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.
1/

#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) .

3/

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.

#RedditMigration

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.

Adam Dalliance @pre has a very good writeup of #Lemmy vs. #kbin and all that stuff.

Groups On Fediverse – Lemmy and KBin >>> https://dalliance.net/vPre2/lemmyvskbin

"Lemmy is all about the groups, whereas KBin also has more of the micro-blogging type functions. You can do a post that doesn’t go to any groups and just goes on your “microblog”, and you can view other user’s microblogs."

"Kbin calls it’s groups “Magazines” for some reason and Lemmy calls them 'Communities'."

Thanks Adam!

#Climate and #ClimateScience posts boosted on Climate Migration @ClimateMigration

Well, #Calckey is very cool! Just started playing around and wow... blown away 💥

What is Calckey? Think of joining a Mastodon server, but instead the UI is a really fun Twitter, and has lots of cool features. You see Mastodon posts and Mastodon users can see your posts. It's like using a different email client.

If you have five minutes, give it a try. You don't need to move your account or anything, just open up a new Calckey account and play around. Here's the link >>> https://calckey.org/

all of the turmoil at Twitter... led to his decision to create the Med-Mastodon server as a "replacement home" -- just in case.

The “prohibited platforms” list had some odd inclusions, and even odder exclusions: Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, Truth Social, Tribel, Post and Nostr. This is… desperate? Silly? But it also raised questions. Where was TikTok? Or YouTube? Or Gab? Or Parler?

High Activity

Some servers are lagging, but the network is fine, and most instances are still accepting new accounts. Please be patient as systems administrators manage the situation. It may get worse given the Twitter news.

[Musk's] new Twitter policies and the digital refugees he created, most fleeing to the heretofore obscure Twitter-like platform Mastodon, could give birth to a very new type of social media experience.

Mastodon uses an open and free social media protocol, ActivityPub...
