Since a bunch of redditors are migrating over I thought I'd share the kbinStyles magazine:
https://kbin.social/m/kbinStyles

I was a big fan of RES so there's a couple nice scripts that you can find here. Personally I'm using:
-collapsible comments from @artillect
-subscription panel from @Perry

So I want to edit all my posts and comments before the API changes drop but power delete suite doesn't get all comments and forgets a lot, maybe 50%? I have unchecked all boxes about filtering out subs or gilded comments and stuff.

Here's the message I want to leave behind, in case anyone is interested:

I had a reddit and I want it painted black
No comments anymore, I want them to turn to black
I see the subs scroll by forced open by the corp
I have to turn my head until my reddit goes

I have a Mastadon, AND a Kbin now. I'm trying to sign up for different Federated services and link 'em all together. I'm loving this new protocol so much. It's quiet...

It feels similar to the early 2000's internet and I'm loving it.

Screen-readable meme content, meme showing argument with steve huffman reddit ceo u/spez. Spez: Look what you are doing to our reddit communities. Response: These are protests from YOUR BAD ACTIONS. Spez: The community doesn't want these protests, it's just rogue mods. Response: Screenshot of r/mildlyinteresting community vote to continue protests. Spez: It's still not Ok to show people nsfw when they don't want to see it. Response: Screenshots of reddit features to disable or blur NSFW content, and 18+ limits on user accounts accessing nsfw. Spez: You need me! You will com crawling back just wait. Response: Graphs showing the recent explosive growth of Fediverse in Lemmy and kbin.

as much as I want to move this over to mastodon, there isn't really visibility on twitter as-is, but I'm open to the idea!

A better RSS experience

I've been playing around with RSS views of the fediverse hoping to get something comparable to multireddits, but there is a problem.

First of all, it is possible to get reddit feeds on both kbin and lemmy. The URLs look like:

https://KBIN_INSTANCE/rss?magazine=MAGAZINE_NAME
https://LEMMY_INSTANCE/feeds/c/COMMUNITY_NAME?sort=new

Unfortunately, these are problematic when dealing with instances that are not your home instance. Any links to the post page will be absolute remote instance URLs, which means you cannot interact with the post (e.g. leave a comment). The URL really needs to be made relative to your home instance for that to work, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to fix that for a specific post. I can only fix the URL to the magazine/community itself and then hope to locate the post within it again.

If there is a way to get home instance-relative RSS feeds, I'm all ears! Failing that, I might work on a scraper that can take URLs of the form:

https://KBIN_INSTANCE/m/MAGAZINE_NAME@REMOTE_INSTANCE
https://LEMMY_INSTANCE/c/COMMUNITY_NAME@REMOTE_INSTANCE

and generate RSS feeds out of them? But I don't want to reinvent the wheel if something like this is already possible?

It might also be useful to someone trying to write an app with a multireddit-type feature? I will definitely release source if I come up with anything.

EDIT: fixed a typo in URLs

Reddit Admin finally have work to do.

Infinity going subscription-only!

Infinity Announcement

This morning when I opened Infinity to check Reddit, I saw the announcement above: they're going subscription-only. Ironically enough, I couldn't scroll down to see the rest of the message including prices, if there were any. I also couldn't see if there was a button to close the message or start a paid subscription. I couldn't proceed to Reddit at all. My only option was to close the app completely. So I uninstalled it.

That's it for me using Reddit on mobile! Can't say I'll miss it much. But I added a LOT of content to Reddit that way, so it's their loss. Fuck you, spez!

Google Sheet traking Lemmy & Kbin mobile clients. Anyone w/ the link can edit.

Just noticed that Urban Dictionary now has 17 definitions for spez.

In case you're feeling literary today, you can submit user generated definitions by pressing the + button on the top right of the site. Here's a direct link to the submission form.

I run a decent sized sub. I've noticed the last few days that all my sticky posts that say where else you can find us are getting mass reported. I usually have like 6 reports a week. I'm getting a report on every post made that gets the sticky all of a sudden. I just took the word "Lemmy" out and we'll see if that changes. Anyone else noticing something similar if you still have an account?

If you are usually a reddit lurker and are on here, it would be cool if you can try and engage with communities for a bit, just to try and get the ball rolling :)

With all the talk about posts being lost due to people deleting comments, posts, and subs going private or generally protesting, I wondered if people have an appetite for doing some work to move key bits of reddit history over to kbin/Lemmy for posterity?

Got suspended for criticising spez. So now I'm spending my time here and have already setup communities for !pathfinder2e@lemmy.world and !talesfromretail@lemmy.world. Good riddance to Reddit.

Well looks like Germans did their thing on Lemmy, old habits die hard /s

Good on them for migrating here, Honestly miss my country communities, but I am sure they will eventually migrate here, reddit admins are hard at work to make that happen.

Personally I'm waiting for the 30th. I have a dream of crashing their servers with account deletion requests

I haven’t seen this one publicized on the fediverse yet. It will be interesting to see how this one plays out, assuming the mods get enough time to find their own replacements.

When /u/Poem_for_your_sprog drops his first Lemmy/Kbin poem, we'll know it's all over but the cryin' for Reddit.
