Yeah in the Philippines it's not a common combo even though we have a lot of sweet + savory, pb is mostly just for sweet stuff because of the American influence. Whenever I tell people about it they think it's weird.
Kbin is different code, and Lemmy is different code. Whatever instance you're on, if you made an account with a Lemmy-based instance then you login to Lemmy and thus use a Lemmy oriented app. Same for Kbin. If you use an instance that's using Kbin code (I know there are others but I'm only aware of kbin.social right now) then you login to it using a Kbin oriented app.
As for the content, it's all federated and if it works properly then you should be able to see Lemmy and Kbin content regardless of what app you're using, with the exception of content from defederated instances (regardless of whether they use Lemmy or Kbin). The sharing of content happens using ActivityPub which, while external of both Lemmy and KBin, are used by both (and many others like Mastodon) for the federation thing to actually take place.
In practice you wouldn't have to worry about it, except for choosing what app to use and whenever you're searching for communities on other instances (which on kbin search is something like "community_name@instance.name"). That's how I understand it at least.
Most people aren't even thinking of moving to reddit alternatives. Users have a lot of power in this situation. Just move your community to Lemmy or Kbin. It's not that hard.
I speak as someone who has been able to somewhat manage my own issues with depression.
One immediate thing you can do is to cut out major sources of sugar from your diet. Give it 3 days (I notice the effects with less than 2 days) at least. Mental health and physical health are interconnected, so one bad thing affecting your metabolism is for sure going to have an effect on your brain (your brain's metabolism and ability to regulate energy too).
Get enough sleep and exercise, as well as meditation. For meditation you can start with short sessions and make sure to keep in mind that there is no "failing to focus/meditate" as it's all part of the journey/process.
As others have said, sunlight.
Socialization. I personally don't get enough time out of the house but I notice the effects immediately when I do.
The next two tips are from the book "Feeling Good" by Dr. David Burns. I haven't finished the book yet but have made use of what I've read, and some that have helped me the most are:
The "Self-Approval Method" - everyday, count the number of things you did or anything about yourself that you approve of or are proud of. Hopefully as you get more used to it that number will rise over time.
The "Triple-Column Technique" - on the first column you will write down your automatic thoughts (the negative, self-defeating thoughts that seem to come naturally to people with depression); on the second column you will list down the cognitive distortions you can identify from the first column (look up a list of cognitive distortions, there are about 10 of them); and on the third column write down your rebuttal to the automatic thought but make sure it is realistic and not wishful thinking.
That's all I can say, and I hope you get better! All the best!
I find the "invader" thing to be cool considering how other Sith have names are taken from evil concepts. Sidious = insidious (very fitting for Palpatine's character too). And the fact that Anakin did invade the Jedi temple with his clones.
I guess I'll start. I've identified as an atheist since 2015, having come from a deeply religious family (evangelical) from the Philippines. One of the main contributors to my switch was doctrines and their inconsistencies and incompatibilities (Arminianism vs Calvinism for example)....
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....
This article was written around 6 months ago and it seems prescient to reflect on our future OS options/habits as we are currently sorting out our online community clusterfuck/fuck you Spez. I feel like many of us have felt the motivation to branch out into a flavor of Linux OS and have read about the brave who took the step...
I love Linux and have stubbornly tried in the past to exclusively use it, but some people really just need software (in my case Affinity Serif apps or Adobe) to work regardless of OS.
What are your "weirdest" pizza toppings or other weird food combos?
One I've tried is cucumber with tomato sauce. It didn't taste so bad.

I don't understand why people still want to use reddit instead of moving to Lemmy or Kbin

Curious, if you were/are a Reddit user, will you be leaving the platform for good or have you already? CEO has called unpaid moderators' concerns "noise", that will be "passing soon."

Looking for a magazine for audio fiction creators to network and work together
I believe reddit had something like that. I know there is already audiodrama and podcast magazines (or are we colloquially calling them "kbins"?)
