That is so exciting, all of us playing together in here is such a cool concept.

According to the screenshots in the sticky on r/music, they have created a new Admin account under an anonymous name and are messaging mod teams telling them to get back to work. And they removed mod permissions from a mod there (but they’ve been restored now).
That’s why a lot of subs are continuing the protest in other ways. r/pics, r/gifs, r/art have all had polls with the subs and are now currently John Oliver only subs, r/aww is probably about to follow them. r/steam now posts literal steam and steam engines, r/wellthatsucks is posting vacuum cleaners, others like r/interestingasfuck as said they are changing rules to be pretty much anything anyone wants to post as long as the poster thinks it’s interesting as fuck, iOS is similar, they’re removing all rules and anyone can post anything as long as it has something to do with iOS, etc.
I can appreciate the chaos this is devolving into.
I think since lemmy.world is so stable and didn’t have (many) issues when the signup spikes were happening a lot of former Redditors ended up here. lemmy.ml is run by the developers.
Because of the way it all works, and because we can interact with everything we’re federated with, we’re pretty free to choose the best instance for us or even create our own if we wanted to.
For me personally, either one, we all play in the same sandbox (for the most part).
But this particular magazine is on kbin so of course OP is interested in building up kbin.
There are a couple Reddit centric communities out there, and since this community is supposed to be more about the lemmy.world instance in particular Reddit doesn’t really fit. I think that’s what they’re trying to do.
There’s https://lemmy.ml/c/reddit and https://lemmy.ml/c/snoocalypse and https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration and a good handful of others where those kinds of posts would probably be more appropriate.
On Mobile so I have limited ability to do a mass update of the database as listed, but -
!kidsbeingderps@lemmy.world is inspired by r/kidsarefuckingstupid
!asklemmy@lemmy.world and !asklemmy@lemmy.ml are intended to be similar to Ask Reddit
!mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world - r/mildlyinfuriating
!nostupidquestions@lemmy.world - r/nostupidquestions
!youshouldknow@lemmy.world - r/youshouldknow
!me_irl@lemmy.ml - r/me_irl
!showerthoughts@lemmy.world - r/showerthoughts
!maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world - r/maliciouscompliance

There are a ton more, without a doubt.
I feel mildly bad for the parent who has to explain some depraved sexual act because the unmoderated subreddits get inundated with unmarked porn.
Yeah, it’s a new instance and a lot of new people coming in from Reddit so it’s slipping threw the cracks. Just because the whole instance is NSFW doesn’t mean all of the communities are correctly being marked. It’s probably user error more than anything else.
I personally don’t really care, but I do have NSFW blocked in case I’m scrolling in public and I have been surprised by dicks a few times.
Hi, I’m replying from Lemmy.
It could be the communities (magazines) I’m in, but I haven’t seen anything acting that way (with the exception of some instance overloads that caused federation issues during the first wave of Rexxit earlier this week).
I can’t say if maybe there are some issues in certain communities where that’s happening.
If they start inserting ads in videos I’m watching even though I literally pay them not to, I’ll be more than just mildly infuriated.
You do have to create another account if you want to move to a new instance, yeah.
Oh, and, there’s an entire Lemmy NSFW instance if that’s your thing. lemmynsfw.com
I have 2 with the idea that if my home instance went down I’d still be able to see what’s going on. Not that I’m concerned about a mass failure, more for like server maintenance downtimes.
According to the comments of that thread, they’ve removed the moderator team for r/interestingasfuck and r/tihi too.
Looks like they’re going after the ones that went NSFW but I don’t want to spend enough time trying to find all the rest of them.
ROFL it looks funky on my current phone but you know what, it’s better than what Reddit turned it into.
I live out in a (relatively speaking) smaller city in Texas. We don’t have public transportation here.
Also, I like to be able to do things on my own schedule. A long time ago I lived in a city with a bus presence and had to take the bus when my car broke down and it took several hours longer round trip than I would have been able to do what I needed to do in my car.
Most of if not the whole mod team of r/askmen is leaving, they didn’t get forcibly removed but they’re done with the bullshit so they’re quitting.
I wonder if Reddit knows it’s doing some serious and potentially irrevocable damage to itself.
I was using Apollo and saw several polls. It forced an opened page in new Reddit to access the poll but it was an isolated post and not cluttered or hard to deal with or anything.
I voted to close a lot of subs before Monday. The subs I voted in are mostly still closed, too, so either they are using that as proof it was community voice or they aren’t big enough subs for the admins to force a reopening.
Without a doubt. It’s a cesspool over there right now but at least those communities were marked NSFW and the subs were polled to verify that was the direction they wanted the sub to go (because ‘democracy’ and ‘mods are landed gentry’ and so forth)
They have archived those subreddits for the time being. I found this:
There are some funky federation issues right now, the servers are straining a little bit under the load spike. I can see your post.
https://lemmy.world/c/therewasanattempt would probably appreciate this and it’s so new there’s nothing there yet.
Oh I am sure they’re going to end up putting back a large number of subs. It’s going to happen. The place will fill up with trash if there aren’t good dedicated mods taking care of things but I’m sure the admins are going to force the major subs to reopen.
Maybe mods will keep more subreddits down indefinitely then.
I wish there was a way to separate NSFW a little more - I don’t mind NSFW stories and adult language and so forth when scrolling but if I’m in public I don’t want to scroll All and see porn. I have no problem with porn, but to me there’s a time and place.
When I have NSFW disabled, I’m losing entire communities that I read the stories from because sometimes the content does 100% need the warning flag that it might not be for general audiences, but I don’t mind seeing an R rated movie in public while I won’t go see an NC-17 movie or an X rated movie in a theatre, personally, if that makes sense.
“All” picks up any communities your instance knows about, whether you personally are subscribed or not. My understanding is that once one person from your instance subscribes to something it starts federating, but unless someone does that it stays separate.
While I agree being able to search for communities needs a little help if it’s a brand new community outside of your home instance to make it less confusing, it makes sense from the standpoint of having to tell the community to talk to an external instance by having someone from the external instance subscribe.
Since Lemmy and Kbin are federating now, maybe you’ll find something in line with what you’re looking for, like maybe https://lemmy.world/c/motorcycles would work for you. :)
Edit: As per notation, !motorcycles@lemmy.world or @motorcycles@lemmy.world should be better formatting.
Sorry, I’m very new to Lemmy and I was also posting from a mobile app so I just pulled the community. I’m not fully versed on the difference between how kbin communities name their short name versus Lemmy and I was pretty sure the ! didn’t work but I didn’t know it was @
I’ll store that away for the next time.
The admin of this instance also is the admin of mastodon.world and the code of conduct (applies to all of ruud’s stuff) can be found here:
Any person who is a user of this instance or participates in any community hosted on this instance is bound by those rules.
If you don’t like the rules, you are absolutely welcome to find an instance that you would prefer but remember, if you still choose to visit any community here, you gotta pay attention to the rules. If you don’t like that moderators can and will moderate, you might want to find some other place to hang out.
I think kbin does @ instead of ! - sorry about that!
Edit: I fixed them to be links instead, hopefully that’ll help.
Cisgender means the person has a gender identity that matches the sex they were assigned at birth.
If you are a man and you were assigned male at birth, you are cis.
If you are a man and you were assigned female at birth, you are trans.
Non-binary can mean anything from not having a strong specifically male or female identity to closer to switching identities (bi-gender falls closer into this) to just having a lot of serious fluidity, but typically speaking at least part of the time the identity doesn’t match the assigned sex at birth.
Got it downloaded. Looks great. I see there’s going to be an update to be able to scroll my subscribed feed instead of all, looking forward to it.
!shittyfoodporn@lemmy.ca is one I saw pop up recently.
!gifrecipes@lemmy.world also.
Not logged in, front page of Hot on old.reddit, #19 is one from r/pics when I peeked.
Edit: also lol on some of the subs in hot right now that I guarantee I’ve never seen there before.
We did it, Reddit!
Oh wait.
Magazines (kbin) and Communities (Lemmy) are the naming conventions for the group type of posts offered - like subreddits. Magazines and Communities are effectively the same thing, just different naming conventions from their different backbone software running on the instance.
Instances are the full server in which the communities and users are held. Like sh.itjust.works is an instance - it’s the page where you can log into in order to then interact with anything both housed within your instance as well as the greater fediverse (barring any defederated instances, as you mentioned).
Have them go to search, make sure everything is searching all, and have them put https://kbin.social/m/LucidDreaming as the search query.
There’s a solid chance they won’t be able to see anything posted prior to when they subscribe, but at least that will make the community federate with that person’s Lemmy instance.
Sure thing, once it’s up I’ll def get a lot of play from me. I’m not too fond of the Safari experience and really dig the Apollo esque look.
Premium’s been a thing for a long time, it used to be Reddit Gold several years ago. It also used to be cheaper, $3.99/mo but it went up multiple years ago.
They might be pushing it hard right now, though. Not sure. Maybe they’re trying to entice the people who were paying for 3PA features to pay Reddit instead or something.
I currently have premium, ad free is the only way Reddit is palatable even before all this went down and I bought it ages ago when I wanted to support a thing I used every day and also have had a couple awards that extended it, it expires in August. I won’t be renewing.
