Based on observations of which subreddits are going dark/migrating and which ones are staying, IMO Reddit is about to swing hard toward conservative/fascist in the coming days/weeks.
Today I'm undertaking the effort of moving all my persistent post content relating to my projects from Reddit elsewhere. I think in the mid-term future Reddit will be as bad a name to be associated with as Voat or 8chan.
I have now released a significant new update for KUP that introduces a new experimental mobile UI and adds support for the coming release of the Kbin platform....
Hey everyone, super excited to be exploring the fediverse both here on kbin and elsewhere. Looking for a Mastodon client primarily for iOS, great to see the main app is open-source, but there seems to be quite a few options out there. Feel free to share non-iOS clients for others' benefit as well....
Given how quickly Beehaw reacted to external users, it's becoming more important for users to know "where" they are engaging with content, meaning "where the content was federate in from"....
Because they don't get listed by browse.feddit.de you'll want to browse https://kbin.social/magazines to browse "magazines", which is what they call communities...
EDIT: Sorry I did not make this clear. I am not presenting this as a techincal problem for admins to solve, but as a community problem. The kbin.social community as the larger instance is not seeking out communities from the smaller instances....
Think of it like Kbin is an app for Lemmy + Mastodon content. Their content is federating into here. I'm not seeing kbin.social content out on https://lemmy.world though
The biggest problem with kbin is honestly quite simple, but I don't people is talking about is the fact that finding the magazines that I'm subscribed to is in Settings > Subscribed, on Reddit, it's literally in the top bar, I don't get why it's buried in settings. Another thing is why is my home page full of posts from...
That exists. If you click the gear icon (scroll near the bottom on mobile, or top right section on desktop) you can toggle some settings. The top bar is what you want.
Love it here on this flagship server for #Kbin, but question: maybe we should find two other well-run, well-hosted servers to recommend to #Reddit users tomorrow and the next few days to avoid a crush of traffic on this one?...
Yeah based on @ernest referencing the newly spun up fedia.io , I suspect that's the right one to recommend. I don't know what kind of load balancing efforts are going on between them, but hopefully quite a bit.
Two missing features in kbin: Collapse comments and quick preview of images/videos
While using kbin, I realized that I keep going back to a Lemmy instance because it lacks two important features Lemmy (and Reddit) have:...

OC kbin Federation Awareness script (greasyfork.org)
Given how quickly Beehaw reacted to external users, it's becoming more important for users to know "where" they are engaging with content, meaning "where the content was federate in from"....
Entire mod teams of r/interestingasfuck, r/TIHI and r/mildlyinteresting KICKED out. Some even locked out of their accounts (old.reddit.com)
OC Thank you @ernest
YSK that kbin.social is now federating, adding hundreds of communities and ~26k more users content
Because they don't get listed by browse.feddit.de you'll want to browse https://kbin.social/magazines to browse "magazines", which is what they call communities...
Any good mobile apps to access kbin?
Obviously this migration is all about 3rd party apps. Do any even exist yet for kbin?
OC Kbin instances seem more isolated from each other than from Lemmy instances
EDIT: Sorry I did not make this clear. I am not presenting this as a techincal problem for admins to solve, but as a community problem. The kbin.social community as the larger instance is not seeking out communities from the smaller instances....
Federation status: ON
Seems like the federation was turned on not long ago. It's very exciting to be part of kbin's growth!

OC Tampermonkey script to support recursively collapsible comments (greasyfork.org)
Defaults all top-level comments to collapsed but you can copy out the script and change it right at the top to false to make it not do that.
Question: best #kbin server to recommend to users tomorrow?

OC So I guess this is an article?
And this is some text that goes along with it?
