I'll definitely be sticking around to see what happens with Lemmy. I may end up using kbin primarily but am very much interested in subscribing to Lenny communities across instances. It's been tremendous fun learning about the Fediverse and ActivityPub, and I also think that decentralization is a good response to what we have all witnessed with centralized social media

Currently on Lemmy but very interested in creating an account here on kbin for the improved interaction with Fediverse apps. Reading this has been so helpful in seeing the pros and cons to each option. Thanks to everyone for sharing their views

Doing that right now! Browsing Lemmy while the Frasier Crane’s Nightmare Inn disaster is unfolding

Can you go into more detail about that? I’d like to know more about how mastodon/Lemmy content appears to a kbin user

Are subs automatically granted or is there something else required in order to join?

Ah I see, thanks for explaining that!

I was scrolling furiously trying to find a mention of lofi girl 😆. What a great thread though, really curious to listen to some of these suggestions!

I’ve been buying lofi girl tracks and building my own collection of coding music from Bandcamp. (https://lofigirl.bandcamp.com/)

Helps support the music creators and I can customize my soundscape to suit the coding task at hand.

Thanks for staying on top of things! Really appreciate your efforts!

I have been back but not through the mobile app just to check on a few subreddits that I have not yet been able to find Fediverse community counterparts yet.

I’ve become mildly obsessed with exploring the Fediverse though and am easily spending more time here.

I just want to know what Norris did that earned him an “unsportsmanlike” penalty??

Thanks for sharing, this is pretty fantastic!

I agree with the OP, the whole UI facelift looks much cleaner. I also like the notifications, actually helped me realize something on my wishlist was on sale. I usually find that out from an email Valve sends out 😆

Hopefully all these changes don’t come at the expense of computer resources though!

I had that problem earlier as well earlier in the week but I’m able to sub to kbin.social magazines now. Still figuring out how all this works though 😄

Patrick Stewart will do another shoey with Daniel Ricciardo
