stillnotahero, to kbinMeta

Can someone please remind me how to open a Lemmy community in kbin? Maybe this is a bigger issue on mobile.

If I open a federated community I see this in kbin : https://imgur.com/a/oFQnMqj

And if I click the link to ‘Browse more on the original instance’ I’m brought to this screen : https://imgur.com/a/uNCvirP

And there is no option to subscribe without creating an account on that instance.

I think I might have read you need to search with a specific phrase but I can’t find where I saw that.

Sorry not sure I understand. Let me try another example and maybe that will solidify it.

I’d like to join this community: https://imgur.com/a/lJX8b7u

When I search @asklemmy in kbin.social is see this: https://imgur.com/a/oeDPZ8i

I tried modifying the link you previously posted to show as : https://kbin.social/m/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Which shows as : https://imgur.com/a/ysUutXx

But this community has far fewer subscriber and comments than the “original” Lemmy community, as seen here: https://imgur.com/a/givdaoE

So I am just trying to figure out… why? And how can I fix this? And how can I iron out the process? Thanks in advance!

Is there anyone out there in the who might be able to help answer a question for a recent refugee trying to learn his way in this world?

stillnotahero, to golf

Does anyone use a golf app on their phone? I’ve tried the free trials for Swing U and … 18Birdies I think it’s called. It was nice to have a digital score card and a GPS image of the hole with distances. However I only play a few times a year so I don’t think I could justify ~$100 / year subscription costs. Probably would be better off spending the money on more golf balls. Or lessons lol

Has anyone found an app extraordinarily helpful? Worth the price?

stillnotahero, to RedditMigration

Call me a bird, because I’m now migrating. Poor jokes aside, I’m hoping to ask a quick question. And I hope this is the place to do it. But since it’s a learning experience and I’m asking for help I won’t be offended if you tell me.

Anyways, I’ve been dabbling with kbin and Mastodon a bit. I thought I might like Mastodon since there is an iOS app. But I don’t quite like how it’s laid out. It seems like I need to follow people or things for them to show up for me. With Kbin it feels more like Reddit in the sense that there is an ‘all’ page comprised of many subsections to explore.

Am I correct in this assessment?

@hempster That's the thing, there's no "one-stop-shop" in the fediverse. It's federated. Some people will be posting from one site, some will be posting from another, they might both post on both magazines, they might only post on one or the other for whatever reason. In that sense, think of it like /r/games vs /r/gaming. How do you decide "which subreddit is the one-stop-shop for gaming?" you don't. You either use one or the other, or you use both.

@hempster reddit also has this as I said lol. multiple subreddits for the same topic. each one has it's own nuance.
