Maybe someone should post this link every day for the foreseeable future because I think it’s gonna be a sleepless week for the Fediverse, but a great one as well....
From my Mastodon server I briefly had both an OpenCollective and a Patreon, and users there clearly wanted to use the Patreon more. I'd suggest setting up both.
One thing I have no personal knowledge of, but I have seen complaints online about the developers of Lemmy and the two servers they host, lemmy.ml ...https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106835057054633379
Love it here on this flagship server for #Kbin, but question: maybe we should find two other well-run, well-hosted servers to recommend to #Reddit users tomorrow and the next few days to avoid a crush of traffic on this one?...
Hey everyone, super excited to be exploring the fediverse both here on kbin and elsewhere. Looking for a Mastodon client primarily for iOS, great to see the main app is open-source, but there seems to be quite a few options out there. Feel free to share non-iOS clients for others' benefit as well....
Not entirely sure how possible this is, but it's a pretty large pitfall I just discovered. If someone links a thread in a comment and I click it, my browser will open the thread in their instance, not mine. Therefore, if I want to interact with the post they linked, I have to copy it, paste it into my instance's search bar, find...
In the mastodon space, folks are figuring out this exact same issue. For that space my team wrote about 100 lines of javascript code that made it far better. If you click on a remote link, it asks you ONCE what your home server is. And after that the JS automatically writes all URL's to funnel you back to your home server to interact with them. Can share that if folks want maybe it could be adapted.
One very good source for Kbin user data, should be updated every six hours. This crawler may also need to find some of the many new ones being set up, but this is a good start. Will post others.
A friend described it as great resource for black out days to: "stay updated on the % growth (day) of various subreddits, enabling you to gauge their participation in the blackout and understand the community's response."
With the upcoming #meta #Project92 Fediverse service, this is a plan to fight smarter in how to both protect our users, and how to be better battle plan to protect the Open Social Web.

OC I love the chaos at the moment
I'm feeling a real positive energy and community spirit as a result of the sudden fragmentation of reddit's foundational use base....

We should be able to click links on other lemmy/kbin instances and open them in our own instance
