None of my other subscribed YouTubers/communities compare, imo!

Same, it’s hard not to use Reddit for searches.

I searched for recommendations for parking in a somewhat random area - and turns out there were five other posts with similar questions and about 6 clear cut comments from people who knew the area.

I won’t be active though - so good luck to them with new and interesting content. That’s where I’m here for now and it’s already giving the fix at a beginner stage in development.

I prefer referring to my moderators as doors instead of keys, which are also far more gestational.

Happy Birthday to all fathers - the lore tells a tale of a great migration of tribeless males, hand in hand they walked towards the original all-women tribe of Vaginxanestrogentalia. They were finally ready to mate and progress the species. This was on Jin (olde Engrish for June) 18th, -4209 STE (Starceptor Time E-Slot). This is a time to remember who we are, and, what will become.

Seconded

For science only, I would like to have the chance to understand wherever you folks seem to get these nfsw content on your main page (or sidebar? I don’t even know where that exists)

Please, please help me avoid such content by telling me where to find it so then I can never go there and only understand better in what framework such content would exist

Honestly, I don’t get any of this on my main (Local) feed

This might actually get my gf to join and attempt to understand the Fediverse.

Plc haff dis kbinnnibinni - my girlfriend probably (not me, I’d never ever talk like that ever)

Law of attraction is more influential than anything - providing alternatives when/if it’s requested is enough, and contributing here!

Great reply, thanks for explaining. That’s basically what I’ve gathered and I wasn’t paying close attention even during Tesla’s growth. I think it bewildering enough that your latter ‘optimistic’ take strangely wouldn’t surprise me. Because yeah, it just seems like a total 180 to being all about ‘climate-conscious’ capitalism, then to radical investments, then to free speech, then to kind of appearing to stand for none of the above.. so now he appears to be an asshole who also doesn’t give a shit about anyone else, mocking everyone who stood for any one of his virtue-signals to gain seemingly only more wealth and power.. it will never make sense to me.

June 30th is the big day, maybe they’ll make another attempt. On an app that’s all about just shooting the shit, and not giving too many shits about others due to anyonmity, Reddit/Spez were counting on the “I don’t give a shit” mentality to stick around on Reddit.

So with that said, I’d rather not give a shit about Reddit and have this just be a catalyst for people who even give a few shits about the internet or just decency, to head here.. then feel better about not giving a shit about a lot of shit except whatever shit you’re into, on a platform that promotes better, less greedy, less out-to-get-you type shit.

That federation button switched to “off” will not show content on home feed from the other instances.

I had the same question and posted it in meta, a kind user let me know and it works great. I prefer kbin’s feed.

I know this will seem sarcastic but I am genuinely shocked. I’m not the most versed in Elon’s biography, although I do know he has treated his employees like shit, acted pompous about subjects and issues he’s not an expert on whatsoever, and just generally seems very egotistical (u/spez, somehow seems even more egotistical to me, as a side note).

The entire Twitter thing does, frankly, blow my mind. I know this community much like Reddit will lean progressive or at least centrist. But I would like to hear from some closeted “Musketeer” or open conservative - why on earth does the “free-speech” promoter seem to love to ban people so much? I thought the whole thing about free-speech was Twitter was banning people too much and he was gonna stop all that.

It really does blow my mind to think people will tout a virtue only for the sake of their own benefit.. is that not the definition of Machiavellian?

1am-8:30am ish

No qualms here - tho if I’m tired earlier (once or twice a week) then that’s great

The moderated, reasonable stance is that everyone is right! Beehaw probably could have done things differently, including making a stickied post that they don’t want to be the default large instance, and/or acquired a lot more mods to manage the federation of other large instances. On the other hand, Lemmy doesn’t have the same principles as Beehaw and prioritized the growth of their userbase over a filtering system. To you it looks like one is worse than the other, that’s because you want to see content from everywhere and don’t share the principles of the other federation - so you’re probably not a good fit for Beehaw atm (and if anyone is blindsided, I don’t get it.. I could see it written all over Beehaw that they are trying to promote certain principles over growth, I don’t share in those principles but I can respect that they were direct about it).

Everyone on the Fediverse should expect to see instances un/re-federate several times over especially in the growing stages. The critique is fine but it should definitely be tempered with reasonable expectations and not unnecessary ridicule.

The idea that people are missing content on Lemmy/Beehaw/Kbin instances that get defederated are looking at this from a “this should be super convenient” mentality which, convenience is why Reddit expects you’ll go back. Quality of content, genuine community-building, and/or responsible upper management doesn’t have as much value there, it is inherent in them being a VC, convenience is what matters most on Reddit/TikTok/Twitter/etc.

On the Fediverse, the one thing that should be said more is that the instance you join, you should prepare to be involved locally through that instance more than anything else. The idea you can or should just join anywhere was something I wrong wrong about, as was much of the Reddit people saying “join Lemmy it doesn’t matter where, it’s all federated.” I don’t blame them or myself, it’s a newer concept and nuance is lost at the entry- level to anything. If people were coming to the Fediverse for fully federated, more convenient content than they should try Mastadon, because they’re farther along and had their own issues to deal with during the Twitter migration that propelled them much like these instances that are still growing and learning will, in time.

Doesn’t it already do this?

@ElectroVagrant

1. Ah, that makes sense - I always see that uncolorized “fediverse” logo and think of it like the “Share” button on iOS (and various other icons). It works! That was easy. Now I can go sub to the instances on Lemmy/beehaw when I get the time.

2. Yep, agreed. They’re doing a lot rn so I get it. Overall I love the feel on Kbin mobile - maybe slightly smaller font size ?

3. Yes boosting works for saving a post!! I had heard that as well but didn’t see a spot to change it - tbh I haven’t looked much at my own profile and saw there’s a slider where you can move over to boosted posts/comments and it shows them!

Thank you! 🙏

Clicking on the @ in your comment to me right to their profile. I’m on mobile

You mean essentially your comment and this whole chain?

If you’re comparing to Reddit it’s like being on a megathread - topic is just the subreddit itself.

If you’re comparing to Twitter, then I think your logic makes sense
