tipping culture needs to die

I mean, they share the backend communities/magazines, so it shouldn't matter where a given one lives, but you can turn off showing federated content and you'll only see stuff on kbin.social. Won't see stuff on other kbin instances, though.

Click the little button with three connected nodes. In the desktop Kbin Web UI, it's in the right-hand sidebar. On mobile, it's near the bottom.

Beneath that, you'll see a "Federation status". Click "off".

Don't forget to turn it back on later, though.

You can also browse the list of magazines on kbin.social. Those will all be local.

You can also browse just content on one instance, like only communities on one Lemmy or kbin server, by using the /d/ prefix. So, to view stuff on fedia.io, which also runs kbin, you can do this:

https://kbin.social/d/fedia.io

Or you could just browse to fedia.io's Web UI:

https://fedia.io/

And then do the same "toggle off federated content" thing to see only content on fedia.io.

I don't think that there's a convenient way to see all content from all federated kbin servers but to exclude content on federated Lemmy servers, though.

Yes.

New rule I have adopted - going forward, any time I struggle to find good search results on something and find myself wanting to append "reddit" onto the query, I will instead be creating the thread on an applicable forum on a federated site. I recommend others do the same.

It may not give me the immediate answer I'm looking for, but with a bit of patience we can hopefully rebuild a library of knowledge in a more stable way, not vulnerable to the whims of corporate profit.

I’m fucking stoked to see so many people like me (who are pissed at how corporations fuck their own product just to make more money) migrate over here. For once I feel like I actually have a way to “protest” corporations and their greed. I know the vast majority of Reddit users didn’t care, but I know many of us are here to break free from all of that tomfoolery. Just happy to be apart of it. Don’t know how long it will last, but I’m hoping that it does.

On top of that, we can't expect communities to POOF into existence.

We have to be part of them to build them, which means making them if they don't exist yet as well as posting and commenting in the ones that do exist. I hope that people who are used to lurking on Reddit will go out of their comfort zone a bit and start to participate in fediverse communities so that we can build things up more quickly.
