Seen a few people asking if there's a document comparing #lemmy to #kbin and explaining what they are and why they exist and why they are hot and how to do them.

So I wrote one in my #blog

Here you go.

Groups On Fediverse – Lemmy and KBin – Dalliance

As you can likely surmise from that, I did register a kbin account on @jerry 's instance.

I was gonna hold off mentioning it until the image upload stuff is working but I am quite enjoying the imagelessness of it. Simplicity, no distractions. Like reader mode in Firefox.

Anyway, the lucky account name is @[email protected] so everyone feel free to follow there or not too. Expect I'll boost it here from main if I say anything particularly clever anyway.

is #bluesky going to have sophisticated groups and indexing like #Lemmy and #KBin?

Is #Nostr?

Both of them could, eventually, but they're so far behind at this point. Don't expect it any time soon.

Actually might not be long till #nostr is there with the complex index pages.

They have satellite.earth and outer.space and zapddit.com all working on it, and Nostr can most quite fast coz it's simple and not corporate controlled like Bluesky.

Course, they mostly seem to want to mix that crypto money the use into the upvotes, which will ruin it for sure.

But won't be long till Nostr has some kind of reddit/group-index solution going.

A lot of the confusion about how federation works between lemmy and fbin and the microbloggers like Mastodon and Calckey etc. come from the fact that at the moment the servers are mostly so overloaded it isn't really working at all.

@pre could you maybe expand on why payments might ruin Nostr? Because people can/could buy upvotes & thus skew like counts, or is there another reason? Thanks!

@jraedisch Even just chasing likes changes people. Changes what they say, who they think they are saying it to. Chasing money changes them more.
Show threadJasperAug 18, 2023
@pre I am definitely chasing likes (reactions on Nostr), really reach, not yet money. Probably the amounts are too miniscule, and I do not expect them to become much larger soon.
Where I think payments get really interesting for is (slightly bigger) requests. E.g. can someone collect some obscure dataset for me.

@pre Of course for that to work, payments should ideally not be denominated in a too ideologically loaded token.

@pre that was a really informative read for a noob like me. Thank you!

@pre Just a quick heads-up, I visited fedia.io a few minutes ago and the images are now working. ^_^

See my profile for example: @[email protected] / https://fedia.io/u/youronlyone

@pre Consider this about Lemmy's developers, though, from @feditips: https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106835057054633379
