Signs of the #RedditMigration in action: Three of the top 6 fastest growing #Fediverse servers are not only not Mastodon.social but they are not even microblogging servers - but rather are #Threadiverse servers.
That is only seriously good for the entire Fedi infrastructure. Diversity is strength.
@tchambers the issue we are facing is the creation of a small number of servers supporting a vast number of users. Counter productive with the concept of the #fediverse. We need to encourage new people to not swarm.
@tchambers@fediversereport@fediversenews@fediverseobserver Can we please stop fixating on new users and talk more about active users, with some definition of active? Or posts/content? As long as you put a form on the Internet, you'll get spam signups that don't do anything.
@astrojuanlu@tchambers@fediverseobserver@fediversereport We'll look at "users active in the last month" two months from now, but the only easy way to follow the reddit migration in the moment it's happening is really to look at the new accounts rate before and after the Reddit event.
Spam account registration rate shouldn't have been much affected by the reddit news.
@Zach777@m_artigiani@fediversereport@fediverseobserver That works? I thought that's how you'd do it but I didn't know it worked, partially because the formatting is a bit different (don't they expect a title and a body?)
@Zach777@blake forgive my ignorance as I was never on reddit (but now I'm confused). Is the difference in the type of service that on these kbin and lemmy, the conversations are subject based and generate a long thread? Whereas on Mastodon it's more a timeline of unrelated messages? Thank you
@gpollara@Zach777 That sounds right to me. Each post to a community has a title and either some text or a "link" (the link could be an image, too). Comments can be made to those posts, which don't show up in most other places (on those sites).
@gpollara On reddit/kbin threads all the submissions are separate per topic (subreddit on reddit, or magazine here on kbin). Inside of those subreddits/magazines people post relevant content to the topic, like a singular topic/question/thing they wanna share. people then respond to it. Imagine you have a single hashtag for a top-level toot/tweet and you post a singular topic/idea/question related to that. people then can see it in that topic and response.
With mastodon it's as you said, where things are based more on the individual (you follow someone and see their stuff or you don't, and everything's separate). Basically: lemmy/kbin stuff is categorized by topic, mastodon stuff is categorized by person.
@m_artigiani hello from the threadiverse :) on kbin we have content split up into two categories "threads" and "microblogs". This is under our RedditMigration magazine in the microblogs section. Y'all on mastodon should be able to follow us and engage as normal and even appear in our "threads" section at times (depending on the context of the posts).
@clacke yeah, they used the hashtag #RedditMigration, which is the @RedditMigration magazine has listed as one of the tags to "pull in". here on kbin everything is organized based on magazines which are our "subreddits" and they have a threads section (works like reddit) and a "microblogs" section which has an assortment of mastodon posts (and posts from kbin users as well in this section). the magazine moderators can choose which hashtags to have added to there.
I don't know if a post can be sent to multiple magazines, but when I browse the general "all" section for microblogs, all of the top-level mastodon posts all have a category. most of them end up in @random which is essentially for unsorted/uncategorized posts. but some will just have some particular one. I've added a screenshot to show what this looks like. you can see it just lists the magazine name with it.
@Otome@kbin.social
I can confirm that posts aren't sent to multiple magazines (yet) and it seems like kbin scans to sort only to the first # or @. And if you post to one magazine with tags meant to be picked up by another that other magazine still won't pick it up. @fediversereport@fediversenews@fediverseobserver@tchambers@m_artigiani@clacke
@Otome@kbin.social
Ok the answer from my end: no joy
My Malaysian mutuals and I worked out a fedi-specific tag and I tested it on a regional SEAsian mag just set up @magASEAN and my own personal one for my website @myMOAC (which i just set up today).
Idk what's the order of primacy, i think it's just by luck of what gets scanned and sorted into - the younger magazine captured it in the microblog but not the regional one. It's definitely a bug or current limitation. If i can opt to boost to a magazine instead of my own stream that might an acceptable compromise. @fediversereport@fediversenews@fediverseobserver@tchambers@m_artigiani@clacke
@cendawanita Interesting. for clarification over here on kbin when we make a microblog post we have to choose which magazine to put it in explicitly. it's just the mastodon ones that get auto-sorted.
