FediTips has moved!Jun 12, 2023

There's a Fediverse alternative to #Reddit called #Kbin. More info at https://kbin.pub

Still VERY new, not many servers yet, two so far in English:

No app yet, use it through these sites. Subreddits are called "Magazines". You can interact with magazines from other servers.

Coders help Kbin at https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core, non-coders donate at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kbin

(Sorry to people bored of this, had many requests to put info in one place)

p.s. Kbin is part of the Fediverse. You can follow Kbin accounts and magazines from Mastodon etc, and follow Mastodon etc accounts from Kbin.

However, the cross-platform federation doesn't seem to be working properly yet (bear in mind the project is only a few months old!).

There's also a complication about the Kbin.social server being overwhelmed over the last few days. Kbin.social has had to use Cloudflare to cope with the overwhelming load, which is known to mess up federation.

@feditips I'm joining the "get bent reddit" movement but it's definitely a learning curve. I've never heard of the fediverse before this and I'm definitely lost but willing to learn.

Mastodon has already replaced birdsite and book of faces for me so I am eager to get my HFY and other reddit fixes here too.

@kelce @mstrmustache @feditips The one thing I miss about Twitter is the random posts. I'd get a fair number of left-field posts that were actual interesting. Lots of toxic, too, of course Maybe I'm doing Mastodon wrong, though.

You still get that by following a wide variety of accounts and seeing what they boost.
