what client? only one I've seen so far is that closed/full beta :-(
currently using a webapp which isn't terrible but isn't that great either
Is that another client? I’m still looking around. I had tried Mlem but it didn’t click for me
It's a client for lemmy on Android. You should definitely try it if you are on Android. I loved using Boost for reddit and Jerboa feels closest to it. I would daily drive it if not for kbin.
Theres a userscript that alows you to collapse the comments
https://github.com/gkasdorf/memmy
It’s in TestFlight currently but it’s getting there
At least the web app for kbin works reasonably well. It's a lot easier to get around on than the Lemmy mobile site.
I might not 100% grasp how this all works yet, but I signed up for lemmy.world and I’m talking to you here on Memmy. Is kbin not supposed to be connected to other instances?
Is there an easier way to get Memmy on Android rather than building it yourself?
+1 for Memmy!
I’m also pretty excited for Artemis, which is…ahem…inspired by Apollo (which was my exclusive portal to Reddit since it launched in 2017)
Just needs a bit more content every day and we're good tbh. Also I miss my video game subs like MonsterHunterMeta...
Idk if I’m going crazy but this feels exactly like reddit now. At first it was confusing but I don’t see any difference now?
Don't use the reply button and just directly use the comment box at the bottom of the page. You can think it as not directly replying but as commenting in a thread because technically OP does not post but creates a thread, does that make sense?
Kbin enhancement script got you covered.
Weird location for a comments box.
Yes, me too. I was so sad about Reddit. I'm just starting to explore the fediverse. It's very exciting. Change is good.
Agreed. I'm reminded of the Digg exodus from years ago which was when I joined reddit initially. Kind of sad how far it's fallen from the 2010/2011 days.
I wonder how all of this will be next year.
All in due time ;)
It feels like the comfort of a close community, like small subreddits. Fortunately for me that's exactly where I thrive.
Vague 2008 Reddit vibes (including the chaotic techie vibe and the weird nsfw but that's part of the charm).
Having porn randomly pop up was weirdly comforting. Just means we're still in the wild west phase and I love that.
I'm a desktop only kid of person, and so far the experience is really pretty fantastic. It feels like the fun internet of about 2012 or so.
Same. Hope it continues to grow.
It's nice to not be advertised to. It's nice to be on a (group of) platform(s) where connecting people is a goal rather than merely a side effect of a particular way of generating profit. I have trouble talking to people IRL, so Reddit was where I actually connected to people for the most part. Not at all healthy now that I'm writing it out, but it is what it is.
And I've seen a higher proportion of "essays" on here than on Reddit. Definitely starting to feel like home. I just hope that more Redditors agree.
I found an equivalent sub to the game I play here, that had since closed on Reddit. I was really pleasantly surprised. That makes it feel like home. Sure, not as much traffic there yet but it's all seemingly setup.
What was the game?
Based on his subscriptions, I'd assume guildwars2@kbin.social.
I'm still crazy new here, but why can't we browse comments by Top? I'm wondering if a choice was made not to allow that (the way that Mastodon made some choices not to support some Twitter features), or if it's hard because of federation or something. That's the only thing I'm still jarred by here.
Try asking in /m/kbinMeta - it’s a fair question. Maybe the dev just hasn’t implemented it yet
sadly, reddit needs to die asap. everyone pls leave and come over to lemmy or kbin or whatever.
also we need to bankrupt reddit and all owners like ohanian and spez for stealing OUR MONEY. We put in the effort to build reddit, not them. they are worse than that fbook idiot.
The answer is, and will be, "the software is very early beta, and the server launched only a month ago".
It's a good feature request, though. It belongs in the issue tracker.
I think it's mostly because kbin is incredibly new. Ernest didn't expect to have this amount of traffic on his hands. Things will catch up
I’m still getting used to it. Not that bad, a bit slower and I believe we still have no video support. Still, I don’t intend to go back to reddit. I’m trying Memmy and Mlem apps interchangeably and I’m pretty happy with it. I need to participate more though, not just being s lurker. Hopefully saving stuff, checking what you liked, etc will be available soon. For the time the app devs had on this, what we’re getting is amazing. This will be in much better shape than reddit very soon.
Completely noob here, is there an RSS feed in the magazines?
Hopefully this place stays fun, really a breath of fresh air to see an active community.
thanks for using Leebra!
go to feed...
It’s definitely capturing the old electricity. I like it a lot. Finding a good client for using on mobile definitely helps ease the transition, too
