Too bad Kbin didn't last, so your postcount isn't quite accurate.
RIP. A lot of the best material I've reposted/been reposting though.
RIP kbin
Ernest was a real one
I'm OOTL, what happened to Kbin?
Kbin was a project from a solo developer who also ran the main instance but had his real life (health issues, IIRC) demand all his time in the past few months. He had to abandon the project and the instance. Since it was open source it got forked and is continuing under the new Mbin project.
This is one of the crazy parts of the Fediverse that I don't understand yet.
I am aware of Kbin and was under the impression that it was very popular. I haven't been there but how would I know when an instance disappears or where would I be able to find out where it's been picked up later on?
The email analogy kinda works here.
Imagine an email server dies forever. All of the email that it sent is still out there. If you are on another server, any emaills to/from people on that server are stil in your local email storage.
Likewise, a post that was made to kbin.social is still out there, if someone outside of that server was subscribed to that kbin.social community ("magazine") when the post was made.
To find out the "new" server... well in an ideal world the old server would at least have a notice to that effect. But this case involved a medical emergency, so that didn't happen.

Now look at: https://lemm.ee/c/13thFloor@kbin.social This is the copy of the same community, but made for the lemm.ee instance. You'll note that it is missing a post that was made on July 6th. That's because the July 6th post was made by a user on lemmy.world. Because kbin.social was down by then, the post didn't "federate" from lemmy.world through kbin.social to lemm.ee.
See https://lemmy.world/c/synthwave@waveform.social for another example. waveform.social was an instance that died, but people were still posting to the lemmy.world copy, but only lemmy.world people were able to see those posts because they were not federating. So in comments we just decided to make any new posts to another community on a "living" instance, and we put a notice to that effect.

Interesting, the Lemmy World 13th floor link takes me to K-Bin because I'm using the Voyager app. Normally, it's nice that the app handles those links this way, but it seems, in the case of instances which have died, where commenters want to link and show people new posts that have been happening, the Voyager feature is actually a shortcoming.
Somehow I fell into the routine, motivated by wanting to see communities grow on lemmy, and I've just kept going.
You'd be surprised how quick I am at it now. The actual posting probably only takes 5-10min per day, and then whenever I have time to check my phone, I'll catch up on my inbox.
The actual posting probably only takes 5-10min per day
I want to learn that power.
I mostly post from my phone, using the Voyager app. You can star a handful of communities as favorites and keep them at the top of your list, so it doesn't take a lot of scrolling to find the right one.
Do that a few thousand times over the past year or so, and you get pretty fast at it!
Thanks for sharing technique.
You're the George Washington of the fediverse.
Or its Karl Marx, considering it's the fediverse.
But what goldmine do you use to find content?
God, all over. You name it, and I've probably found content there. Random stuff from my Google recommendations, topic searches, reddit (rarely), Twitter/X, Tumblr, imgur, memes my wife sends me, YouTube (some people actually post memes there), etc.
Pretty much anytime I see something that makes me laugh or I think Lemmy would enjoy, I add it to my (now massive) vault of memes and images.
And if I'm feeling inspired (or bored), I'll sometimes make my own.
Also props to you for making such silly maps! Honored to have you as a fellow mod of !cartographyanarchy@lemm.ee !

That's the spirit of the pre-2010s internet for you, the energy that made the sites we have today in the first place.
Or FlyingSquid
Yeah Jesus Christ they are terminally online
When I first joined lemmy I thought they were bots
I used to think they were bots. I still do, but I used to, too.
Are you a spice dealer Mr. PumpkinEscobar?
I used to think they were communities related to star wars or something.
we are all the picard maneuver on this blessed day
Today is kind of a not very blessed day at least in America
OOTL. What happened to make today particularly shitty?
Columbus Day
It's America
We are all American on this blessed day

I too quit my job to post on Lemmy. In retrospect it was a poor life choice.
I've almost quit Lemmy because I got a job. I hate my life more than ever.
Congratulations, Iβm sorry for you!
Fry, is that you?
Quit my job to post on Lemmy? I didnβt even know that was an option.
You'd need to have a job first
Yeah....how do I get in on that action?
Step 1. Quit job
Step 2. Business as usual
Step 3. Starve
It's easier when you didn't have a job when you joined and you still don't.
Originally due to illness, but at this point also by choice since a parent is required to be at home in order to help my daughter stay on track with her online (public) school work.
Still got waaaay too much time with nothing to do.
Thank you for your service.
Yeah, I usually comment while in a waiting room for an appointment. Like right now. It's easy to scroll while passing time.
Everyone knows that there is know known defence against The_Picard_Manoeuvre
Well then slap her into warp 10 and eject all the cargo to save weight.
Sorry to fuck a joke up by being a nerd, but I don't think weight (mass) matters much in a ship that could travel warp 10. The ship wouldn't have enough momentum to matter all that much.
All you did was give your cargo to someone else, I think. I mean, I'll take it if you think it would help.
Something something turn into salamanders with the captain and shag.
but I donβt think weight (mass) matters much in a ship that could travel warp 10.
I'm sure the ship floating through space also plays a factor
Not much. It's the space around the ship that moves, not the ship itself.
Oh shit. Suck on that, nerd!
May I ask about your profile branding?
because The_Picard_Maneuver can be in two places at one time.
Every time I go to the bathroom, I make a comment.
I think I might have kidney disease.
Or a bladder problem.
Maybe get your prostate checked too
So now every time you want to make a comment you get the urge to go to the bathroom?
Pavlov and his dog want a word
The trick is to get to a job that runs itself or doesn't care if your in or not.

I feel like I'm good friends with The Picard Maneuver, Flying Squid, and Kolanaki, just because they're in all the same threads I am.
I don't even consciously interact with specific people on Lemmy, but sometimes I just happen to be paying attention to the usernames and I do the Leo pointing meme like "Hey, I recognize that guy!"
One of the things I love about the fediverse is it's not too busy for me to recognize usernames. Feels like an old phpBB board.
That's so far my favorite part of the community. I pretty much exclusively browse the "everything across all instances" thing and a handful of names have become really recognizable over the last few weeks.
Fuck kolanaki and their annoying ass name. Blocked them long time sgo because of it
Sheesh, dude. Why hate a person that much over their name being displayed differently?
anything longer than "brb" and their terminal can't display it correctly
Also this
Those big blue letters are revolting. It's like getting blasted with a pop up ad in an otherwise clean UI
You're missing out on seeing them getting roasted for saying tater tots are bad. π€·
I love how this post has been up for six hours, nobody has tagged them, and they haven't found it on their own yet.
Yβall are posting?!
lots of people work online so its possible to feed this place while feeding the company
Feed the chicken, Hayley
I don't know who is The_Picard_Maneuver and at this point I'm afraid to ask
Not who... what
Hi
Nice to meet you bro \0
I am pretty sure some people think that it is a community name
I did, yes. This morning I realized itβs a person from this thread.
I was guilty of that for a hot minute before getting used to the UI.
What can ya say, it's an effective maneuver.
I just remembered MrBabyMan. Turns out he's still an animation editor for Disney stuff, if anyone is curious. Wonder how he feels about social media in general now.
I know on what side of the Tuvix debate you're on.
how could you tell?
I can't, I was bluffing. I got nothing on you. *runs away*
Data scrapper?
lol
Hey, it's honest work.
The datascrapers must be fed.
Who?
are you new to lemmy?
You joined yesterday.
this is my alt, my real acc is a bit older ;)
What am I reading? π€¨
They quit their job, started posting a bunch. Yet they still can't post as much as another user on Lemmy.
ngl I blocked them because I got sick of seeing stale memes reposted with vaguely related titles. I thought they were a repost bot but that might be going too far
Damn. That's like 90% of Lemmy just... gone.
Fr, he been here 3 weeks and already got tired of it. Damn that's...something.
quality over quantity my friend
I just went to your instance to help guess if you might be okay with a slightly inappropriate comment as a reply in a different comment chain (because you're not a fox, lol).
RIP Yiffit. Any decision which instance you're moving to yet?
Pawb is seemingly federated with most chill instances and has open reg if you want a furry home server
Trying to register there but I never got the verification email or a reply from anyone about doing it manually. :/

Forked to Mbin.
Pretty sure this is what my issue is. Hyper focus on work for an hour or two at a time; 10-15 mins of memes. Rinse repeat
But that actually sounds perfect?
Just send you a prayer of help, you received it?? <3 But keep the posts coming!
I hope stamets is ok
