Good morning! :) Today I want to focus mainly on reviewing the pull requests you've submitted. There are many great things there that will help improve the kbin experience. That's amazing, thank you! I'm also in the final stages of sorting out the infrastructure-related formalities. Soon, the situation with the website's...

It looks like kbin.social is in the final stages of migrating their site, and merging a whole bunch of improvements. Having their ~5k users federating with us again will be nice

    kbin seems rather promising.

    Haven’t really played around with it much since the federation part wasn’t working. Anyone been using it more and care to chime in with their experiences compared to Lemmy?

        They’re called toots in Mastodon and yeah, I’m not really a fan either. Which is why I’m on the Lemmy side.

        I also use Mastodon, but it’s just a very different format to posts on Lemmy.

      The only reason federation wasn’t working was because they had to turn on CloudFlare protection just to keep the site from crashing. That interfered with federation. Assuming they’re able to upgrade enough to handle the traffic, they’ll federate as easily as lemmy does.

    I’m considering migrating when that happens, as then I have no need for Mastodon, I can just have everything on one site…

    So KBin isn’t Lemmy? But it federated with Lemmy? Also, I see Mastodon federated with Lemmy, but what’s the point of that?

      It’s just another UI basically. I like Kbin a lot more than Lemmy aesthetically and it was easier to get used coming directly from Reddit. Also early on there was only one instance (there’s like 3-5 now? I’m on Kbin.run) so it was a lot easier for people who didn’t understand how it works to use.

      Mastodon users who want to stay on mastodon can subscribe to communities on lemmy and see each post as a tweet in mastodon
