I've been waiting for this for years now. This is the first time the migration feels real. Let's milk this cow here as long as possible until it gets ruined by investors like they do it with anything fun.
I think the biggest thing we need to figure out is how to make it sound easier than people say it is. People get too hung up on the technicalities of how the fediverse works, and they never try it out and see that it isn't as confusing as it sounds. If we could write up a simple blurb to help promote kbin to subreddit moderators...
Aside from the decentralization those are points that could be made about early reddit as well. Demand will drive innovation and accessibility. Then kbin will turn profitable, investors come in and ernest either fucks off into retirement or becomes a rich asshole that antagonizes the userbase. Anyways, after years of corporate-run bullshittery users will at some point migrate to the next little community and the cycle continues.
I waited for a long time to find an opportunity to jump to something less corporaty. The whole voat thing was ridiculous and attracted mainly the absolutely worst crowd with whom I didn't want to associate. But now it feels great to be part of something new growing. I just root for the little man in the game for now.
I started up my reddit account for the sole purpose of suggesting to others to delete their account and migrate. Currently the traffic in the comments is very concentrated. I just go on r/all and comment under the top comment. Even if I'm not upvoted I have a huge reach that way.
Someone here already has 12 subs on his own. We would be inspired to avoid the era of the power mods. Moding should involve an interest, not just collecting rings of infinity like it's a gold rush. How can it be a good practice in the long term?...
I think supermods are a two sided medal. They can be very disruptive to a community but they are in a way a superhighway for content and a small but growing community with greater ambitions needs nothing more than content. Maybe some of the problems can be avoided with a good culture of communication between mods, admins and community but I think that's very hard to achieve for a content platform that also has to have to some degree keep an eye on rentability.
I nuked my Reddit accounts today. Deleted all comments and posts, then the accounts themselves. The tool I used showed each comment as it was deleted, and it was bittersweet....
It would be great to contribute tho. I tried to upload some stuff but most of it didn't go through. Hopefully kbin will soon be somewhat capable to deal with the traffic or many people will lose interest.
I gained the basic fitness for jogging by burning fat on a bike. I just reached my goal distance of 10 miles which I want to do at least twice per week. As you said, I'm still very slow but now that I manage the distance i can focus on getting faster.
I'd like to add that I personally think a mountainbike is a great starter. It's not the fastest bike you can get but the big tires are more forgiving with obstacles which is great especially for beginners. The slimmer your tire is the more attention you have to pay to the road. On a race bike you can't zone out during the ride.The downside is that you're lacking the capacity to carry a lot of weight comfortably so if you plan to do that go for a bike that's more focused on comfort.
@PacMan I had the same problem when I started riding. Eventually I lost enough weight that it's no longer relevant but my plan would've been to just put sand in the gap to increase friction between the parts.
Eine Frage an alle /c/DACH Mitglieder, die ich damals auch schon den mods von /r/de gestellt habe: Was will die Community sein? /r/de bestand schlussendlich zu 95% aus Nachrichten, wobei ich ein dediziertes Nachrichten-Sub immer als sinnvoller erachtet hätte. Ich denke, das hätte einen bunteren und interessanteren Inhalt mit...
As someone who has absolutely zero knowledge about servers and stuff I can tell you with certainty that the servers are overwhelmed and that's why uploading is throttled.
Yeah exactly but you're always starting with a bad offer but then you get going but you're only completing 80% of the planned work which then turns out fine because you planned with a 20% higher workload than is necessary for your schedule.
I've been trying to make people aware of Lemmy on discord and Mastodon, but it's always met with resistance citing "the devs are pro authoritarianism tankies." Kbin seems to be picking up steam because of the developer baggage....
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......

How can we smooth out the migration and help promote kbin/lemmy to subreddits and redditors?

Any good mobile apps to access kbin?
Obviously this migration is all about 3rd party apps. Do any even exist yet for kbin?
95% down <3 I love the coordination and hate all this situation at the same time...
Should we establish a maximum of subs per moderators?
Someone here already has 12 subs on his own. We would be inspired to avoid the era of the power mods. Moding should involve an interest, not just collecting rings of infinity like it's a gold rush. How can it be a good practice in the long term?...
I just deleted 12 years of content. Feels weird

I just got done exercising by choice for the first time since 2016.
I'm entering my late 30s, and my body isn't taking care of me because I have not taken care of it for most of its adult life....

What bike do you suggest that I get?
I'd like to get more into biking since the area that I live in is semi walkable. Where should I start and what should I look out for?
