The Migration seems to be going well! 125k on kbin.social instance alone, and over 100k across Lemmy!

Feels like being part of internet history. I wonder how many of us have accounts on both :D.

EDIT - turns out I was wrong - here's a better way of seeing the stats for the "Threadiverse":

https://fedidb.org/current-events/threadiverse - we're up to 169,312 users now!

Nice, i just wonder how many people have 2-3 accounts to test out different communities

That's pretty impressive, I have two accounts but think I've settled on kbin

I personally have accounts on both.

Me too, but I find myself clicking over here more often

I really like kbin, but one of the communities I like on Lemmy isn't reachable from here yet.

So I'll use two accounts for now, it's not that bad really.

But to be fair, the CloudFlare DDoS protection needs to be dropped so kbin.social, where most users and content are, is able to federate properly. This is a huge obstacle, especially when some are complaining that we need to register on other instances and not crash this one (e.g. fedia.io). Fedia has pretty much no content.

I just wish kbin.social was installable as a PWA on my phone like Fedia is (Pixel 6 Pro)

@BiggestBulb

From what I can tell, Kbin recently got PWA support and some people have already installed it. But with the Cloudflare setup alongside federation this too broke, and now the manifest does not work correctly.

Waiting out a few weeks before badgering anyone about it myself 🌝

Edit: the PWA is working again!

Next stop: collapsible comments, and the app to find system screen orientation support 🙏

Interesting. On IPhone you can, so it's weird that you can't on Pixel.

I doubt it's a PWA. A PWA is still active even when you aren't using it. Allows for notifications and picking up where you left off. What you probably have is a web link on your home page, which can be done in Android as well.

Confirmed. On my Android (Samsung) it's just a link. When I did it on an iPhone (iPhone 6 in fact), it was a proper PWA. Not sure why it works as a PWA only on iPhone but not on Android.

I tried to run Lighthouse through Chrome dev tools on kbin.social but it seems like CloudFlare is throwing that off.
Lighthouse reports that fedia.io isn't PWA compliant due to a single issue in the manifest file (probably forgot to update a url from kbin to fedia or something trivial like that).

Edit: and a day later, with CloudFlare off, I get the install option and the true PWA.
