So have been testing over the past few weeks and made accounts on: a) Hubzilla b) Friendica c) Mastodon d) Kbin e) Lemmy f) Iceshrimp g) Bonfire h) Peertube i) Funkwhale j) Pixelfed
I’m only interested in moving my friends away from Facebook, and have the same fun we used to have as a group, for now nothing seem to match FB functionality unfortunately…
Have your own profile
Public and Private Groups
1 to 1 chats
And of course no one would consider joining a platform without a ( feature complete ) mobile app, Firefish is amazing but it has no mobile clients that look as a good as the website, and people say Friendica is the ethical Facebook, but it’s ugly…😅 i don’t know what to recommend ?
as you could argue any site with a comment section is social media.
I disagree with that. If the main purpose of your site is not interaction, so it cannot be a social media. Lemmy, Reddit, Kbin and other platforms like that has the main purpose share of knowledge and interaction between peers
For example, I may have a blog and this blog has a comment section in my posts. However, despite people can interact with each other in the comment section, the main purpose of my blog is post my own content. The interaction between people is secondary and consequence.
But in Lemmy the main purpose is interact. If not enough people participate, Lemmy dies. There is no other reason to use Lemmy other than interact with people.
Indeed. I've heard that from others as well.
I, personally, do not intend to delete my account (yet), but I am aware that it is a manual process. As so much is here, it seems.
I recently made some adjustments to my stuff here and it's helped a little. (You'll see the irony momentarily.)
I've unsubscribed from most kbin magazines and have subscribed to magazines (communities) from other Fediverse instances instead. Now my feed actually has content and a lack of SPAM. So, essentially, I'm here in name only.
Eventually, all of us normal users will need to ditch this platform because we won't our names/accounts tied to something that is notorious for SPAM and other illegal activities. Perhaps sooner than later, if the rest of the Fediverse decides to stop federating with kbin.
Until then, I figure at least I can still look through the window at the rest of the Fediverse.
There's a really cool one I used to love called The 13th Floor that used to be active and then one week the mod and his friends disappeared.
After the mod was gone for a month I took over moderation to protect it from spam or deletion, but I have other projects so can't really do it justice. I would love it if it got a new lease on life.
As a little background, I didn’t actively use Reddit for months following the blackout. I still barely stop in over there and if I do I’m never logged in our contributing to the communities there (where I was previously a daily poster/commenter)....
I think a lot of people on lemmy use lemmy/kbin/the threadiverse interchangeably. But yeah, I use kbin, too.
I definitely find myself being much, much more active on Discord since the whole reddit thing went down. It has its issues, and it's not exactly a 1:1 substitution for thread-based forums, but I enjoy the greater sense of community that comes with Discord.
Yeah I would agree that for casual conversation Discord overtook for me. I was lurking r/warframe and after losing pc capable running game started gacha and discussed on r/Arknights. So with api fiasco I left Reddit and tried Mastodon... have account and check it out but there is no activity on #arknights , joined discord server for R/Arknights that was made during blackout and still going strong. Like I got better of R/Arknights and not on Reddit. People some use Reddit, some silently, some like me abandoned and even people who never used Reddit joined. Moderating m/Arknights on Kbin but with Kbin dev having unlucky strike and generally hopping he have health to both have normalcy and work on Kbin. So without proper mod tools and some broken features (like webp not displaying, where microblogs from Misskey converts to webp to consolidate space) and some other little wants that I would propose if I knew there would be implemented.
Using Misskey.io before it closed registration to Japanese only (happens when everyone was leaving twitter for Musk dumb thing he implemented). With Misskey at least found artists and players for Arknights but as it is Japanese instance, they only thing I can do is share art so #arknights tag weren't dead on Mastodon.social .
So TL DR left Reddit, joined sub Reddit discord server which is where I spend most of my leisure time, using Mastodon for news, Kbin for moderation (but no one visits, at least no spam as I clean up) and news , Misskey for fan art.
I checked your bio and instantly found the existence of pkm.social. How is Mastodon going for you, anyways? I double checked on my Kbin instance and the Mastodon posts (toots?) you made to @obsidianmd just plain don't appear to me unless I am on your profile. I have been considering Mastodon but I was never a Twitter user so I never made the conversion. And how is pkm.social? I like personal knowledge management, and I'm wondering if the Mastodon community for it is more active than the Threadiverse or whatever we call Lemmy and Kbin.
Would you be interested in trying to grow any of these? None of the moderators seem to be active.
I might prefer to avoid ml for political reasons, though. Are you able to get the kbin posts to federate to your instance? I subscribed to it, but don’t see any posts on my instance yet.
Another option would be to create a new community, perhaps with a more general name like c/autonomousvehicles or c/autos. Thoughts?
Yes. Stack Overflow isn't magic. I think they succeeded because they focused heavily on SEO, which brought both ask-ers and answer-ers to the site.
Personally, the "accepted answer" is the killer feature. Dunno if NodeBB, Kbin, or others already support this.
There's potential in SO's gamification aspects, too. I'd love to let third-party sites to award badges or "endorsements" and display them on my profile page. This could work in all kinds of trust/credibility situations.
Yeah, I realized some of my "hey look they moved to RoyalRoad!" announcements probably should have gone in the External Links thread after checking the rules a bit ago. Sorry about that. Something something Kbin not handling posts that weren't originally federated to it well (I know of Lemmy's "paste the URL to force-fetch the post" solution, don't think it works on Kbin right now. But perhaps they updated Kbin and it does…). At the time I made some of those posts I think I literally could not post on the External Links thread without using a Lemmy account instead of my Kbin one, so I just made a separate post. But I could be misremembering the timeline on this and just have violated the rules when it was possible to follow them and still post on External Links. Won't happen again.
Can I just have a plain "yes" or "no" on reposting deleted content from authors who also deleted their account?
@mike In this case, I'm writing to you from Friendica. There have been groups here since 201x.
Groups are used for thematic exchange but not for grouping pure broadcasters.
Posts are shared within the group members. And groups are not displayed as normal accounts. This will be no different with Lemmy, Kbin and other platforms that use group functions.
I know that such a file has to exist because emojos.in works correctly for void.rehab but I don't know enough #Rust to figure out where they're getting the path out of the server instance.
This noob is testing the interconnectivity of the #Fediverse:
The word out there on the Fediverse make it seem as if all the different tools (Mastdn/P-tube/Lemmy/etc.) can interact with one another. But this is not the case, as some work both ways, whilst others only one way, or at all.
@winter i can't see the poll for some reason but using this kbin account which for some reason hasn't been deleted yet i see winter @ translunar.academy
Not sure about apps since I don't use any, but on the website versions of both Lemmy and Kbin instances, there is a link either on the sidebar or at the bottom of the page that says Modlog. It defaults to showing you a global list from all federated instances of all the most recent moderator actions. On Lemmy instances the moderator's names are hidden but on Kbin instances it will always show you Moderator > action taken.
(edit: on Lemmy instances only): There's also a useful search feature at the top which lets you look almost anything up.
No matter, how you connect to the Fediverse, be if, for example, Misskey, Sharkey, Ice Shrimp, Mastodon, PeerTube, Pixelfed, Kbin, or by other means, the Fediverse instance you're using cost money. In the real world, web hosting, bandwidth, and storage space cost, money. And the more members who use and join your Fediverse instance (server), the more resources and the most it cost.
I earned by badge, by reaching out to my administrator, and helping them by donating. And while if it was not required to make a donation or regular contribution, I like using the Fediverse. It is ad-free and decentralized, meaning, someone like Elon Musk, cannot change things for everyone, everywhere, solely on their latest mood swing. So I made the choice to help fund my corner of the collective social media network, known as the Fediverse.

Suggestions?
Do you consider Lemmy/Reddit (and similar platforms) to be social media?
I had this discussion with a friend, and we really couldn’t reach a consensus....
Kbin /m/fediverse is over 90% spam
Looking at the front page of this forum and many others, leads me to conclude that kbin has a ridiculous spam problem....
What some Lemmy communities that are dead or very low number of new posts that you would like to get more active?
My pick is /c/albumartporn
If Reddit had a soul/conscience, I think it was us, and we're all on Lemmy now...
As a little background, I didn’t actively use Reddit for months following the blackout. I still barely stop in over there and if I do I’m never logged in our contributing to the communities there (where I was previously a daily poster/commenter)....
Dear Daily Notes Users: What do you put in there? (kbin.melroy.org)
Honestly curious, as someone who keeps hearing a lot about "my daily notes" but who personally doesn't use them....

Hey folks!...
HFY - Humanity Fuck Yeah! (Information about the community and rules)
Welcome to HFY!!!...
Moved
Due to the issues surrounding Kbin, I've moved to the Lemmy site for TTRPGs. New [ home is] (https://ttrpg.network/c/fantasygroundsvtt).
In the mod logs I see posts/comments removed for violating rules. Is there anywhere someone can find these rules?
Is there a list somewhere? Are the rules different per instance?? I see:...
