Yes and no. It is true that going to reddit to troll reddit benefits reddit in the short term, but I think it's harmful in the long term. By making /r/pics, /r/gifs, and /r/aww John Oliver themed, /r/wellthatsucks becoming vacuum themed, and /r/interestingasfuck and /r/iOS becoming essentially unmoderated, it is making those communities ultimately pointless, irritating users away from the site, and raising awareness. John Oliver even tweeted about it and provided dozens of pictures for their use, and it's likely at this point that LWT will do something on the situation when the writer's strike is over. I've only gone to reddit to vote in the troll polls- I don't think that's the kind of engagement reddit actually wants at this point.

What a fucking crazy shit show. Thanks for sharing the non-reddit link.

The addiction rate among pain patients is low, but those patients may still be over prescribed and sell the excess. That said, I hate how controlled they are. I don't abuse or sell and it's a constant fight with my doctors to prescribe anything for kidney stone pain, which I get several of a year.

Lemmyverse already lets you. The "Home" button allows you to set the URL of your home instance.

I don't plan to use reddit anymore if I can help it, other than to find specific answers to things. I'll no longer just browse. That said, up until now I exclusively used RiF. I refuse to touch the official app, and use old.reddit and ad blockers.

There is actually an advantage to being part of a larger instance if you want to browse everything, actually. An instance is federated with another when a user from Instance A subscribes to a community from Instance B. The more users in an instance, the more people to subscribe to other instances, federating that instance with more instances for all users.

It's a protest. It's meant to be inconvenient. Be mad at the people causing the protest, not the protesters.

Reddit, obviously. Way more content and activity. If you're just finding out about both, you don't know about the API kerfuffle and the UI isn't so terrible that someone who's just getting exposed to it would care because they have no frame of reference. There's no way the average person would choose Kbin over reddit if they really are just learning about both at the same time.

For a guy who claims the blackout isn't affecting reddit, he sure is worried about getting the blackout done and over with.

Yes, but reddit can undo it. A little while back, /r/KotakuInAction was nuked by the head mod, who had not been an active moderator for years. He deleted all content and set the subreddit to private. However, since his actions were malicious and the rest of the mods could only watch since he was above them in the mod order, reddit admins removed him from the mod list and restored the subreddit to before the mod went crazy. This is likely the same logic they'll use to reopen the subs, only it doesn't work since it's not the work of one rogue mod, but the mod team as a whole.

It's not a silly question at all, and it's one of the most unintuitive parts of the Fediverse. The most straightforward way is to go to the community you want to subscribe to (you can see a fairly comprehensive list at browse.feddit.de). Copy the URL from that community. Go back to Kbin and paste that URL into the search bar. If it doesn't show up immediately, wait a few seconds then refresh, and it should.

There is some shorthand to how you can search- for example, searching "!(community name)@(instance home URL)" works as well, but Kbin in particular is a bit odd because it uses an @ for both community and instance, instead of the rest of Lemmy which uses the !. Like I said, the most straightforward way is just to copy the URL itself and figure out the shortcuts later.
