God what a mess. The only people left employed by Reddit at this rate will be the managers lol.
Sub Rehab - See Where Reddit Communities have Relocated
Find your next diving spot. A list of subreddit alternatives on different platforms.
It's based on nitro but also how old your account is. I don't have nitro but joined in 2016 and got a message to update mine last week
Check out Hetzner, you can get a very powerful dedicated server for under that budget.
We have m/LiminalSpaces here on kbin! Although not much in it due to the young age.
Considering they'd be handless if they eat normal sausage rolls (pork), they probably would be a bit miffed about that
This will download your own content! https://github.com/aliparlakci/bulk-downloader-for-reddit
Commander Keen: Episode 4 was the first game I remember vividly enough and there was always one bit I could never get past or figure out what to do next!
You have magazines such as m/Musicproduction but currently empty due to the age of the site. I think most niche mags will be like that until we start filling them with content and they get discovered by users.
Yeah very true but I suppose those are just anagrams and each sub has their own in a lot of ways. The user experience of 'Front Page', 'Subreddits' and how to subscribe to them and navigate the site is what I was referring to.
You can get scripts that will edit all your comments before deleting them.
I think the biggest thing that I didn't really notice at first was just how Reddit 'works'. It was very much 'what you see is what you get' and didn't really take much to figure out how to use it.
With anything new though there's a learning curve and after 24 hours or so on kbin, I'm starting to figure out how this and the wider Fediverse works and it's feeling more and more like home.
Also Reddit is also 18 years old (in a few days) and has 52million+ users so there's obviously more content. As this platform grows it will be easier to get the content you want but at the moment it's going to take some work from the user to search for magazines and contribute.
I'm quite new to all of this so don't take my word as gospel but I agree with you. Earnest, the 'admin' of this instance has said he's working on getting the stability of kbin taken care of so it's only going to get better as time passes.
It's having an explosion of new users, magazine creation and general activity so it's probably going to take some time to catch up and upgrade accordingly.
Things have been hit and miss for the last day or so in terms of viewing other communities on other instances. You may find that in a few hours it's showing posts when browsing from kbin, I'm seeing other ones that were empty now starting to show posts and comments.
Just based off this it really does look like they're going all out on forcing people to use the app. If the pricing structure changes wipe out a good portion of the 3rd party apps and you then can't even use a browser, who's really going to download a whole-ass app just to browse a website? Not to mention the data mining the app will be doing on your device.
Bad idea after bad idea from Reddit at the moment and all its going to do is push users to leave which at this point, most are happy to do.
Reddark - Tracking subreddits that are going dark or read-only on June 12th and after.
An open source website to watch subreddits going dark. Many are deciding to go dark indefinitely to protest.
I went from Europe to Japan by myself. I think the biggest difference which I actually really enjoyed was that (unlike Europe) it was me who was the 'different' person. I didn't fully understand the culture, language, fashion etc. It was a totally new experience and massive opportunity to live in and absorb a culture that was very unknown to me.
Yeah very true, I think the main reason for this is the ratio of lurkers to contributors has always been so high. So until mags start getting more subscribers things might stay that way.
Although, I've found there was no InternetIsBeautiful mag so I went ahead and made it and have started to post on it when I can, attempting to drive some traffic to it and start some discussions at the very least.
I think we'll need to be the change we want to see and just start posting and commenting as much as possible!
Oh I see, so kbin is an instance in its own right that uses activitypub and that's what links it to other instances that use it too? I think I'll go watch some videos explaining all of this, maybe on PeerTube instead of YouTube ;)
How comes it doesn't give any results for the magazines on kbin but it does for the other instances?
