Bell curve of Linux distributions in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world
[–] Hatchet@kbin.social 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Eh, I've been around the block at this point. Fedora ftw. Simple, easy, GUI installer, "just works"™️, sane package manager, normie default DEs, stable, corporate backing. Maybe not for a purist or enthusiast, but I don't have time for that stuff anymore anyways. My days of pouring hours into getting my Arch install just right are long past me. That was for when I still had free time.

Geez I have to block every news community to get away from US news.

While larger, more general communities are thriving on the Fediverse - I'm missing out on the niche communities in c/RedditMigration@kbin.social

Working on it! Right now, with this huge influx of new users, is a great time to create content that is very search engine friendly. In an effort to promote such content, I started the dance community here on kbin. Please join!

What communities are or aren't visible across lemmy.world and kbin.social? in c/fediverse@kbin.social
[–] Hatchet@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I've noticed some similarly weird synchronization issues when posting on japaneselanguage@sopuli.xyz: some of my posts show up on the kbin side, but not on the canonical instance.

(Also, yay for m/dance! Am creator and would love some other contributors!)

Unlike previous attempts at trying reddit alternatives (like Voat), kbin and much of the lemmyverse doesn’t seem to be plagued with extreme far right buffoonery. in c/RedditMigration@kbin.social

The way to avoid the fediverse suffering the same fate is not to combat extremism with an equivalent amount of antagonistic political dialogue, but to form meaningful communities around non-political topics.

Instead of bickering in circles about politics, join communities dedicated to your hobbies, career, etc.

My primary concern is for the fediverse to generate content that is search engine friendly. Generally, I don't think that political squabbles serve that end.

I'm doing my best to practice what I preach. Check my profile.

The Germans are taking over my feed because they are using the Boost function very efficiently, arent they? in c/fediverse@kbin.social

Helps me practice my German. Unfortunately, I don't know any German, so it doesn't help me at all, actually.

I posted a meme to a federated community (on sopuli.xyz) from kbin. It shows up fine when I view the community on kbin, but if you visit the community on the original instance, it doesn't show up. Why?

Is it possibly related to https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/104218/Lemmy-ml-is-blocking-all-requests-from-kbin-Instances ? Obviously it's a different instance, but it still seems to be a federation issue.

CTA: Create a thriving Fediverse without relying on Reddit (kbin.social)
 

The Fediverse must be very careful to avoid getting branded as the "alternative to X". In my experience, platforms that have historically branded themselves as "alternative to" or "anti-" have generally not done well. Learned this from the last Reddit exodus: let's make this one different!

How can this time be different?

Join real communities, contribute real content.

Sorry, but low-effort image macros and meta-posting about how much everyone hates Reddit (yes, yes, u/spez sucks, carry on) is not a recipe for a successful platform. It doesn't hurt, but it doesn't really help either.

This time, the exodus appears to have been large enough to start disrupting Google search, at least anecdotally. This is an opportunity for the Fediverse: now is the time to create searchable content, to ask the questions that people are asking search engines, and to engage in real communities.

Here's my call to action:

  1. Find 1 new community on any Lemmy/Kbin/etc. and make a post/article. Not a low-effort post, but something that a search engine would pick up on.
  2. Comment when you've done so, with a link to the post.
  3. Then, go and comment on someone else's post that they've commented.

Let's make the Fediverse succeed!

Here are some options for Kbin communities, but feel free to pick others on other instances as well!
