I honestly think the whole thing will work out quite nice now that Lemmy and Kbin users can interact with each other.
All I care about is that Sync for Lemmy is coming along with us.
Some things really are right with the world...
The world had to burn to rise up from the ashes
Getting better and better by the minute!
At this point, if it fails for some reason it will be because of too many people out of control.
I joined about a week ago, and subscribed to everything so I would see any content at all. Things were that way for a short while, then I didn't come for 2 days, came back yesterday and now I'm unsubscribing things so I don't get overwhelmed.
Lemmy just happened.
*just upvotes every post* I’m doing my part too!
Upvote a lot, but try to keep it to the top half of quality. We do want the quality to go up with the number of posts instead of just pure numbers.
How did you post from kbin.social to lemmy.ml?!?
Okbuddybaka represent! Straight from the streets of antemeridiem
New to this, but I think unless there's some blocking done it is indeed possible to post and comment on communities of different instances.
And that's the beauty of this federation thing.
If there's anything that keeps me coming back to a platform, it's Simpsons shitposts
Now, kbin.social, there's a UI you can set your watch to!
Take that Unitas!
Yea Iike this WHOLE thing. I can't describe it without getting sort of emotional and wordy. It feels like I'm surrounded by my peers. I actually like being here.
I feel the same way about https://lemmy.ml/c/buildapcsales I'm doing my damnedest to keep posting so this thing takes off!
I mean, what other reddit clones are there?
Not any that aren't open source afaik
If those got popular, they could just end up facing the same issue as reddit anyway...
Even without that though, the ux soon being better than reddit with Sync for Lemmy and Memmy coming out is more than enough to put this above all the others, including reddit, imo
I hope you’re right. Reddit can suck on my twitchy little dick.
There's Tildes but they're not federated and have a pretty snobby admin. Deimos was supposed to be handing down good moderator tools like two years ago but I don't know if that ever happened because I gave up on it.
He still has pretty exclusive control of the site, like only he and other admins (are there other admins?) can make new communities/subtildes(?) and only based on admins perceived demand.
Ya that sounds awful
In the warmth of last autumn’s embrace, my Reddit account locked in its place.“I’ve argued too much,” I sighed, wearied by battles of digital pride.My wife, her patience thinned, her annoyance kindled like leaves in the wind.In my ear, a constant lament, “Finish your comment, our time’s better spent.”
An unbound screen, my tethered desire, the silence it gave, quenched my heart’s fire.Lurking in shadows, seeking no fame, I found happiness in not playing the game.Less was the time on my phone, more was the peace in our home.
Yet a beacon called, by the name of Lemmy, a new realm in which to spend my penny.Arguing, scarce; engagements, light; but shadows cast in my wife’s sight.My son on his throne, a royal training, my focus faltered, my duty waning.
From her eyes, shifty looks, I received, as if my carelessness, she grieved.My attention lured by the screen’s allure, family moments passing, unsure.A reminder, harsh yet kind, about what’s truly behind the grind.
To balance love, and pixel’s call, a task set out for us all.So I ponder on this digital dance, giving life’s moments more than a glance.In the search for likes and upvotes won, let’s not forget the real-world fun.
================================
This poem was created by gpt 4 based on this true story:
My reddit account got soft locked last fall, i never fixed it because i was spending too much time arguing and my wife was getting annoyed waiting because “i gotta finish this comment” All was fine after, i spend less time on my phone. And just felt a little happier just lurking. Now on Lemmy I haven’t had to really argue with anyone yet, but i have seen some shifty looks from my wife as i was paying more attention to my phone than my son during potty training.
I sit here staring at the people sprawling out.
Webs of diamond thought, making me think.
