New to kbin and trying to find my place in this federated world! Like many I've come over from reddit! I game on #Xbox and mainly play #TheDivision2 right now. Anyone else out there doing the same?
AT protocol was obviously not ready for a #RedditMigration, it’s not even ready for federation, and is years behind #ActivityPub.
Bluesky might be okay if you just want pre-Elon Twitter and to watch the old Twitter royalty do their thing. But it is not equipped to handle a variable use cases that can only happen through federation.
I really think #Kbin and #Pixelfed will and should work really well together.
For the memes. and I mean that!
Imagine following a meme subreddit -- directly! -- from your Instagram account, or an Instagram meme page -- directly! -- from Reddit, and not by a reposter account.
Now with the Fediverse (and the #Threadiverse), this is reality.
Long live the Fediverse, and long live the Threadiverse!
Created a kbin account, just 'cuz it was on my mind.
Must say the on-boarding process is smoother and seems like the better experience so far, compared to Lemmy.
Not sure how federated #kbin is at this point - I see mentions of de-federation between certain sites to manage the big influx of new users and content. I mentioned my masto account, but I'm not seeing any pings about that here, so maybe it's not that federated with masto?
Is your kbin account being followed by anyone on Mastodon? If you have a mastodon account, try following your kbin account from that one and try again.
#Lemmy now has 135,369 accounts. That is tracking with my expectations.
But while #Kbin had ~7,000 accounts yesterday, it’s just shot up to 30,930 accounts today.
While Lemmy is the 5th most used server software on the Fediverse, Kbin is now in 10th place and it’s growing at a faster rate than Lemmy.
A few days ago, I predicted that the #RedditMigration would result in 150,000-300,000 new accounts being created on the Fediverse. That expectation has already been met.
This #RedditMigration is fundamentally changing the course of the Fediverse. It’s moved the Fediverse from being primarily about microblogging to having more eclectic use cases.
While the #TwitterMigration validated that decentralized social media can appeal to millions of people, the #RedditMigration has validated that decentralized social media has man varied applications – both in the software and use case sense.
Edit: I've been schooled in the comments, this is no longer a thing, they've relented and allowed more control over the censor list. But hey, it's kinda funny still, so, feel free to keep reading if you like......
But, imo, "fork it yourself" does not invalidate any argument. Thats just going to result in Lemmy, and Lenny, and Lambchop, and Lemmiwinks, and lord knows what else...
as long as you don't change the principal of the federation system it will remain the same, even kbin and mastodon are reachable from here and can put content here, you can change some things like link a own CSS to have a different GUI or make some other things with it.
They would only need to update the code if its a change regarding the federation (votes, posts etc)
The whole idea of this federation business seems to be about freedom of choice and getting away from "them" telling "us" what we can and can't do with our time, our content, our data. And basically my first experience with this platform was seeing the primary dev shutting down multiple issue tickets full of perfectly reasonable arguments because... I dunno, "Nazis are bad and I'm smarter than you, mmmkay", I guess?
As said the handling was bad, but since then it seems to have changed and since the code is open source its 100% possible to fork it and work on it with a new dev team, if its better than the current one its gonna be used by more instances as well.
The altitude seems to have changed a lot since then as well.
If you want to see or interact with Kbin using Jerboa, you should be able to do that via your lemmy.world account as long as you have the same subscriptions set up in both instances.
2 #Question please:
Is there any difference between #kbin and #lemmy?
Also, was there not an alternative to #Reddit already? Boat? (or something like that)?
For a sub that’s supposed to promote Reddit alternatives, there sure is a lot of pessimism on there. I see so many people dismissing Lemmy and kbin already for being too inaccessible, the UI is clunky, it’s hard to pick up etc and saying these sites will never take off. But why? Of course a platform in its infancy will have...
Discoverability is always a problem when in a period of new instances spinning up. There are some solvable issues around community discovery once federation had been established, but scaling up periods are just janky due to the lack of a central source of truth.
Things will get go much smoother once it's clear that we're not just all going to go back to Reddit. Periods of organic growth are really nice.
Not just Lemmy, since that's the cool thing federation allows. This is a Lemmy instance and you're posting from Lemmy, but I'm reading and posting from kbin. Even in its early stages, we've got two big different alternatives that share the same content, which is dope.
@BentiGorlich@stux@supernovae Permissions are fine but there are a couple of problems. One is that many remote images have /media/cache/restore in the URL but there is no ‘restore’ subfolder in the file system. Also kbin has been dumping lots of the media subfolders ( for example /01/ab) at the same level as the /cache subfolder

How does the Mastodon integration work?
Apologies if this has been covered. With the search function broken, I can't find out....
One single hard-coded uneditable slur words list... really?!

It was confusing at first (lemmy.world)
What’s with the cynicism towards Lemmy on r/RedditAlternatives and Reddit in general?

Almost 5K Pirates migrated to lemmy. We're now 4th in lemmy communities browser! (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
Incredible growth. just goes to show how little we needed to be in Reddit....
