A parallel to this is happening over on Tildes: talklittle, the RiF dev, is planning to make an app for Tildes.

Tildes itself is not part of the fediverse so no, outside of users themselves posting content from kbin on Tildes.

Long and short term, which features would you like to see implemented?

For me flair is probably the most important. I follow a lot of organized sports and being able to quickly identify which team someone supports helps the conversation move along without having to write "as a fan of..." in every single comment. And this isn't a like talking shit, sports guy thing. It's genuinely extremely useful...

Multi-magazines are definitely something I'm looking forward to. There will come a point where I will want to see content about a specific subject, and I'll be subscribed to too many magazines for looking at the entire "subscribed" section to be feasible.

For anyone using an ad blocker, this can also be achieved through putting *.reddit.com as a filter.

OC Some ramblings about the future

Tbh, this has been on my mind for the past two days, so I hope you guys don't mind if I unload it here. I tend to obsess and I figure if no one cares, then at least I can get it out of my head instead of thinking about it all the time. Also sorry for the length, I promise I have a doctor's note....

...Wait, isn't there a reputation counter sitting right there on everyone's profile?

Replying to posts in the Microblog section seems to autofill pings for everyone in the reply chain. What is the purpose of this? Does this mean that if the @ isn't included the user wouldn't get a notification for the reply, or am I overthinking this?

I've seen "kbinaut" mentioned elsewhere and I do like that one.

To be fair, having the website's infrastructure start folding on itself because there is less content is not something I would have expected.

The fact it did happen is not reassuring, though.

Personally I like the fact that kbin can also handle the microblogging side of the fediverse. I know having a one-stop shop for everything is exactly what federalized social media is trying to prevent, but I think being able to access a variety of content without it necessarily being the host for that content is a nice middle ground.

Also, and this is admittedly trivial, but on kbin the profile picture is square. Finally I am free from the rounded avatar nightmare.

Dear pre-migration Keebinetters, how can we NOT ruin kbin for you?

As a former redditor I am glad to have found a new "home" and I hope I'm not intruding. Nevertheless, we are all a huge migration that is bound to change how kbin works and we're bound to piss off some pre-migration Keebinetters. The fact you guys were here before and not in reddit makes evident you don't want this to become a...

Yeah, this instance was unusably slow when I first showed up, but the dust seems to be settling and I'm looking forward to see how this goes.

You are not, and it was even slower for me at the time you posted this thread than it is now. Hopefully things will stabilize as ernest works on getting more solid infrastructure and mitigating the load from all the traffic.

palex00, to AskKbin

Is anybody here that witnessed the original migration from Digg to Reddit? How did it feel? Does it feel the same right now?

@palex00

I wonder if this would apply to Tildes, which does have a long-standing userbase.
