I think trying to protest reddit's asshattery via the blackouts is one tactic, but it appears to be losing a lot of steam for many misinformed reasons. I’m betting there’s a lot of shilling as well....
The topic of conversation is general, friendly civil discussion. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. If you're unfamiliar with Matrix- the process of joining is fairly simple. Follow the prompts on the invite link below and create an account/join....
Another update and possibly a solution for some case where posts were not properly deleted. Seems I jumped the gun on this and the restores haven't been intentional - at least not in this particular case....
/kbin and lemmy might be not perfect yet, but I am glad that I am here and not on Reddit.
There's a lot of noise with this one. Among the noisiest we've seen. Please know that our teams are on it, and like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well. The most important things we can do right now are stay focused, adapt to challenges, and keep moving forward. We absolutely must ship what we said we would....
If you didn't know, on DuckDuckGo you can search for posts or magazines with site:kbin.social just like you would with Reddit. The same applies to any other Fediverse site like Kbin, Lemmy, Mastodon, etc.. I was really frustrated because it seems like Google was intentionally suppressing them....
1. Can you find/interact with a kbin magazine from a lemmy instance (i.e lemmy.ml)? If so, how?...
I've been a chronic lurker on many platforms for my entire life, but the amount I actually contribute on the internet is VERY little. I want to change that, so I thought I'd ask the experts of the internet. What does your engagement with the internet look like? On which platforms, and why? How do you find your communities...
Hey all, we just ticked over the 500 sub mark. It's been very encouraging reading your stories of how you've found this community, the wider fediverse and reading what you have to say! I am confident we can continue to grow and keep the same friendly vibe going forward....
The whole reddit situation has been quite the storm, certainly for people fed up and looking for an excuse to move on....
I saw a post talking about whether or not to defederate with Beehaw, and then I saw a comment talking about a decision that Beehaw made and something about them being liberal, but I'm ootl. Could someone explain the situation?
I'm aware this is probably because of SEO bs, but I can't google posts on the Fediverse. You can easily find posts/accounts on twitter or Reddit using Google, but not Mastodon, Kbin, Lemmy, etc. The only way to find ANYTHING about them is by going directly through the sites themselves, and typing in the entire domain like it's...
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...
I'm guessing it has something to do with mastodon, since microblogging is interoperable with mastodon like how threads are interoperable with lemmy....
So I notice that KBIN and BEEHAW and LEMMY all have duplicate pages dedicated to the same content. Are we as a community going to have to decide which page will be the 'main' page, will we have to subscribe to each magazine for each instance, or will they consolidate eventually?...
As an effect of the recent Reddit blackout, the company is now surrounded by disappointed investors and community. I predict that Reddit may end up facing the same fate as Tumblr: being sold to another company. Only time will tell what the future holds for Reddit, but one thing is for sure - the protest will leave a lasting...
I got accounts on both lemmy.world and kbin.social, but I am leaning more towards the Lemmy UI....
Hourly Mastodon bot that uses Fedidb data to show the total local users on all known Lemmy and Kbin servers
What are some kbin or Lemmy alternatives to common Reddit subs?...
In that sense they look a lot more like Reddit: They have a page listing their groups (“Communities” in Lemmy, “Magazines” in Kbin), each of the groups have index pages with list recent posts or highest-upvoted posts....
