   So, what's going on with all this #RedditMigration #Lemmy #kbin stuff?

   Short version. Reddit is a mess. Users are fleeing to the #Fediverse.

   There are two Fedi #Reddit alternatives you can join, Lemmy and kbin.

   kbin: https://fedia.io/register (also https://kbin.social/register but now slammed)
   Lemmy: https://infosec.pub/signup

   New migrants please be patient. This is a lot like Nov 2022. It will be choppy, but get sorted out. This is another golden opportunity to break down corporate social media.

     There is every reason to suspect that other established Mastodon instances will jump into the breach to help with #RedditMigration .

     We are going to see chaotic and exciting days ahead as the Fediverse once again adds capacity, new users build out content, and developers make rapid fire improvements to their applications. But this is what we do best.

     Be patient. You are part of the existential shift from corporate domination to people powered social media.

     We got this.

     Just learned about lemmy.world https://lemmy.world/signup, from the mastodon.world folks.

     Edit:
     -Do not know about resourcing, but @smorks lemmy.ca https://lemmy.ca/signup has been mentioned
     -You can also check out https://join-lemmy.org/ for more Lemmy instances

     If you know of any other open well resourced Lemmy or kbin instances please reply to this post, and will list them here.

     #Lemmy and #kbin are part of the Fediverse and you can see their content on Mastodon, but you currently get more functionality by creating a kbin or Lemmy account account:

     kbin: https://fedia.io/register (also https://kbin.social/register but now slammed)
     Lemmy: https://infosec.pub/signup

     Right now there are not many instances for either, but that does not mean the Fediverse can not handle a surge. Yesterday Mastodon's infosec.exchange spun up fedia.io (kbin) and infosec.pub (Lemmy) .
