Another great interview with @christianselig re: the whole #RedditMeltdown #RedditBlackout
I’d love to eventually see Christian develop an app for #Lemmy or #Kbin. A good mobile app could really help those communities grow, and unlike Reddit, they aren’t centrally controlled by corporations and tech bros. #FederationIsTheFuture #MakeTheWebGreatAgain

I'd like to run a #kbin or #lemmy instance specifically to make fediverse friendly communities based on some niche subreddits I interact with.
I would only allow posting in the communities, but no signups for the instance itself; people can simply sign up elsewhere and comment as needed through federation.
Does this sound like a good idea? Is this viable/would it work? Is there a better way? Should I make those communities on existing instances (.ml is overloaded tho)?
@arstechnica I highly recommend any redditors who feel passionately about freedom and open source migrate to the #fediverse “Lemmy” link aggregator platform instead of Reddit. I made my account on the https://infosec.pub and it has been super stable and fast even browsing external #lemmy instances.
If you don’t know what Lemmy is checkout the attached diagram made by @[email protected]
No one is asking Reddit for the moon and the stars, just to listen to small changes.
Even Twitch, which made horrendous moves this month, recognized that the community is what gives their company any value at all, and responded in some capacity to make their users feel heard.
