Ripples Through Reddit as Advertisers Weather Moderators Strike (www.adweek.com)

Reddit is redirecting some impressions away from existing communities, and some advertisers are pausing campaigns.

It’s not just about the API Changes

At least for me, the API changes are just a final straw and something which mobilised enough redditors to make other platforms viable alternatives....

So what corners have redditors gathered to during the blackout?

Here (kbin), Lemmy, Tildes... I hear Mastodon had a user spike. Is there something obvious I'm missing?...

Interacting with Lemmy as a Kbin user

Can anyone direct me to a Stickie or FAQ with directions how to use Kbin? U/dannecrose put together some useful information on https://kilioa.org/m/kbinfaqs/t/725, but I have questions about interacting with other instances, in particular Lemmy. Is it possible to upvote/downvote, comment and create threads in the Lemmy instance...

When introducing members to kbin/lemmy don't mention the fediverse!

I introduced kbin to someone today who asked what the fediverse was. I answered for them of course, but it made me realize that the concept is still technobabble for most people. The average joe probably doesn't care or notice that server A is really talking to server B. Just have them find out on their own and if a mass...

OC Is there any existing way in kbin to filter by language?

I only speak English, and I virtually always only want to see English-language material, though ideally it'd be nice to still be able to follow links to articles in other languages....

OC Dear Leader

Why are the collapse and expand options missing when I view comments on a post?

It appears the option is there for microblog comments but not thread or post comments. Am I missing something? Eg. Comments and sub comments in the post won't have the option.
