Second this, while user feedback is important and it’s great to see such passion for this project, hopefully we can all keep just as much patience.
Honestly the progress we’re seeing so far seems pretty astoundingly fast considering how few people are working on it.
Dispelling the myth of a universal "Lemmy" community, and discussion of what the fediverse really is
Here’s an analogy, hope it helps:
Kbin.social and beehaw.org are like really advanced email servers (e.g. outlook.com, gmail.com)
The content you’re seeing on kbin is like viewing an email sent from another server, in the case of this thread you’re getting content from beehaw.org.
These aren’t just normal emails, they’re super advanced emails with comments, replies, categories, votes etc.
The content is downloaded to the kbin servers for your viewing pleasure, and you can send an ‘email’ back to beehaw by engaging in their posts/communities like you’re doing now. That will send what you’ve done back to beehaw so it’s all synced up for their users.
If beehaw ever goes down/gets unlinked from kbin you’ll still have the old ‘emails’ (content) but you won’t be able to engage with them anymore. Like if someone deleted their email account it doesn’t delete all the emails they sent to other people.
This whole project has been popular for like a month? I know Lemmy servers were going longer but kbin is about that old.
Frankly I think the progress is insane, give it 6 months and I think you’ll have multiple native apps to pick from. Probably some of them would be on their own instances.
For the lazy, kbin.social has more active users than all of lemmy combined but a lot less posts.
if im getting nugs at 2 in the morning I've lost control of both my life and my finances.
Hey im on Kbin, can you see my comment?
Hey could you give some more details on how you intergrated ActivityPub? I make a lot of Wordpress sites but know very little about intergrating the fediverse.
The joke is OP’s assessment of what a meme is.
