I'm quite concerned by the huge increase of seemingly bots on some Lemmy instances. Dvmsocial and beehaw defederated from some. What about bin? How to protect ourselves from the bot swarm that's coming?...
I really fear that they all awake at the same time and flood / attack our instances.. This seems to be a temporary solution but time consuming for you. Beehaw defederated too from a list of instances. Maybe this list could help you :
based on the list of instances made by @sunaurus here - Thank you again for that work, it’s highly appreciated.
This is a preventive measure against massive amounts of accounts being created for botting purposes. Most instances banned appear to be 1 user instances so we don’t think this will have a great effect on anyone’s usage of Beehaw. If you are an admin of one of those instances, feel free to contact us at support@beehaw.org
An emergency position-indicating radiobeacon (EPIRB) is a type of emergency locator beacon for commercial and recreational boats, a portable, battery-powered radio transmitter used in emergencies to locate boaters in distress and in need of immediate rescue.
I assume someone's deleting critical news articles there, or having bot armies downvote them. On Kbin and Lemmy and Squabbles, even on Google News, I see Reddit's woes front and center.
This is what I did after the disastrous AMA.
Deleted my history with reddact.
Uninstalled Reddit.
Uninstalled Apollo (crying).
I won't go on this platform anymore.
Although I'm missing some 'niche' communities such as antkeeping or those about specific incremental games..
Now I'm trying to filter all the communities that are on this topic.
Even if it's on the fediverse, speaking about Reddit gives them more visibility.
Coming from a third party reddit app, my front page did a good job populating itself with posts from less busy subreddits even though there were proportionally WAAAY more dead posts from /r/pics than from a smaller subreddit. Kbin seems to be showing waay more posts from RedditMigration and priacy right now because of how busy...
Subscribe to magazines that you want to follow. In setting, change your homepage to 'subscribed' (or whatever it is named). Then only scroll your subscribed communities.
Or
next to the subscribe button, there is another button to block a magazine.
Personally I do both. I went on the magazine page, I subscribed to many small communities even if I'm not really interested in. And I block the big ones that are flooding the 'all' homepage (=reddit =redditmigration ....)
Good morning! :) Today I want to focus mainly on reviewing the pull requests you've submitted. There are many great things there that will help improve the kbin experience. That's amazing, thank you! I'm also in the final stages of sorting out the infrastructure-related formalities. Soon, the situation with the website's...
Did you compute the global monthly cost of Kbin? You'll have to maintain revenues on a regular basis. I don't think that the oneshot 'Buy me a coffee' is the best option for this. Did you consider Patreon or an alternative?
As an old Redditor, I hated reposts or crossposts. This is not creating contents, it’s just flooding a sub/magazine with the same thing. Karma farming was a dumb thing that screwed content diversity.
If you are using iOS there’s a good way to create something that looks like an app:
From kbin homepage on safari browser, click ´share ´ and ´add to desktop ‘ or homepage (I don’t remember the name in English). It will add a shortcut that use safari but is considered by iOS as an indépendant app.
I created this magazine to replace something I miss since the Rexxit. Seeing or talking about ants ! I started this hobby with my son and am fond of it.
I was initially introduced to Mastodon a few years ago by a close friend and picked up on it quickly given the benefits of not having to deal with advertising, or being shown what a mega-corporation thought I should have to see through algorithms. I have since found a great instance over on cupoftea.social that promotes quality...
I'm also a Reddit refugee. I discovered the fediverse thanx to other Redditors. I tried my luck on Mastodon but didn't like the UX. Then Tildes but couldn't find an invite. Then kept searching and discovered bin which is great
I was afraid of the crocodile in my attic. I was afraid it might come down from the stairs so when I was always running in the stairs. Now I'm 30 and I am still really good at rushing down stair three steps by 3 steps

The hard part of recreating the Reddit experience while kbin gets off the ground is that there’s very little stuff to repost.

Are there any scripts to wipe my reddit comments/posts?
I know you can delete your reddit account, but it mentions that it just deletes your association with them and not the actual content....
Any good mobile apps to access kbin?
Obviously this migration is all about 3rd party apps. Do any even exist yet for kbin?

Ant keeping is invading the Fediverse!

OC How did you end up finding kbin? Did you migrate here from Reddit?
