Finding a good analogy is hard. But at the risk of sounding like a snob, a little barrier to entry isn't always a bad thing...
The thought of trying to explain this to one of our users (helpdesk monke). No thanks...

So if you set up say a cycling group on kbin, you can also make the group watch the #cycling tag, any any mastodon or other micoblogging content will appear on a special tab in your cycling group.
Now that is a powerful feature. Great way to fill a feed with content too.
I'm sort of one of them? I mean I'm married, got my own place, now got a stable job etc, but I barely ever see my friends (all moved away), and my work friends from an old job I have just lost touch with.
Trying to replace the online social life with Lemmy, maybe something like IRC? Who knows.
