging stations already required to include CCS plugs?
