Reddit went through some issues for many on Monday, with the outage happening the same day as thousands of subreddits going dark to protest the site’s new API pricing terms....
@ChargingDoorman sorry my comment was with a heavy dose of /s. Given they valued the Apollo traffic at ~20MM my tongue in cheek was saying to keep using the 3rd party apps cos it’s “costing” them so much money.
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...
Your login is tied to this instance, so if kbin.social goes the way of the dodo all your posts etc will be deleted alongside it, as well as all the magazines that are hosted on kbin.social.
However, kbin.social being turned off will have no impact on e.g. lemmy.world, so all the communities on lemmy.world will still exist.
For me personally I've got separate lemmy.world and kbin.social accounts, even though you can see communities and posts from lemmy.world (and other instances) on kbin.social and vice versa. I'll probably end up having similar follows on both accounts.
Unlike Mastodon there's no way to migrate accounts (yet!) but the site is still in early dev - lots of people have been talking about it so I'm sure it's something that'll be looked at in the future.
As a shower thought, it'd be nice if there was an app or client that lets you log in to as many instances across Lemmy/Kbin/Others as you want so if you received a notification from e.g. Kbin you could reply using your Kbin profile. May be swinging dangerously close to centralisation for some people though.
When I visit kbin.social, I see new posts regularly. On other servers posts stay on the frontpage for multiple days. This is also true if I switch their sorting to "hot". So that is probably not the difference....

Desperate for a new (good) SW RPG and looks like this might scratch that itch.. So cautious optimism from me, but will wait for more footage - who's taking bets on how much of this showcase will be in the final release?

I say yes, they're a great series to play through at least once though unfortunately may be a bit tough to find (2 is Xbox only and I think 3 was removed from Steam?). Fable Anniversary is still around and kicking though and can give you a taste, though the gameplay is very different to the sequels. Not sure if they're still on Xbox Game Pass, that was how I played through them the last time.
The vibe of the trailer was pretty faithful to the vibe of the original games in my opinion, so you can let that decide if it's something you'll be into or not.
As @exohuman said though all 3 games had lofty promises from Peter Moleneyux which didn't even come close to eventuating. I didn't follow any of that hype and went into them blind and had such a great time, was my gateway into RPGs and gaming so the series as a whole probably sits in my top 10 settings and RPG list (though I may be a bit biased!).
I'd be more inclined to buy this kind of statue than another generic 'hero pose' one. Shame that it's been pulled, would've picked it up, hopefully it (or a variation) comes back at some stage.

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

Looking for OneNote Alternative
Hey everyone,...
How many accounts do you have on lemmy/kbin?
First time posting, but i was wondering if i was the only one who had more than 2 accounts in total on here
Why does the frontpage of kbin.social work so much better than any other server?
