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.

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.

New users should be aware that there have been concerns raised about the #Lemmy developers and the developers' main instances.

Others point out that, in the #Fediverse, instance moderation is up to the instance operator and that the technology itself is agnostic. Indeed, there are Mastodon instances that are pretty vile, and defederation is always an option here.

In any case, you should be aware of these issues concerning Lemmy.

Yeah that is some throwing the baby out with the bath water pattern of thought.

If Lemmy can be valuable to the Fediverse community then it doesn’t matter one bit whether the developers are good people or bad people or smelly or have their in bad intentions.

This isn’t like magic. The software will do what it is programmed to do regardless of the mindsets and motivations of the developers.

@volkris Not disagreeing with you, or taking a position one way or the other. The purpose of this post was simply to make people aware of the issue.
