That post seems to be missing.

Imagine if Christian converted Apollo over to kbin, that would be hilarious. Give it a few weeks a good 20% of Reddit could quite easily continue exactly moreorless as they were but without Reddit at all…

Edit - Christian if you see this, I would happily pay a few bucks for an Apollo/kbin app.

That would be brilliant

Damn this would instantly establish a massive community. I wonder how fast kbin will be able to handle the extra traffic tho.

Just need more instances.

But then, apparently the fact that people don't know that other kbin instances exist is what makes kbin interesting to people. Sigh.

I imagine Christian could just make his own instance kbin.apollo and maybe use app subscriptions or donations to give it a beefy server, but I wonder about over-centralization. (Or if that's even how this all works...)

But that would require him to administer a server. That's a lot of work.

Look at the strain its putting on ernest. We have a growing pile of threads talking about what features need to be added, but he's spending his time trying to keep the website from spontaneously combusting.

The separation of community administration and website administration was a key element of Reddit. It's what made it work at all. The separation of website administration and development takes this one step further.

If we'll ever stop demanding that software developers be social media website managers, at least.

A parallel to this is happening over on Tildes: talklittle, the RiF dev, is planning to make an app for Tildes.

Being part of this "fediverse" thing, would kbin content be visible in it?

Unlike reddit the website is actually usable and nice on mobile, that’s all I need for now

exactly. Notifications work well, the layout is almost exactly the same, it's responsive, it just works.

Main thing I'm missing is the ability to collapse comment threads. I'd prefer to not have to scroll past tons of replies to find the next main thread in a comment section.

Collapse threads and hide read posts (and manually hide posts I don’t want to read) are basically the only options I desperately want. Lol. Right now my feed is full of posts I don’t care about or have already finished.

So far the mobile browser experience has been spot on. I have a foldable and it switches pretty easily. It takes a sec to reload the page, but nothing crazy. A dedicated app would be nice though, I miss using Sync.

Sync was incredible, I'm not even upset about being unable to use Reddit, I'm just upset about not being able to use Sync
