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.

Register - Fedia

content aggregator and micro-blogging platform for the fediverse

#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.

Edit:
-Do not know about resourcing, but @smorks lemmy.ca https://lemmy.ca/signup has been mentioned
-You can also check out https://join-lemmy.org/ for more Lemmy instances

If you know of any other open well resourced Lemmy or kbin instances please reply to this post, and will list them here.

@mastodonmigration With the original lemmy devs being hard pro-China regime, and removing anti-China government posts and comments (on lemmy.ml and lemmygrad), be sure you look into who is running any Lemmy instance before you decide to join. I may wait until it's been forked by people without such an agenda. I'm also looking at kbin.

Staying at Reddit any longer isn't even a decision for me know; I've been active from back when it started, but now that's it's being musked I'll be out soon.

@W6KME Thank you. That is helpful. Have the lemmy devs done anything to address these concerns?
@mastodonmigration I don't know more than what I have read in various reddit fora (the ones that haven't been removed for advocating lemmy lol). There have been past efforts hardcode blockword lists etc, that later were made optional. It looks like nothing bad has successfully been embedded, but the efforts were there. I'd be happier if the devs left the politics to instance admins.
@W6KME Agreed. Helpful. It will be interesting to see how this concern is addressed.
@mastodonmigration @W6KME Promote Kbin not lemmy please with all this pro CCCP stuff going on lemmy
