If extra layer of "difficulty" is introduced by giving the users the choice of an instance is enough to keep them away, then I'm all for it.
It just needs to be easier for the ones that managed to figure it all out (better apps, stability, UI/UX, and QOL updates)
IMO the only algorithm I'll accept for lemmy/kbin is slightly faster "expiration" for posts, sometimes some posts stay too long on my frontpage.
I read an article comparing Reddit to a dying mall and honestly it's kinda getting that vibe since the protest
The migration is not gonna happen overnight, but it is happening.
More like it tried to forcibly merge the instances
SponsorBlock is such a godsend for (live) music videos as well, especially with Eurovision VODs will all those intros and endscreens
At this point they're just gerrymandering the pizza
Tbf you can see some kbin stuff from lemmy either through desktop or a mobile app, but Sync for Lemmy is planned to have kbin support too, but we'll see.
Left kbin for a few days till that cloudflare thing was sorted out. Glad it's all running smoothly now.
I guess now I get to feel what the pioneering Redditors felt after the digg migration, and it's exciting!
This is helpful, thanks!
(commenting so I can also bookmark it in a way, there is still no save feature)
also the ability to play wired if needed.
This, and you won't even need to worry about batteries, you can leave the battery tray empty.
Even in macOS the Xbox controller has its own icon, it worked well in my experience
I frequently lurk on r/worldbuilding and it is still pretty active, though I've yet to find a solid equivalent of that sub on kbin/lemmy
I can see this being helpful

I don't see any weird content, but I couldn't log in. There's a notification at the bottom that says "logged in" but I'm still blinded by light mode.
the poop situation
I remember that poop post on asklemmy, it's already achieved legendary status I think lol
The music really added to the experience. Control is a really great, original game. I'm excited for the sequel!
Just a heads up, I think you should remove the exclamation points in your links, it resulted in a 404 for me before I removed them.
HiFi Rush is such a unique banger both in terms of art direction and game design, shame it released so early in the year.
I hope it's not forgotten when awards season rolls around.
Right now I'm exploring this and lemmy.world, my worry is that kbin seems disconnected from the other lemmy instances, whether that's by design or not, I dunno.
I agree though, kbin has a FANTASTIC interface compared to most of the lemmy instances I've seen. If I had to pick one, I'd stick with kbin for now, but I hope this inspires good UI/UX development in lemmy where all the buzz is. The markdown implementation here is quite different from what I'm used to, but it's nice that it's there.
The only thing missing is a proper app. I haven't tried the PWA yet, but that in itself is promising.
you realize that some instances ARE problematic even if you have access to the entire federated content from it.
Personally I needed reassurance that an instance at least appears to be committed into fighting hate speech, especially as a gay guy
and Kbin presents a front that feels easier to grasp when you're not familiar with the concept of the Fediverse
As a similarly sorta-but-not-super-techie guy, I agree. Kbin nailed the presentation of the Fediverse by introducing a UI and experience that is remarkably similar to Reddit. For that reason alone I hope Kbin comes out as the most successful (or at least viable) alternative.
Thanks for the reassurance, but please take rests too! If there was a way to donate then please feel free to post it somewhere, I can see a lot of potential here.
My only concern is how kbin will connect to the rest of the lemmy instances, some of my favorite subreddits seem to have migrated to different instances, and I think it'll benefit everyone if there was a way to conveniently combine them.
Yeah, I don't see an option for installing it in any mobile browser I've tried on Android, and IMO a PWA on desktop seems a bit redundant
I think it's good practice to change passwords after an attack no matter what
