Ok so far. Missing some subs that i was active on at Reddit, but maybe they will show up eventually.
Only thing i don’t realy get is what the point of having it divided in different service is, when it is all going to show up everywhere else anyways. I go to Lemmy and i get kbin and mastodon post, i go to kbin and i get lemmy posts…

You can think of them like different email clients. Sure, different email clients all send and receive the same messages via IMAP / POP / SMTP, but they offer different user experiences. Some users might prefer Thunderbird, others Outlook, etc.
Same thing with Lemmy, kbin, and Mastodon. They all post content via ActivityPub, but some users might prefer the microblogging experience of Mastodon, or the UI of Lemmy or Kbin. I am sure other projects will come along too if the Fediverse takes off that caters to other users’ needs.

Now no one has full control over everything and fucks it all up like reddit
Ditto here. I’m using wefwef as the front-end on my iPhone (it’s a decent PWA Apollo clone for Lemmy - very well polished!).
It reminds me a lot of the early days of reddit when it was just the tech bros, those niche subs will fill in as the user base grows
