welcome to the new brood! #redditMigration

 

now that the initial wave has died down, maybe take a breather and stop posting topics like, "What I think Kbin needs to do..." and "The problem with Kbin / Lemmy..." and "How do we get X from reddit...". Post about what you like, rather than what you think the platform needs.

we’ve replaced all of our writers with large language models acting as writing assistants. Let’s see if anyone notices…

yeah, I haven't found the right syntax for linking to external communities. It looks like @ community/magazine @ server.name should work, but it's not getting the links right.

edit: Bah! What is the correct format to link to communities / magazines on other servers? Will update when I figure it out.

Reformatted for kbin users.

https://kbin.social/m/asklemmy@lemmy.world and !asklemmy@lemmy.ml (and others on other instances) are intended to be similar to Ask Reddit

I'm not using it because I don't want to contribute to their Daily Active User count, a metric that will absolutely be used leading up to their IPO. If that goes down due to their bad decisions, it will be worse for them.

but you do you.

it's in "adweek". A publication about advertising. They only care about content as a thing to monetize.

These are all good.

Having seen a few subreddits get taken over by tyrannical mods, I’d like to see some kind of active oversight, or meta moderation. Not sure how that could be implemented. Maybe a voting consensus built into the sub / magazine / community.

Activity and the user experience are both important. Variety too. Special Interest Groups are important.

Region focused communities are another area that deserve attention, though they could be served by geographically based instances.
