The site and the official app are so inaccessible that a sighted person had to flip the switch to make r/blind go dark.

The site and the official app are so inaccessible that a sighted person had to flip the switch to make r/blind go dark.
Obviously this migration is all about 3rd party apps. Do any even exist yet for kbin?
On Monday we wrote about the changes that Reddit was making to their API pricing, causing some services to shut down, and leading thousands of subreddits to choose to blackout (some temporarily, so…
Reddit CEO Steve Huffman on Monday told Reddit employees that he is unconcerned about current protests over the company's sudden API changes. In...
The branding for kbin is perfect for capturing the reddit migrators. The biggest friction point for the Fediverse is choosing an instance. If I want to join Lemmy, googling Lemmy takes me to a landing page with no join button, telling me to go to these other sites. Some of these sites even actively discourage signups, creating...
Digg was my favorite website of all time, what people today can't experience is just how good the community was. I think that was due to the reputation system they used. A sufficiently advanced reputation system would fix a lot of problems with social media, with less censorship....
Is there any question?
I just tried to look something up and the top result was a reddit thread and here I am making a post on kbin....
I know there are other ways, but this looks pretty easy. Any clear advice to avoid, or other concerns that folks know about?
I have been joking to a couple of friends today who were also redditors that I've been feeling withdrawals from reddit throughout the day. Like I knew I was addicted, I just never thought I was going to have to face the consequences of withdrawals!...
Hello all, I have created a leatherwork magazine. Please feel free to join and let's all enjoy this new community....
Tbh, this has been on my mind for the past two days, so I hope you guys don't mind if I unload it here. I tend to obsess and I figure if no one cares, then at least I can get it out of my head instead of thinking about it all the time. Also sorry for the length, I promise I have a doctor's note....
Thought I would spin up a Discord server since I've seen a few mentions of it across various magazines. We can let it run/grow/die organically....
I got accounts on both lemmy.world and kbin.social, but I am leaning more towards the Lemmy UI....
Another great kbin magazine focused on the #RedditBlackout & protest....
I think the biggest thing we need to figure out is how to make it sound easier than people say it is. People get too hung up on the technicalities of how the fediverse works, and they never try it out and see that it isn't as confusing as it sounds. If we could write up a simple blurb to help promote kbin to subreddit moderators...

Reddit went through some issues for many on Monday, with the outage happening the same day as thousands of subreddits going dark to protest the site’s new API pricing terms....
long time listener first time caller. been on reddit 15+, but the end is nigh. I have never used 3rd party apps.. always found the old, mostly-text layout completely sufficient for mobile browser use....
Just discovered this recent talk on the Fediverse, and I think it is very instructive! Very cool to see where it's come from, and where it's going....
Am I the only one facing constant lagging when moving between different pages?
Good bye, the good place. It was a fun decade.r/videos/comments/1469c1m/todays_meeting_in_the_reddit_hq_bunker/
I'm feeling a real positive energy and community spirit as a result of the sudden fragmentation of reddit's foundational use base....
