Love watching Reddit decide, unforced, to torch their entire brand and supposed values in one fell swoop. Fuck that entire site and fuck it's "leadership." You grew on the backs of millions of users only to become what we all tried to escape from, and I can't wait to watch it crash into the ground. It'll be more comical than the Digg implosion when it happens.

Anyway, use Federated services like #Lemmy and #Kbin everyone and starve Steve Huffman's golden goose.

Mbin v1.8.0 released

Mother fucking 2 year #lemmy cake day.

For me, lemmy was the actual start of the fediverse experience.

A reddit/forum style platform on the same protocol as Twitter style platforms that even kinda interacted with each other (first time seeing which was genuinely wonderful).

Since, I’ve always said the Fedi should do more group based things, and I stand by that. I even think Reddit/forum/group-based platforms are a better story on AP than microblogging and I’d wager they could stick around longer than the Twitter clones.

Either way, whenever I come back to the Fedi, I’m usually heading for lemmy / #threadiverse first. Reddit culture aside, I find it a much nicer way to find my people.

I hope all the best for the other platforms too… #kbin , #mbin , #piefed , #nodebb (and #friendica too)!

Looking for a #kbin or #lemmy instance to join. Something #socialist, #trans or #autistic leaning. If anyone has any #FediRecs #findAnInstance

Es interesante pensar en lo frágiles que son estos proyectos de redes sociales federadas especialmente cuando por falta de buenas opciones la mayoría de usuarios acaban en el servidor/instancia original, el del desarrollador.
#Kbin fue un buen proyecto, tenía mejor federación y más ventajas que #Lemmy, pero su dev desapareció (presumiblemente por problemas de salud). Dado que no delegó, su servidor y desarrollo murieron y meses después lo que comienza a asomar cabeza es un fork llamado #Mbin.

Get ready atproto & Bluesky! Next influx of users from activitypub & other fediverse apps Tools to fully migrate user posts, images etc from mastodon / pixelfed / lemmy kbin mbin etc #atproto #activitypub #fediverse #mastodon #pixelfed #bluesky #lemmy #kbin #mbin #foss #opensource

Some of you here, and on other servers, post on particular topics, like Celtic culture, Linux, cardiovascular health. But most microblogging applications, like Mastodon, lack engagement. People who read your posts don't see follow-up discussions, either because they are unaware there is a discussion, or because, given the nature of the Fediverse, their server doesn't receive all the related posts.

Imagine if you were able to set up a "digital campfire" as a supplement where you can dive deep into discussions, answer questions, and engage with your readers about your passion and interest, where everyone can see all the interactions.

This is what Fediverse applications like PieFed, Lemmy, and MBIN provide (Reddit alternatives). They allow you to create focused communities dedicated to your passions and interests.

These platforms are also federated, connecting with other Fediverse apps for wider reach.

Ready to create and moderate a digital campfire? You can set up a community on my PieFed server at https://feddit.online or a different server more suited to your liking. You can then invite your readers to join and engage. While there, you might find other communities to join. There are tons of them.

Want a piece of PieFed? I'm now running a PieFed instance: https://feddit.online

A long time ago I had a #KBIN instance, feddit.online. KBIN is part of the "threadiverse", a Reddit replacement.

When KBIN was abandoned, I shut it down. KBIN became #MBIN and Jerry Bell opened a fantastic MBIN instance, fedia.io, to go along with the mother ship instance. I didn't see a reason to open yet another MBIN instance. So feddit.online remained parked ... until now.

Ending its time in beta, there is a new #Reddit #Fediverse replacement, #PieFed, which is similar to MBIN in how it works, but is built with different technology.

While MBIN is mainly written in PHP and Node, and uses RabbitMQ for queuing, PieFed is written using Flask/Python, with Celery for queuing.

I'm much more familiar with Python than PHP, and so PieFed is particularly interesting to me. I might even be able to contribute to the project someday when I get through learning the codebase and learning Flask.

More information about PieFed is here: https://join.piefed.social/features/ and https://blog.elenarossini.com/the-future-of-social-is-here-a-show-and-tell-part-4-lemmy-piefed-mbin/

Want to play with PieFed?

https://feddit.online is available now. Registration is immediately available while I'm available to watch, but restricted when I'm not watching. If restricted, you just need to give a quick reason for joining and then be patient.

Also, some email providers have an issue with email addresses ending in .social, especially that come from a mail server hosted on Digital Ocean. If joining, check your spam filter and white list notitifications@feddit.online

Remember, it's beta. So there may be issues and there may be downtime at times to address upgrades and what not. Also, I've been so busy bringing up the server that I haven't had a chance to learn everything yet about it, so I may not have answers to questions.

It seems to run efficiently, but I'm unsure if I sized the server optimally. I will grow it if need be.

Welcome to anyone interested in checking out PieFed!

Is Threadiverse alive? kbin.social is down for a while. What about others?

Any good recommendations for mobile clients for #Lemmy and #KBin as well as stuff to follow for dank memes?

I'll mostly use it to browser pictures (probably), in case that matters. Never tried any of the existing clients.

Hey everyone just FYI you can post to Kbin and Lemmy from Mastodon and other Fediverse Micro-blogging platforms by having one line of your post at the top be the title and putting a mention to the specific community's handle in your post, works best if the mention is below the title. Also you can even attach images and they will appear in the post as an image (multiple images don't work as well sadly).

You can find communities to post in on lemmyverse.net/communities

Here's an example of the format that works best, even for non-glitch instances:

[Post title text]

*(separate title and body with blank space)

[Post body text]

[Community's handle mention]
