A few questions about how kbin works (kbin.social)

So, I have some doubts about a few things, if they are even possible/if they are working as intended/if they are coming soon.

1- Is it the intended beheaviour that the numbers of subscriptions seen from kbin and seen from Lemmy differ?

2- Is there any way to search for a username?

3- When searching for communities, will there be a way to filter/order by nuber of Threads/Comments/Posts?

4- I prefer in my home to look at content I've subscribed to, is there a way to set it as my preference to not look at the ALL page, but subscribed page instead?

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

I can give you some answers, right now there's a lot of improvements and changes happening behind the scenes.

3 - that's been actively discussed over at the dev channel, I think the overarching goal will be to make a more indepth search with filtering. I definitely think a 'context ' drop-down would be great here, show me just users, magazines or articles that march xyz

4 - that sounds like a good candidate for a user setting, being able to choose from top, hot, newest or active, having another top like that just shows your subscriptions might be handy too.

Go to https://kbin.social/settings/general and choose the Subscribed home page.

So, I'm no expert. But my understanding is that

that's intended (because you're subscribed to a "kbin mirror" of the OG community if I got this right)
yes, "@FirstSeaLord@kbin.social" or for lemmy instances "@example_user@lemmy.world" (didn't want to use an actual user name here youknow)
idk, probably/hopefully?
yes, under settings/general/appearances you can change that.

edit: what I'm personally waiting for is the opportunity to search with wildcards. So like "@news@lemmy.*" for all lemmy instances with communities named news.
