Mastodon MigrationJun 12, 2023

So, what's going on with all this #RedditMigration #Lemmy #kbin stuff?

Short version. Reddit is a mess. Users are fleeing to the #Fediverse.

There are two Fedi #Reddit alternatives you can join, Lemmy and kbin.

kbin: https://fedia.io/register (also https://kbin.social/register but now slammed)
Lemmy: https://infosec.pub/signup

New migrants please be patient. This is a lot like Nov 2022. It will be choppy, but get sorted out. This is another golden opportunity to break down corporate social media.

@mastodonmigration Question:
Is it possible to visit other instances without signing up for a given one? I'm content with newsie.social, but I don't want to leave it, but it would be interesting to check out what's going on in other instances.

@SharonGibson3 Yes. For instance this link will take you to a #kbin post on using kbin:

This link will take you to the author's dannekrose @dannekrose profile. This is a kbin account, but you can see it from Mastodon. That's the wonder of the Fediverse.

A small FAQ to hopefully help new users to kbin (updated June 11 17:00 GMT) - kbinMeta - Kilioa Kbin

I wanted to post this here since I want to help as much as I can in my own way to people coming here for the first time. I hope it is useful and helpful! I tried to assume low knowledge with the Fediverse in my responses which I collected here from a different post and assembled into a single article....
