I feel good on kbin
Same. I’ve been on Reddit for almost 12 years and for so long now, every time I post or comment I go through a several-minute-long phase of “Ugh no one needs to hear from my stupid arse on this topic” and “Jesus Christ what a stupid ass comment…” Twitter I’ve been on years also but I barely use because it was going down the shitter long before Space Karen got his hands on it.
Been here in the Fediverse on Mastodon and Kbin for a few weeks now and it’s like going from gas station sushi that may be fresh that day to a high end sushi shop with a great omakase. Reddit still has some subs that, in my own realm of interests, haven’t picked up yet here in the Fediverse, but even just over the last 3 weeks the changes and increase in content has been very noticeable.
What I look forward to the most is when different interest groups start federating their own instances, like startrek.website is doing already. It takes time for these communities to grow, but I’m sure that in time decentralization is going to do wonders for them. :)
I’ve been commenting on (fediverse twitter equivalent) mastodon posts on kbin, with my kbin account, because mastodon is also federated with kbin.
Sure, the fediverse is fragmented, but it’s also far more connected.
TIL there’s someone working on federating wordpress with mastodon. That means we’ll soon be able to ‘boost’(retweet) a wordpress article on The Rules of Acquisition on mastodon with a kbin account and have lemmy users comment on it with a Quark gif they found on pixelfed(instagram equivalent) or a video from peertube (youtube equivalent).
Honestly, it feels a bit like we’ve been robbed all these years, commenting on screenshots of tweets you can’t easily copy paste or snapchat videos that barely load in the janky reddit videoplayer. That and switching between 5 different messenger apps, because these greedy cunts refuse to allow you to send a message from insta to whatsapp, because it might mean you spend 5 seconds less looking at ragebait content surrounded by ads.
We feel good thar you’re here :)
Same here! Been here since the blackout started, and it’s been a fantastic community.
I tried a few different places, but kbin just felt ‘right’ to me. Happy to be here with you all!
This my instance, there are many like it but this one is mine
Happy to see it!! I’m enjoying my new home, and welcome others to do the same
Same here, lurked for a couple of days before making an account. Seems like a decent place to hang while doomscroll on the toilet.

I feel this comment.
Performance seems to not be an issue as well.
Turns out things run smoother, when you don’t need to load your social network with tracking, telemetrics and advertisements.
Who could have guessed?
And it feels good to be one of them!
reddit has 55+ million daily active users, just some food for thought
Quality over quantity. Glad to be here!
It’s also been around for like 18 years… It’s legally an adult.
Kbin has been active for about 2 weeks. 57k signups in 2 weeks, and 3.3k since yesterday, is a pretty incredible clip of new users.
That’s true, but I would just point out that the nice thing is you are not limited to kbin. I found the United Kingdom community on the Lemmy ‘Feddit’ instance. There isn’t a United Kingdom magazine here, so I just subscribed to the Feddit one, via Kbin. Seems to be working pretty seamlessly.
You don’t need that many active users for a rich and engaging community. I also don’t believe kbin will or should replace reddit. But it’s a great alternative for those that don’t like the way things are going on reddit.
It’s nice here. :)
Great progressive growth, it’s a great place here
It feels like a construction site but I’m confident for the next months. This can grow into a great platform.
I dig it here so far
