I recently found pickled radishes at a farmer’s market. So good!

I think part of the issue is that all the different Lemmy and kbin instances are trying to be Reddit themselves. By which I mean there are a bunch of instances with no focus. They’re all “kitchen sink” instances, each with their own Politics, Tech, Cats, etc.
Lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, kbin.social, fedia.io. All of them are generic reddit alternatives, but the real reddit alternative is the amalgamation of subscriptions from multiple more focused instances.
Startrek.website is a great example of the opposite: it’s an instance focused on one topic, where some people will want to sign up as a user and others will want to just subscribe to one of their three (!) boards from their own instance. They don’t need their own Politics topic, users on the site that care about it will subscribe to a politics topic from another instance. The startrek admins and mods only have to care about their one focus.
My ideal fediverse feed would be pulling individual topics from a few dozen more focused instances instead of one generalist instance. I think that’s what’s going to end up happening.
Comment whenever you want, but based on Reddit I wouldn’t expect a reply after a thread is more than ~2 days old. That may end up being different here.
Yes, there’s a few of them. fedia.io, for one. But kbin.social is probably the most active one at the moment.
Yeah, I’m viewing and responding to this from kbin.social right now
I see that in both the original post and now this update that the focus has been on improving tooling for Lemmy specifically. I’m worried that kbin isn’t having the same focus on moderation tools. Anyone have some insight into kbin’s roadmap?
Don’t worry too much about it. There’s still going to be people using Reddit. You’re never going to convince everybody about everything. My parents still use Facebook.
Canada has a huge Ukrainian population, we’re staunch allies with the US (who is firmly on Ukraine’s side now that the Manchurian Candidate is out of office), and Russia is obviously the aggressor in this war. Of course we’re going to side with Ukraine.
Russia’s only hope was to convince the world that apathy was easier than getting involved. But they did a shit job of it
I’ve made this 3 times and every time I can’t get the sauce to emulsify. I’ve heard asking extra starch can help.
