inkican"It's the content, stupid" - some #chaoticgood ways to encourage people to get off of Reddit and onto Kbin
Jotting some quick notes I've observed so far from running /m/scifi for a couple of weeks and getting to 3K subscribers:... #RedditMigration
Hari SeldonYou're right.
I joined Lemmy two weeks ago, yet, I still spend most of my "Social network time" on Reddit. And the reason is that Reddit has more things to see, more interesting posts to interact with and so on.
I think that we that are already here should "prepare the place" so that others may come. And preparing the place means exactly creating posts and commenting. As simple as that.
I'm going cold turkey on Reddit for exactly this reason. I realised that if I allowed myself to use Reddit if I couldn't find the content I want elsewhere, then I'll never actually leave it.
Instead I'm trying to now use Lemmy to find the communities that I'm interested it, and to make the content that I'd like to see.
Some people are blocking reddit.com at the DNS level to help kick their addiction

It also means subscribing to remote groups so that they federate and populate in advance of more people arriving.
Kbin really needs an app to become daily for most people I think. I've spent a lot of time on Lemmy because of Jerboa and the fact this whole thing came about because of Reddit screwing over app devs means people will be looking for that be alternative.
SaturdaycatThis is true ! I do enjoy using the PWA app though
if other fedi projects are any indication, likely a unified API will develop. Mastodon's API is supported by most other fedi projects, so you can use mobile apps interchangeably. If Lemmy becomes dominant then kbin would have to implement an API to match.
If kbin gets an API, maybe apps like rif is fun can be ported to it!
artillectkbin has an API (docs here), but it isn't working right now
RagnellYou can install an app from the Kbin mobile page to your phone, though. Just go to the mobile page, there's an install app option under the 3 dots that works.
ivyI wasn't aware that it worked
I am working on an app myself but it's going to be about a month
kbin still doesn't fully have an api so any apps are going to have to wait until it's development is underway

The main board updates, but I have the worst time logging in from there or mobile. I think that's my phone and my fat fingers, though.
dismalnow55% of website traffic comes from mobile devices.
Apps are definitely the "killer app."
minnieoAn app is coming called Artemis (based on Apollo) see more about it here

theinspectorstI'm looking forward to a proper app with more functionality, but for now the progressive web app does work fine and I have it on my home screen on my phone in the place where Baconreader used to sit (and open it multiple times each day).
