I really do like KBin and Lemmy and the fediverse on the whole, but development is still young and the userbase still growing. KBin is still basically early access, and Lemmy is buggy. I spent alot of time in reddit and I’m feeling the pain of trying to ween myself from it. Just wanted to here community perspectives and see how other’s are taking it.

For me, I feel a bit of a sore hollow spot for what reddit used to be and watching it implode is not fun for me.

    Yes absolutely. I miss so many subreddits so dearly, and some of them aren’t leaving reddit and I feel too guilty to go back there even though I’m a PC user. I’m really sad about everything, and I feel really lonely and awful. I’ve been super active in both the /kbin and Artemis communities, and they’re both wonderful, so I’m making new friends, but nothing’s going to fill the void truly.

    Everything is not awesome :(

      Go back to your Reddit friends (e: if you miss them).

      I hate Reddit as much as anyone else, but why make yourself miserable because of an API change?

      Stay on kbin AND stay on Reddit. Evangelize!

        I don’t have any interest in contributing to spez’s prosperity. He destroyed the modern Library of Alexandria.

        Consider my comment here as a rebuttal. If you want to stay on Reddit, that’s OK, but I see this as an opportunity for you to be a part of doing something different.

        I think it’s largely more than an API change. It felt miserable before Spez made his choice. This most recent choice was the end of a long line of bad choices Spez made. And I absolutely don’t care to see the trainwreck of that site after it’s IPO.
