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.

#Lemmy and #kbin are part of the Fediverse and you can see their content on Mastodon, but you currently get more functionality by creating a kbin or Lemmy account account:

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

Right now there are not many instances for either, but that does not mean the Fediverse can not handle a surge. Yesterday Mastodon's infosec.exchange spun up fedia.io (kbin) and infosec.pub (Lemmy) .

There is every reason to suspect that other established Mastodon instances will jump into the breach to help with #RedditMigration .

We are going to see chaotic and exciting days ahead as the Fediverse once again adds capacity, new users build out content, and developers make rapid fire improvements to their applications. But this is what we do best.

Be patient. You are part of the existential shift from corporate domination to people powered social media.

We got this.

@mastodonmigration I can't find the moderation rules these instances impose. I assume infosec.pub will be similar to infosec.exchange, but can't find anything for kbin or fedia :/

@ljrk @mastodonmigration fedia will likely be like infosec.exchange, as it鈥檚 run by them as well.

@dostalcody @ljrk Yes. Thank you. Jerry Bell @jerry can certainly be relied upon to do a solid job with https://fedia.io/

@mastodonmigration @dostalcody @[email protected] I don't doubt him, for me personally I'm just looking out for an outspoken politically left wing instance (while not being tankie/ml/stalinist like lemmy.ml). I can totally see that a lot of people want something more moderate, but unfortunately "political centrism" or related things often just make moderation a dull sword when it comes to things like transphobia.

I acknowledge that the rules ban such stuff, but for me a "safe" instance one where the rules err more on the side of caution, had too much of that shit from "moderate but progressive" instances.

But the good thing is: My rules don't need to apply to everyone. There'll be time and place for me as well :)

@ljrk @dostalcody Understood, and certainly that is coming. Early days. You might want to ask a Mastodon instance operator you like to spin up a #kbin or #Lemmy instance.

@mastodonmigration @dostalcody I don't want to overburden my favorite masto admin here at todon :-p

But yes, thought about it. If I wasn't such a crappy sysadmin myself... :D

@ljrk @mastodonmigration Oh I get you! I'm sure if one doesn't exist, it will come up eventually! Feeling safe in whatever community you join is 100% essential!
