HairyblueLemmy and Kbin: The Best Reddit Alternatives?
Love Reddit but tired of what's happening to it? We check out Lemmy and Kbin, two open-source fediverse alternatives that are growing fast. #fediverse
livusGood article, this person federates.
I don't get why the author seems to be saying we can't see lists of lemmy communities from kbin, though.
czechFrom kbin- how do you see a list of communities on lemmy.world? I've been navigating to https://lemmy.world/communities in a separate browser window to discover communities to individually search/subscribe to from kbin.
Go to https//kbin.social/magazines and turn on local and federated, then hit the search button. For some reason all the top "hot" are kbin but the "new" and "active" are various.
Then if you specifically want, say, lemmy.world, type that into the search field and hit search again. It will all show.
This shows the lemmy.world communities that are already federated to my instance. Its not a full list.
True, but searching from a Lemmy instance will still only show you the ones which that one instance knows about. (I think?)
Yea, a lemmy instance will show the same kinds of results for federated communities but there is no substitute for viewing the local communities from that instance.
Click on the tab Magazines at the top, select local and federate, put lemmy.world in the search box to see all lemmy.world communities. If you want to check for community with certain keywords you can try putting [keyword]@lemmy.world. It can search for the keyword in both the name and description, but not extensive as if you'd search on lemmy.world.
This can use some improvement, but it's not a Kbin problem though, since Lemmy is even worse when it comes to searching for communities outside their own instances.
Edit: this just shows me the lemmy.world magazines that are federated to my instance
Ah, I see what you mean now. In that case I don't think you can do it on Kbin natively rn. There is this website though, which might help a bit. At least imo it's easier to use. https://lemmyverse.net/communities
You can just filter for only lemmy.world. When you find a community you want to join you'll have to type the handle of the community in the search icon to the right rather than in the Magazine tab for communities that doesn't already have a copy on your instance.
The article specifically says you can't search federated communities from kbin, but you can from Lemmy. This is just incorrect, both allow you to search local or local and federated.
Oh, right on then.
Melroy van den Berg@Hairyblue not advising Lemmy. And here is why: https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106835057054633379

Content warning: Please don't use Lemmy :( Human rights, oppression
staticlifetimeGlad people are not letting that die. That's why I'm here too, despite being on Lemmy long before.
remerWhat human rights oppression? I’m out of the loop.
@remer genocide plus more..
I have no idea what you mean by that. Do you have a link or something? Are the developers implicated in something? Is it an individual instance? Do you have a more credible source than a mastodon thread saying the same thing a bunch of times?
@remer look if you don't care that they are hard core communists. Then just keep using lemmy plz. And leave me alone.
Statement on Politics of Lemmy.ml - Lemmy.eus
Recently there have been some discussions about the political stances of the Lemmy developers and site admins. To clear up some misconceptions: Lemmy is run by a team of people with different ideologies, including anti-capitalist, communist, anarchist, and others. While @dessalines and I are communists, we take decisions collectively, and don’t demand that anyone adopt our views or convert to our ideologies. We wouldn’t devote so much time to building a federated site otherwise. What’s important to us is that you follow the site rules and Code of Conduct [https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/code_of_conduct.html]. Meaning primarily, no-bigotry, and being respectful towards others. As long as that is the case, we can get along perfectly fine. In general we are open for constructive feedback, so please contact any member of the admin team if you have an idea how to improve Lemmy. ## Slur Filter We also noticed a consistent criticism of the built-in slur filter in Lemmy. Not so much on lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] itself, but whenever Lemmy is recommended elsewhere, a few usual suspects keep bringing it up. To these people we say the following: we are using the slur filter as a tool to keep a friendly atmosphere, and prevent racists, sexists and other bigots from using Lemmy. Its existence alone has lead many of them to not make an account, or run an instance: a clear net positive. You can see for yourself the words which are blocked (content warning, link here [https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/crates/utils/src/utils.rs#L10]). Note that it doesn’t include any simple swear words, but only slurs which are used to insult and attack other people. If you want to use any of these words, then please stay on one of the many platforms that permit them. Lemmy is not for you, and we don’t want you here. We are fully aware that the slur filter is not perfect. It is made for American English, and can give false positives in other languages or dialects. We are totally willing to fix such problems on a case by case basis, simply open an issue in our repo [https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues]with a description of the problem.
Lemmy is open for anyone to create an instance. It’s inherently apolitical. There are instances far on both sides (lemmygrad.ml vs exploding-heads.com) and some that are not politically focused at all (lemmynsfw.com). It’s an open canvas, just like mastodon and kbin.
@remer I'm talking about the lead developers behind lemmy of course.
Lotide is good too.

Chris from EASTPIXEL@Hairyblue Thanks for this. Who thought that this year would be the one Reddit and Twitter get down the road and f*ck up its community?
