Beehaw is dope, think it has some real potential
Like many of you, I was looking for Reddit alternative and have settled here and on Squabbles.io. Still not 100% on how the Fediverse and Kbin work, but I'm learning.
Beehaw is tapping into that text side of social media. Something I haven't seen much talked about is sometimes I don't want to see only pictures or video like Instagram and tiktok. Reddit facilitated conversation primarily through the comments and that's something I see replicated here and that's a great thing, think it will give it long term legs!

You should be aware that Beehaw has just defederated from some of the bigger Lemmy servers. You’ll be missing out on a lot of content if your account is based there. I’ll see if I can find a post about the details for you.
Temporarily, until the Rexxit flood eases off and better moderation tools are developed.
No worries. Don’t pay too much attention to the apoplectic posts from people who’ve been in the Fediverse for a couple days and don’t understand how it works yet. Federating and defederating while wrinkles are worked out is just part of the whole shebang, and has been going on for years here.
Ahh ok. None of them defederated from Lemmy.ca so I’m cool.
Are you trying to avoid some kind of account-flagging or something?
No. It’s a pun on “Brexit” that is getting used a lot.
“Brexit” was a silly term being used when the UK was debating leaving the EU. Britain + Exit = Brexit
Actually just one bigger and one medium size if your talking recent actions. Not a huge deal at least for me. It actually would be interesting to know the full list.
Beehaw.org/instances
Wow! That is great. Thanks.
Ah ok. Apparently it’s also only a temporary thing. I’m still learning how all this works; I’m not a good primary source
Which servers did we defederate from?
Beehaw.org/instances gives you the full list. Bear in mind Beehaw is a couple years old. Experience builds up.
The current defed of Lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works is temporary, due to mod tools being inadequate to handle the Reddit overload. The admins of the three instances are on good terms, no-one is pissed at anyone else, they are all struggling to bring everything up to speed.
Newbies are freaking out, and posting wild tales of apocalyptic woe…
Ohhhh jees I said I’d come back with a link with more info, but then got stoned and played video games instead. I can’t find one now. Shit just works and Lemmy world I think?
