Look into Hellen Keller and how she learned. I'm not 100 percent brushed up on it but I do know it involved touch and feeling. The teacher would trace letters onto her hands and also use temperatures and textures to convey meaning to her.
This whole system is a lot newer than most services you've used on the Internet. It's under constant change. Expect it to look different next week, month, or year.
Join a kbin instance and also join a Lemmy instance. Neither one is very stable yet (kbin has only been out a couple months) so I suggest using kbin until it starts having issues then switching to Lemmy for a while.
For kbin users, have a play in the settings area - the cog in the hamburger menu top left. You can customise it to look a bit like old.reddit, or Rif, or Sync by turning settings on and off. (previews, thumbnails, top bar etc.)
Kbin and lemmy are both what's known as "aggregators" for the fediverse. Basically what that means is that they each get their content from the same place (the fediverse) and can interact by talking with each other to update posts, comments, etc, but apart from that they have no connection. Lemmy is written by one person, kbin is written by another person, but since they both follow the ActivityPub protocol, they can federate.
As for hosting, each aggregator has its own "instances" which are their own unique site/clone of the aggregator. Anyone can host an instance, and people who sign up for accounts on each instance remain on that instance alone, but are able to interact with content on other instances because they all connect to the wider fediverse. Lemmy and kbin both have "default" instances, which are just instances that happen to be hosted by the creator of the respective aggregator.
So basically, the difference is that they are two entirely different applications that are simply capable of talking to each other.
In the mastodon/Calckey world you can migrate your account on one instance to a new account on a new instance and all the people following you will transfer and automatically follow your new account. So you don't have to be all "Hey moving to [xyz new instance] follow me there!"
That's something that's in the works for kbin and Lemmy some day
I've been seeing a lot of angst and emotion on the Reddit migration, which results in either defeatism or blind optimism. In the end, it probably doesn't matter, but I wanted to do more fact-based research into the subject....
For example if someone creates something new that is horrible for humans, how will AI understand that it is bad if it doesn't have other horrible things to relate it with?
AI currently doesn't "understand" or "know" anything. It's trained on a collection of text, and then predicts and extends the text prompt you give it. It's very good at doing this. If someone "creates something new" the trained AI will have no concept of it, unless you train a new ai model that includes text about that thing.
My name is Spez. The people of Reddit say that they want apps that are accessible and work better than the app that I bought out and then destroyed with my own hard-earned corporate money. However, I want more money than I know what to do with and would definitely be a leader in an apocalypse. I don’t know why people are...

How can we communicate with a blind and a deaf person?
Someone posted how can we communicate with a blind person as a joke but got me thinking how is it done with both blind and also a deaf.
What is a useful tip a new lemmy/kbin users should know?
I'm sure many new users are curious.
