Mintyytea,

oooh, so nice, thank you! I will use that. I didn't even know we can put that wild card *
I tested with " site:lemmy.* reddit "

The only thing is, I think not every lemmy instance is named that way. I think these are also lemmy servers - sh.itjust.works, vlemmy.net, lemm.ee

Mintyytea,

I guess my only concern left then is for the different aggregators, since I thought there wouldn't be any difference really between kbin and lemmy (or the others)

Mintyytea,

yes and even though it's suuuper unintuitive, the site is still very new, so we can keep it on our list of features to improve

Mintyytea,
  1. maybe the thumbnails will get better. kbin is very new still I think, so the site is more barebones atm probably compared to lemmy
  2. What do you mean by community? Like the magazine?
  3. I think microblogging is more like a Tweet, I think kbin is trying to integrate more with Mastodon which basically does tweets.

By the way if you want to add a Thread, which is reddit's "post", then I think you do it by Add a New Article. I was confused cuz there's no Add a new Thread, but I'm guessing you can do it with Add new link, photo, video, or article. Article means a text only thread I think.

Mintyytea,

To see more magazines/communities, I click Magazines and then that page has a search bar for magazines (I search for the names of my reddit subreddits) and a list of a lot of them.

I think on redditalternatives, there's also a migration directory to show the corresponding subreddit to community/magazine

Mintyytea,

Keep in mind though that kbin is actually newer than lemmy, (only a month old?) so it truly is more barebones than reddit. The developers are working hard though :) 2 days ago, becuase of the server load, I couldn't even stay logged in on kbin, it was that buggy, but a day later it was stable

Mintyytea,

Is there a way to save a post you like (like on reddit)?

Mintyytea,

nice :) im making a lemmy account on lemmy.studio and will wait until they approve my account to give it a try! Might use both kbin and lemmy for fun haha

Mintyytea,

Sometimes the site goes a little buggy. Sometimes i get 503 but i just wait, refresh, or i heard someone say too they have lemmy and kbin account and use the other when one is down xD I think it’s still adjusting to having so many users

Mintyytea,

Lol sometimes just being the one to bring others to the content is good though. I appreciate the content bringers on here, even if it’s just cross posting something else

Mintyytea,

I love avatar the last airbender too. I haven’t found a show like it since. Besides that, I still like anime (though less nowadays because of some sexist parts)

Mintyytea,

I’m glad. Amazon doesn’t let workers unionize even though their work conditions are bad. I always see these truck/van drivers running to their next stop

Mintyytea,

It could help too if maybe on the sign up page, if an instance is getting full, they suggest some instances that are less full to join. That way people can be guided without having to do research on their own (before they’ve even decided to commit to the fediverse)

Mintyytea,

I think number 1 is important so it’s easier to move. Otherwise we could feel centralized to one instance rather than feeling free to federate

The Reddit Blackout Is Breaking Reddit (www.wired.com)

“They’re shooting themselves in the foot,” Mir says. “The content of the users is what makes the platform worth visiting. These hosts kind of run into this confusion that their hosting is the reason people are going there, but it’s really for the other users on the medium.”

Mintyytea,

I think that is true that most people will not leave reddit. I’m in a subreddit called redditalternatives, and lately not many people are posting in it anymore. It definitely feels like a niche thing, but I think it’s okay. Reddit won’t last forever, and in the meantime, we can be seeing if fediverse is the way forward. This isn’t the first time reddit screwed up and it won’t be the last.

They’re also I think trying to become like tiktok and give lots of forever scrollable content, but I think tiktok/youtube shorts already fill that niche

Struggling to get into Lemmy

Posing this on a whim since I tend to be a lurker on Reddit, but I am really struggling to get into Lemmy. Part of it is that I'm used to lurking but now we all have to put a little more work into not lurking in order to start to get the content we want, but also I have yet to find the sort of shitposting content I guess I'm...

Mintyytea,

If you can, stay patient :) if you can’t bear how it’s empty, I say it’s totally fine to go back to reddit or use both!

For me I’m usually selecting Show the feed of all communities, since I’m realizing there’s new content across the fediverse maybe every 30min to an hr, rather than like on reddit tons every second.

I find every post being made has a lot of engagement and fun convo - especially about reddit migration - so at the moment I tune into everything.
Just now there was a new post from the Memes mag, and earlier I saw some from foodporn

Mintyytea, to nostupidquestions

How do I make a new “thread” for a magazine? (I’m on kbin atm)

Mintyytea,

@SoupOfTheDay
Thanks! I finally learned too I can do Create a New Article as well that's like an entry that's only gonna be text

Hello! I'm trying to figure out how to calibrate my feed to show only what I want to see.

So, I'm new to the Fediverse as it seems that Reddit is a sinking ship. I've been trying to figure out how to customize my feed so I only see content from the Magazines that I subscribe. Like how you can customize your feed on Reddit to only show posts from subreddits that you were in....

Mintyytea,

Glad you were able to find it :) I think one thing they could add for kbin is the ability to list like in a panel like reddit, the magazines you subscribed too so you can navigate to them more easily. Right now I have to search for the magazine I wanna go to each time.

Also at first I did the aame as you and selected to only show my subscribed for my feed, but later I realized since it’s still small, there’s not enough content yet, so now I just use the default All for my feed to get new stuff like every 30 min or so

Did this site live and die in 4 days?

This place has roughly 3,000 people and was intended to be an entire replacement for DaystromInstitute and StarTrek as they were going dark indefinitely. Well, within 4 days the moderators have walked back those statements and opened both subreddits up. I see no incentive for people to come to this website now and while a few...

Mintyytea,

Yeah for me I made the transition today feeling the same way as you. It sucks that just because mods try to go on strike, on behalf of everyone really, the users try to help reddit instead.

For me I’m making the change after being sure I won’t regret/miss too much the content on reddit. I might still go back sometimes for a google search (appending reddit), but for the most part, I’m not using it as a platform I browse.

Even if this fediverse stuff doesn’t pan out, I’m happy to tread these waters and see if it’ll be our future solution to avoiding these greed induced social media self destructions.

Today was the first day I just felt so sickened by how reddit just wouldn’t budge, no matter how disatisfied its users are. I just didn’t even feel good about using the site anymore, even if I love the content/lazy content there
