majkeliReddit CEO doubles down on attack on Apollo developer in drama-filled AMA
This got me to check out Reddit alternatives... Landed on kbin.. so here we go?
I’m here for the same. Let’s hope this place has what we’re looking for, eh?
Yeah but if we don't see a community/magazine we want (that exists on reddit), do we take it upon ourselves to start it or do we wait for the mods of the reddit sub to create it?
So far I'm in the wait and see camp, especially until the apps actually shut down on the 30th. In an optimistic view where this site takes off (I don't even know what that means in a federated situation. Aren't the instances fracturing communities? Posts transfer but it doesn't seem comments do...), moderation of huge magazines would be incredibly time consuming and difficult, I imagine.
Yeah that's a really good point. Hopefully we (or someone) can get this figured out with a good solution
Also +1 for that marathon pic
Admittedly the system is a bit confusing as far as UX goes. I’m a fairly nerdy gal and am familiar with servers and software packages and “instances”, and I’m still having issues wrapping my head around the UX.
For example. I’m on Kbin, federated with Lemmy instances. Which is working obviously. But how do I go about discovery of networks and instances and communities within those instances from Kbin? That seems possible but to an uninitiated user, not exactly the simplest thing. None of this is a dealbreaker for me, but what about others? Am I the only one not quite understanding how it all slots together interface wise?
No, you are definitely not the only one. I explored this style of social media for the first time several months ago because of what was going on with Twitter.
I got confused pretty quickly and ultimately decided it would be easier to just quit Twitter and use Reddit only, even though I would be giving up things I liked about Twitter.
But now we're here, so I'm trying again. Still confused tho
There's no guarantee there going to come over, so I'd say make it yourself. You can always add them in the future if they do make the switch and still want to be a mod.
I for one had modded r/beards (up until 2 months ago) and r/moustache for 7 years. I just made a moustache community on lemmy.ml Moustache community in Lemmy anyone is welcome to join!!
Do you really want a ton of super mods here too?
