Is the list of blocked instances available to view somewhere? It’d be nice to know which instances are currently blocked on Kbin.social

Totally understand the reasoning and honestly I wouldn’t be shocked if most if not all that content still exists somewhere. I would be shocked if some fan somewhere hadn’t backed it up at some point like with the Wendy’s one shot

Seems to be sort of working for me. The home page still loads but no comments load. I only open the app occasionally though. I’ve been mostly using Kbin now especially since I’ve been able to beta test Artemis

Upvoting this from the Artemis app! These are all super cool, I especially love the Artemis ones

It always annoyed me how the ads were formatted to look like posts, always felt like they were trying to trick people into clicking on it (which honestly that probably is the intent). Feel the same way with ads on Twitter. It’s one thing to show ads and another to format them to try and trick users into clicking on them

Yeah I lurked for a long time on Reddit since one of my first posts on there got downvoted into oblivion by said toxic users, so I was afraid to post or comment for a long time. Here is definitely a lot more comfortable

Judging by the comments it looks like all the extreme emoji haters are the toxic people who refuse to leave Reddit. I love that for the most part the people that left Reddit and are active in Kbin/Lemmy aren’t the super toxic ones that frequented Reddit, it’s really a breath of fresh air

Same lol, I was like “why is it going to have a small battery? That seems like an odd choice”

It was sometimes used for posting, like you had to have a certain amount of karma to post in certain subs

He talked about it on the polish instance. Someone accused him of some serious stuff and he explained where all the naming came from in the comments: https://karab.in/m/fediverse/p/217281/The-reason-for-the-strange-naming-and-uncomfortable-images-on#post-comment-311421

What’s dumb is reputation doesn’t even do anything on Kbin right now other than make you go “haha I have higher number than you” so reputation farming is a total waste of time. Personally I hope it stays that way as it will deter the farmers, I can see some of the benefits of the karma system in Reddit but it’s just too prone to manipulation to be actually useful in any way.

It’s strange, I’ve seen other instances that have upgraded to 0.18 that have no issues whereas some have issues. I’ve also seen some that aren’t federating even on earlier versions. lemmy.blahaj.zone upgraded to 0.18 but seems to still be federating just fine with Kbin, but lemmy.ml seems super broken with Kbin. Hopefully it gets resolved soon, I’ve run across several communities I want to follow but can’t due to federation being broken

%100 this. I have Mastodon and use it sparingly because I found a good community but I still find myself going back to Twitter because most of the people I follow on Twitter haven’t moved and most of the people I follow on Twitter are celebrities or influencers. The only way a #twittermigration will work is if most of the influencers and celebrities move off the platform as that’s the content most regular users go for. With Reddit however we just need people that create good content to move, the lurkers will follow the content regardless of how “complicated” the platform is. The reddit lurkers won’t stay on Reddit if there isn’t any quality content being posted there, they may be satiated with reposts for a while but eventually they will leave and go looking for the content and if that content is on Kbin/Lemmy they will come here.

Try this link: https://lemmy.world/c/catsubs@kbin.social
Someone else got it to start federating in lemmy.world

It needs to be manually searched first, if you search !catsubs@kbin.social it should come up, though another commenter said that lemmy.world is having some issues searching right now so that could be the reason

If you search: !catsubs@kbin.social on Lemmy it should show up as a community you can subscribe to in Lemmy. Someone on your instance needs to manually search it for it to start federating, not sure how it works with pinned comments though. Hopefully those will eventually show up even though they were posted before federation started. If not bringing it up on Kbin and copying the link works too.

I might need to create a Lemmy account just so I can learn more about how to use it, I’ve been using Kbin since last week and am really liking it so far

Yet more reasons why people should stop using LastPass… I finally switched to Bitwarden after getting tired of having to choose between using it on mobile or desktop. Got out before the hack. I’m going to work on transferring my data again to a self hosted Bitwarden

Read that as EPCOT at first and was really confused what a theme park in Florida had to do with the storms in Texas haha

Nope, the wells been poisoned. Even if they did a full 180 and Fired Spez for good measure, they’ve shown their hand. How long before they do it again? Even if all of this was %100 Spezs idea and everyone else in the company opposed it, could we really trust the replacement to never try this or anything similar again? How long before the next CEO decides to try again? What Reddit as a company has proven is that they can’t be trusted, and what we as a community have proved with switching over to Kbin and Lemmy is that we don’t need Reddit. We can make the same content and have the same or in some cases better communities and the beauty of doing it on a platform like this? A greedy corporation can’t destroy it again. Even if a major instance owner goes rogue, we pick up move to another instance and keep going no need to learn a new site no need to rebuild communities. A simple “I’m moving over to this instance!” And that’s it

Oh gosh right wing TikTok sounds like a nightmare.
