A suspicion I've had is that any community that's based around not being or liking something (like religion, or cars) will start exhibiting toxic behavior more quickly than ones that do not (humanism or urbanism, to mirror my previous examples). Since kbin and lemmy are at the moment unfortunately pretty defined by not liking Reddit, it's becoming a one-uppance of who can push against the 'normie' Reddit and Thread users more than actually building a sustainable community. I'm not certain how to combat that, except to learn to 'let go'?
They're different platforms, but normally you can see Lemmy posts on here, as both make use of the ActivityPub protocol (just like Mastodon). But for the past day the linking between the two (called federation) was turned off because of issues caused by the massive increase in traffic.
Rant: I hate the term “normie”.
Posted this in a small community, curious to know what everyone here thinks....
Federation status: ON
Seems like the federation was turned on not long ago. It's very exciting to be part of kbin's growth!
