Kbin Cafe is now on Mastodon! The majority of our updates will be posted from @barista, while this account will coexist with it for redundancy, primarily for the cases of slower federation and server migrations. Please boost and give us a follow! #kbin#lemmy#threadiverse#KbinCafe#RedditMigration
My #redditmigration has gone great! I am using the #kbin client, but also following a ton of threads (subreddits) on #lemmy. It works so much better than I expected and is already workable to replace Reddit. I think things will only get better as the #threadiverse grows and more esoteric/niche areas get populated.
Reddit was my last corporate social media holdout, and I am glad the company inspired me to finally jump ship with bad corpo behavior!
what if I made a github page with a big plaintext list of #threadiverse communities
we could call it something like the threadi directory and any communities that want to be listed can open a pull request to add their handle
from there I could rig up a simple category and search system and it could act as a central place to search for magazines because it's really difficult to find them at the moment
I just signed up for #kbin! Really hoping the #threadiverse can gain enough activity to replace some of my favorite Reddit communities! Anyone have links to good #Osr or #ttrpg magazines on Kbin?
Are there any #threadiverse (#kbin / #lemmy) enthusiasts who would be interested in coming on a #podcast (my show specifically, https://shellsharks.com/podcast) to discuss topics including the following #fediverse, threadiverse, #redditmigration, #mastodon, etc...? Even better if you happen to be an instance or community admin and are looking to cultivate communities there. If so, please send me a message and let's chat!
Use the mobile client's search feature (memmy has this but your client may not) or your instances native search capability to find and subscribe to all the communities you've found from the step above. Note: you should have no issue subbing to Lemmy OR Kbin communities (/magazines)
Yes! You can sub to communities on other instances from your own. By doing so, you can build an aggregate feed of all your subbed communities and boom! The worry of fractured communities can be (partially imo) mitigated.
Scroll to your heart's content, comment on things, upvote, etc... It's VERY similar imo to my old Reddit browsing process. But with all the fun of exploring an entirely new space. I'm loving the novelty of it all and actually finding some great stuff that's out there!
Yes, there is still lots of work to be done with this software and there's no telling whether these communities will thrive into the future, but I for one am excited about the prospects and will be putting my time into it.
#Lemmy, #kbin#threadiverse users only. How active are you on the #threadiverse ? (In descending levels of activity, pick the most “active” you’ve done).
Feature request in @fedilab issue tracker to add support for the #threadiverse :fediverse:
"With Fedilab already supporting Friendica, Mastodon, Pleroma, Pixelfed, Peertube, and even GNU Social (with plans to support Calckey), adding Lemmy / Kbin would be a game changer for me and many others. Add Funkwhale and maybe WordPress and it's game over you never need to download any other apps."
A quick technical comparison between the two leading tools in the #Threadiverse:
#Kbin: requires several external dependencies not available in the default repositories, including one that isn't even in a distro package, just the tarball with the binaries
#Lemmy: an architecture so complex, that @yunohost decided to just decompress the #Docker image to package it LOL
I've spun up a general-purpose, fun, and hopefully useful and engaging Kbin instance. Kbin is an open source, federated content aggregation and microblogging platform, most similar to Reddit. Please check it out, register, give me your thoughts, and most important of all--feel free to make it your home on the threadiverse. Open to ideas for a logo! https://kbin.cafe/ #kbin#lemmy#redditMigration#threadiverse
A pic of me just browsing the @ArtemisApp magazine on Artemis.
We just coded up the last bits for the first limited release. Feeling like a real #kbin app! (#lemmy support planned for next month).
What we have in dev build:
Browse Home or the magazine of your choice
See images and open links (in app)
Login or browse anonymously
See comments (collapse threads at your will)
Vote and boost 🚀
Huge thanks to our first volounteer dev for helping w some of these! (What’s ur @ here lol?) We’re also getting an Android dev involve to help w giving as much love and care.
Open sourcing will come once we get the codebase in a good place. Kitchen gets a bit messy this early 👩🍳
