This is remarkable. Looks like #KBin instances already have more active monthly users than #Lemmy instances.

It's notable because Lemmy had been around for a while, while KBin is a relative newcomer to "federated threaded news discussion" space on fedi.

It's also great, since Lemmy has certain problematic tankie legacy (although there are plenty of instances that are absolutely not supportive of that stuff).

#Fediverse #Reddit

If you're considering leaving #Reddit, don't leave the content that you have created behind for Reddit to monetize on.

When you delete your account, all your posts and comments actually stay on the site with the username changed to "Deleted User".

Delete your posts and comments using the Reddit Power Delete Suite.

Tech Press don’t understand the #Fediverse, so how can they understand its growth?

To hear them talk, most of them believe that #Mastodon and the Fediverse are one and the the same. Some of them go so far as to call the Fediverse the “Mastodon network”.

Which means that they don’t have a clue about what the Fediverse entails, nor how it has grown.

Case in point: between Jan-May 2023, #Misskey and its forks grew by 300,000 accounts. No one in the Tech Press reported this.

Okay, perhaps they didn’t know because the bulk of growth happened in Japan. But still, this is fairly important to know since Misskey is now responsible for generating the bulk of Fediverse content. Even so, Tech Press think the Fediverse is about Mastodon.

And now, #Lemmy and #Kbin are experiencing lots of growth, with both collectively gaining 100,000 users in a week. This is quite a noteworthy event since the #RedditMigration is part and parcel of dissension on #Reddit – a pretty major Big Social platform.

Does the Tech Media report on this? Nope. But again, that’s because they don’t understand the Fediverse nor what it entails.

Then Meta signal that a new project they’re making, #P92 (a.k.a., #Barcelona), will be joining the Fediverse. There’s even screenshots that show this app interacting with remote Fediverse servers.

But instead of reporting about how this will affect the existing Fediverse, press such as the #BBC say this is an altogether different social network than Mastodon.

That’s right! Tech Press don’t even realize P92 will be joining the Fediverse – a social network that already exists!

Is this all ridiculous? Yes.

But this is why we have to be forthright about what the Fediverse is, what it entails, and why it all matters.

We, on the Fediverse, must be our own Press.

#SubredditMigration #RedditMigration

The moderator of /r/privacyguides recently set up a #Lemmy server, and now during the #Reddit blackout, he is inviting people to join it.

https://lemmy.one/post/74432

He also hosts https://mstdn.party

Give him a wave or buy him a coffee or something.

PS: The subreddit/lemmy group is pretty cool, too.

That's me deleted my #Reddit account along with all data as I do not agree with recent events that have been taking place. I'm going to concentrate on #Mastodon , #Lemmy and take a look at #Kbin .

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.

@skrlet13 gracias por el #contexto amigo, no pues no sabía qué había pasado, medio leí por ahí que hay quien propone no sólo borrar su cuenta, sino todos sus post #Reddit

This is amazing. #Reddit

Los usuarios de #Reddit van muy en serio contra su CEO: su huelga ya es una de las más grandes de la historia de #Internet

One of the best posts on #reddit about the #redditMigration and alternatives…

https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/14721v0/please_move_to_federated_and_opensource/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1

Well, the new site https://kbin.lol is live!

Be warned, it’s in super beta, like I haven’t had a chance to poke firmly and make sure it’s working.

Backed up server ✅
Login and signup process ✅
Emails are sent out ✅

That’s about it, not sure if it’s federated or if posting works. Be warned before signing up, something could break.

#kbin #Reddit #redditmigration #redditblackout

Estos días se habla mucho de alternativas a #Reddit por los cambios que están introduciendo para limitar las aplicaciones de terceros.

¿Sabíais que en el #Fediverso tenemos nuestras propias versiones de #Reddit?

- Por un lado tenemos a #Lemmy https://join-lemmy.org/, que lleva con nosotros bastante tiempo. En https://browse.feddit.de/ tenéis un estupendo directorio de comunidades.
- Por otro lado existe #kbin, otro agregador de enlaces con un toque más moderno, pero que aún está en beta https://kbin.pub

¿Y sabíais también que podéis interactuar con estas plataformas directamente desde vuestra cuenta de #Mastodon? ¡Voy a enseñaros como con un mini-tutorial! Dentro hilo ⬇️

Just joined #kbin. Hadn't heard about them until their subreddit got banned. :garfield: :fediverse:
#streisandeffect #reddit

https://kbin.social/

Apparently Reddit has now banned a subreddit dedicated to the Fediverse Reddit-alternative Kbin:

https://sakurajima.moe/@chikorita157/110517156242412322

If you're on a centralised platform like Reddit, this is what they can do. Centralised platforms have all-powerful leaders who can do whatever they want, and you have no alternatives if you disagree.

The point of the Fediverse being on lots of servers is that each server's power is limited. If you disagree with one server's actions, you can move.

#Fediverse #Reddit #Kbin

Mi problema con #Lemmy como reemplazo de #Reddit es que, a diferencia de Twitter, en Reddit sí importan los posts viejos.
En Twitter lo que importa es lo de ahora, lo de ya. Los posts viejos no importan demasiado. Mastodon sigue el mismo formato de microblogging, donde lo que importa es lo de hoy, lo de hace meses o años es irrelevante. Al punto que Mastodon te da herramientas para autoborrar las cosas viejas (que si no las estás usando, deberías). Entonces si desaparece una instancia de Mastodon no pasa nada, porque estábamos hablando de contenido que por su naturaleza era efímero en primer lugar. Un poco de reacomodo para la gente que tenía cuenta ahí, pero a largo plazo no es grave.
En Reddit eso es diferente. AskHistorians, por ejemplo, constantemente referencia posts viejos. Hay subs dedicados a "contar historias" sobre posts viejos y trackear updates (/r/BestOfRedditorUpdates). Hay posts con respuestas a preguntas interesantes sobre cómo hacer andar algo. Sí, mucho es muy del momento y al final está al pedo, pero mucho otro no. Entonces si Lemmy lo quiere reemplazar tenés que tener una cierta certeza de que la instancia que elegís no desaparece mañana, lo cual me parece que empeora el problema de centralización en una instancia que vemos en Mastodon (con .social) y en Lemmy (con lemmy.ml).
