Same. It got me to oficially jump over to Lemmy. Reddits been veering downhill and always wanted an alternative. Kind of glad all this got more people to Lemmy etc.
I landed on lemmy first, then I found out about kbin over there. I'm glad for the Fediverse because I don't have to lose the ability to continue to participate in the community and not be tied to one website. Now, if they could figure a way to import the subscribed list from my old account, that would be icing on the cake.
Yeah but if we don't see a community/magazine we want (that exists on reddit), do we take it upon ourselves to start it or do we wait for the mods of the reddit sub to create it?
I’m new too but I thought I read boost is like a retweet
Same here! Just so I understand, it doesn't matter if you choose kbin or Lemmy, the content is the same? What about Mastadon? Is that also combined into this same network?
They all implement ActivityPub which is just the protocol used to move everyone's posts and such around to any other server that's supposed to receive it. So yeah, you can use Mastodon to follow Lemmy or kbin magazines. You can also do the opposite where you follow Mastodon users from Lemmy/kbin. As long as the blog uses ActivityPub federation, you can ingest that content in to whatever other compatible service you want.
I will say things get a little weird if you follow on a service that presents that information in a drastically different way, but it is doable.
I'm still trying to figure that one out lol
Also, what's boost?
I’m with you. We need to publicize, though. It would be helpful if there was a concerted effort around a transitional choice. Even better if subreddit admins replicate communities and content over here. Also, I kept my Reddit username - wonder how many others did the same?
thanks for using Leebra!
go to feed...
This got me to check out Reddit alternatives... Landed on kbin.. so here we go?
