Hello! I'm Jake and I'm slowly getting my head around kbin (and by extension, Lemmy).
Perhaps spinning up a kbin instance wasn't the easiest way to start out 🤣

FakeJake,

Or even just Linux Mint (non-debian edition). I've moved to that as it's a familiar Ubuntu base but without snaps.

FakeJake,

The threadiverse is just the name given to all of the Lemmy and Kbin instances as a whole.

FakeJake,

Check out Pixelfed for an Instagram replacement. Seems to fill the same sort of use case

FakeJake,

OpenSUSE 10.2 I think. Then Ubuntu 7.04. Stuck with it until they moved to the Unity DE.
Then Xubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, Kubuntu...
Recently moved to Linux Mint Cinnamon as I got fed up of more of the base system being Snaps.
I did try Mint MATE but the need for more modern built in features won over the nostalgia 🤣

FakeJake,

Fantastic news. Well done, and enjoy!

FakeJake,

This looks really good.

As an admin of a small kbin instance, I'll be keeping an eye on updates from you as this will be very handy!

FakeJake,

The great thing is that it doesn't matter which platform "wins" or not. They work together fine so you just use the one you prefer.

FakeJake,

This is basically me, except I'd say that Portal 2 was even better.

It's a sequel so it's not a new idea, but you can feel all the extra things that went into it. The awesome soundtrack, extra characters, and the enjoyable co-op mode.

And once you get to the end... "Well here we are again"

If a Portal 3 came out, it's the only game I think I'd 100% buy without hesitation.

FakeJake,

Jumping on this to mention two things:
Firstly, thanks to all that are helping develop this. Once I got our instance up and running i was impressed with the whole thing. Potentially related: I have more gray hairs now. Let's just say I'm glad to see that work is being done to simplify the docker setup and improve the admin documentation.

Secondly, one behaviour I've noticed is when searching for a new magazine/community, one of the instance admins is listed as owner and moderator and is automatically subscribed to this new (to our instance) magazine/community, and the created date is listed as when we first searched for it.
Is this a bug (known or otherwise) or expected behaviour? Just seems a bit odd...

FakeJake,

As a long term Sync for Reddit user, this is absolutely fantastic news!

"Nah man, watch this!"

FakeJake,

Aperture science

FakeJake,

I'll try my best.
I usually lurked, threw the odd vote out there but usually kept to myself on Reddit.
I was already on Mastodon so am familiar with the fediverse, but setting up a kbin instance was a learning curve and a half!
Took me a while to work out how to find and subscribe to magazines on other instances, but shortly after I did I realised that you can subscribe to Lemmy communities in the same way. No more worrying about which app is busier, as it just doesnt matter too much. Just use what you prefer, its the fediverse way.
I'm eagerly awaiting the Android app 👍
