Actually, there are more cases of domestic violence than false accusations. How come we’re not worried about false accusations of robbery when they happen at the same rate as false accusations of sexual assault? Trust me, there are not karens lurking in every corner trying to make fake reports.

In our society where sexual assault is underreported, and one in 4 women experience domestic violence, why are you putting a comment that wouldn’t help this society improve on this front?

So sickening. Hope war will end soon and Russia pays

Maybe that magazine should be linked on this one’s description so people can know about it and its purpose

To make a thread, go to the community you wanna post on, then click Create a new article. It’s confusing I know haha but after I learned that, I haven’t had problems. They might change how that part is organized too to be more clear

It iis easier to sign up for kbin I think because kbin lets you sign up with google or facebook. I did gmail google sign up because I like being lazy.

Kbin is slightly more confusing (they named everything a little weird), so if you do make a kbin.social account lmk or ask many questions about how to do stuff. It’s easy once I knew stuff like magazine = subreddit

Are you going to the community and then clicking create new article? Maybe post a screenshot of the issue you run into

I advertised my kbin magazine on that lemmy community you mentioned :) I’m subscribed to it too. Most of the forums im subscribed to are from lemmy but it’s fine

@ernest

Is it possible to rename the display name for this magazine to "ADHD memes"? The original instance updated the display name, but the address will always be the same.

Forum on the original instance is here https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/adhd

so complicated :o that's true, it's kind of another con of making an account on and staying on a small instance then. If the instance makes its own communities, and the instance plans to stay small ish to be a lot of decentralized servers, then the content might not be well searchable for the small instance. idkkkk, it feels like there's pros of the fediverse, but then sometimes it's like a double edged sword or something.

I do see them adding a page to see everything, and it definitely could help new users find communities

Thanks for your answer. It's making sense to me. I do think this kind of thing might encourage more users to congregate on the large instances, but who knows, maybe it wouldn't be that bad if we continue making a new large instance if one fills up. Like how we have lemmy.ml, and now filling lemmy.world, and lemmy.world has a good experience.

I also am not entirely sure too how exactly the posts get populated, because I'm visiting some communities I added on that smaller server only a day ago, but it does show some posts from 7- 9 days ago (they don't have any new comments or anything), so yeah maybe I also don't completely understand how it works still. I added this one to the server I'm on - lemmy.studio - and I think I only added it today, but it's showing some from a few days ago: https://lemmy.studio/c/kbinMeta@kbin.social/data_type/Post/sort/Active/page/1

I don't know, I'm thinking they are probably about the same. Even though I'm trying both lemmy and kbin, I'm on a large kbin server and on a small lemmy server. I think that can make a bigger difference for the ignorant (me) than lemmy vs kbin. It can get kind of complicated to do some basic tasks, and I think it's good if these aggregators can make it easier to do.

For Kbin, I am liking the way they organize my feed, but I think you can customize your filter/sort on lemmy to do the same. Plus they have the android mobile app Jerboa, so I'm sure the experience for the feed can be good (don't have to keep resetting the filter the way I'm doing on browser [since I dont have an android phone])

Definitely feel free to make these accounts though :) It's been cool, like a big experiment to make these two accounts. I have one on lemmy.studio and kbin.social

 

Is there any way to get all the past posts of a community where I'm the first to subscribe/adding it to my instance?

If there is, then that's really great, but if there isn't it's sounding like a con to me, of making an account on a newer instance.

 

Will anyone explain how communities become available for members of an instance to see/be able to subscribe to?

I joined a smaller instance on lemmy, but I'm having trouble finding some communities. Eg. "nostupidquestions" shows no results, so I think someone needed to have added it? But I'm not sure who

 

Sorry if this isn't the right place to add this post. If I've put it in the wrong place, feel free to let me know the correct magazine.

I noticed that the on the list of Magazines section here: https://kbin.social/magazines, the "hot" tab shows mostly the kbin magazines. This made me sometimes subscribe to a magazine where the other aggregator like Lemmy already had a duplicate(same purpose).

The kbin version of the magazine shows up first since it has more subscribers, even though the other version on Lemmy has more Threads.

One example I can give is the magazines/communities Anime@kbin.social and anime@lemmy.ml.
When I search for "anime", and sort by "hot", the kbin version shows up first even though it has about half as many threads because it has much more subscribers.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, maybe it would be nice if I could sort the list of Magazines by number of threads too, rather than only the number of subscribers. After all, the anime@lemmy.ml has like 3000 subscribers on lemmy.ml, but it has only 200 on kbin.

If I could sort by number of threads a magazine has, then I might be able to find the other options of magazines. I thought there was only one magazine for "gaming" but actually there are two, and they cover the same exact topic. If I only subscribed to the "gaming" on kbin, then I would be missing out on the content from lemmy users. It might help get more unified on the fediverse. It's great if there's two "gaming" communities/mags that cover different things, but I think for this case, people would want to be able to see the threads/posts from both (and ideally not have to subscribe to both to not miss out due to misunderstanding)

 

How can I add a community that's from kbin? Also, if I add a community from a different aggregator like kbin to my lemmy account, will that make it available for everyone on lemmy to find?

 

I've heard you can do a google search and append say kbin.social to get results just from kbin, but if I wanted to treat the fediverse's content like reddit's, is there a way to do the google search on just everything that's on the fediverse?

 

How do I make a new “thread” for a magazine? (I’m on kbin atm)
