Reddit Migration

@RedditMigration does anyone know how to link a mastodon and KBin to each other? I've read this is a thing but it's still early days.

(Feel free to remove this as off-topic, but this relates to the post about the r/Piracy poll regarding what content will be permitted upon reopening. The body of this post wouldn't get the same reach as a comment on that post.)

Ahoy hearties! Here what I be thinkin'. Reddit be chargin' tens of millions of doubloons for third-mates to access the API, aye? They be claimin' to deserve a share of the booty for providin' trainin' data for AI (and obviously to kill competition with third-mate apps to boot).

Methinks if yee MUST chatter with those landlubbers (such as for the purpose of recruitin' new mates or cussing out mutinous scabs), then yee ought to make any text data yee provide unappealing and unusable to potential AI-training-customers.

Paintings of (Sexy) Captain John Oliver will only sully the attention of the human users. But (pirate) coded language mayhaps be an obstruction for bots? For those who find pirate speak to be too much effort, an alternative be to speak "sdrawkcaB".

I can no longer cast my bottled messages to Reddit's shore, so any of you seadogs are free to pass it along.

Can't believe it but they rolled back some of my posts as well.

I love internet-era folk horror, and would love a new place to read it... Is there anything like it in the Fediverse? I've found a lot of great authors through NoSleep. Even bought books from some of the creators.

Source: comment thread in r/interestingasfuck stating that it has not become a 'porn sub'. It only for nsfw because they also do malicious compliance.

I've been looking through the list of subs that are restricted and some of those I used to frequent. The mindset seems to have changed a bit. Maybe it's just this sub?

Edit: I mean, I should expect this. Oh well.

So uh I am old and easily confused—what does “rule” mean in a fediverse context and why is it in the titles of so many posts? Please take pity and explain it to this frail geriatric millennial. TIA

#RedditMigration

I mention the extension in particular because it is easy to set up use for those of us who don't want to dig through browser settings to set up a redirect rule

Targets mods, serial posters, or anyone who wants to crosspost something manually

1. Replace YOUR_MAGAZINE_HERE with the target magazine. Or leave blank to post to any magazine via dropdown
2. Navigate to old.**ddit.com
3. Use KBIN button to crosspost an article
4. Let kbin's API populate the title and body if applicable
5. ???
6. Profit

According to threadcount

222,397 Lemmy/kbin accounts
+23,441 in the last hour
71,331 monthly active users

Link is to view on Libreddit, an alternative private front-end to Reddit.

What a bunch of boners, truly.

Looking for something similar. Thanks!

Thousands of moderators overseeing the site’s subreddits are on strike. It’s a wrinkle in Reddit’s plan to go public, and a sign that plan is premature, columnist Anita Ramaswamy writes.

Hello Fediverse!

This is my first post. I have a question regarding some functions that would be equivalent to those found on reddit.

What does the following message mean:

The magazine from the federated server may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

When will this be complete? Do I need a separate account for Lemmy to be able to post on there?
If not when am I going to be able to use 1 account/ my kbin account to post on lemmy as well? Is this an incomplete feature for now?

Also I wanted to post in the "RedditMigration" "subreddit". Is my post here or is it somewhere else?

Probably stupid questions by I appreciate any help!

#RedditMigration

kbin.social was the first thing on the recommended list.

Beyond differing official subs for warframe and deep rock galactic? Most of my time on Reddit was spent on r/hfy or r/writingprompts.

Are there any substitutes here?

As more and more articles and interviews come out about spez and how he's inspired by how Musk running Twitter, I genuinely can't believe he's this stupid. Anyone else think that we could see a repeat of what happened with Ellen Pao when all the gate subreddits were banned? All of these quotes from Spez are coming out, and the hate over the changes is directed at him, and blamed on him almost more than on all the admins, or the board. "Fuck spez" has become the slogan for opposing the changes at this point.

I won't be surprised if the board removes him at the 11th hour, and reduces the api costs to a level that the biggest apps (Apollo, RIF) will be able to keep operating, but may not allow for new apps to compete.

Anyone else think we could see it blow over like this?

Lost reddit migrator here, how do I subscribe to a lemmy community from my kbin social account using the kbin webapp? Or am I not understanding what federation means?

I tried Jebora for Lemmy app and see communities I want to subscribe to, but if I search for them here I cannot find them.

"He added that he plans to make changes to moderator policies so users can vote them out. Currently, a higher-ranking moderator — or the company — can boot out moderators. Incidentally, a r/Apple moderator posted on Twitter (via 9to5Mac) that Reddit was threatening to remove moderators who are staging an indefinite blackout."

I thought about it and it'll be helpful a thread going of folks who made a request, and when they got their data. To help give other folks an idea of when they might here back, if they put a request in now.

I put my request in the day before the blackout. Still waiting to hear back from Reddit.

Edit: Just FYI I ended up deleting my account before hearing back on this. If I ever do hear back I will update on here, but at this point I'm seriously doubting that will happen.

Can anyone explain how banning works in fedeverse? Say, I have account here on kbin.social and get permabaned, does it mean that I can not login at all? Or just that I can not post threads and microblogs on kbin.social? Can account still be transferred to another kbin instance? Can banned kbin account be transferred to lemmy? Same questions about if I have lemmy.ml account - I can't post anywhere if I get permabaned? Also, what if I have lemmy.ml account but got permabanded on kbin.social? Any impact on my ability to post at other kbin servers?

I don't really care if the lurkers stay on reddit, but I'd like for the creators to transition here and I'd like for this to be the place where you find the good information.

Rather than berate people who stay, I'm offering carrots / breadcrumbs. In the communities I was active, I'm still monitoring what's being posted. Instead of posting new content or answers I'm composing content (with a paraphrased question where appropriate) here on the fediverse and simply providing a link to my response in the reddit thread.

Will reddit start blocking the fediverse? Maybe. Will my posts be downvoted or banned? Maybe. Do I care? Only in that it reduces the visibility of good content. And maybe that's enough to drive people to look in places other than reddit anyway.

I believe this is a long-view approach to migrating away from reddit, and helping others do the same. Reddit will not collapse overnight (as entertaining as that would be), but rather will be a long, slow tapering as the Next Thing^TM^ takes hold. And I'm hoping that this is that next thing that is less likely susceptible to corruption.

Basically the title.
