Have you even tried #Piefed? Piefed.social is:
"A lemmy/kbin clone written in Python with Flask.
-Clean, simple code that is easy to understand and contribute to. No fancy design patterns or algorithms.
-Easy setup, easy to manage - few dependencies and extra software required.
-AGPL.
-First class moderation tools."
It's actually really quite nice, and I don't hear much noise about it. Go give this project a look at https://piefed.social.
Over 8 months ago now, I started using the Fediverse, messing around with different instances.
I'm glad I've found a pretty good instance of Mastodon.social instead of using Lemmy, Kbin / Mbin or other things like PixelFed.
I'm not saying I'll not use these in the future, but I want a main account for the Fediverse to help bring family and friends in as well as learn the basics & complex parts of the fediverse.
Mam takie głupie pytanie #fedipomoc. O co chodzi z karabinem i dlaczego każdy inaczej.
karab.in teraz nie działa, ale jak działa to mogę tam wyszukać sienbie i czasem nawet jakieś moje tootki i licznik reputacji sie kreci (cokolwiek to znaczy :>)
kbin.social moge sie wyszukać, tootki są ale repytacja stoi w miejscu czy li sie nie synchronizuje
bin.pol.social nie moge nawet wyszukać siebie (tego tutaj siebie).
I to tylko przykład, ale skoro one są do tego stopnia out of sync to czy jesli ktoś chce śledzić magazyn o nie wiem hodowli pasikoników spożywczych to ... musi śledzić fefnaście magazynow na wszystkich karabinach? Czy to nie powinno toworzyc na poziomie magazynow jakichs globalnych meta spolecnzosci? Czy wszystko żle rozumiem?
@JFreeWolny
Jestem obserwowany na karab.in i kbin.social, ale nie na bin.pol.social, a zdążyłem coś twojego podbić.
Wyszukiwarka zaciągnie profil po wpisaniu adresu... ale tylko przez zalogowanego użytkownika @emill1984
I really wish I could like Lemmy, but I'm not comfortable using it given the founders' rather... icky... personal views. Not hating if you can look the other way but I cannot.
It's a shame that #Kbin seems stagnant. Here's to hoping @ernest gets well and gets the backup he needs to excel.
Die ursprünglichen #Forum'e im #Internet gelten schon länger als #veraltet und die scheinbare alternative Lösung #Reddit hat nun #KI integriert und schnuppern die #User aus. Die wahre #Alternative finden wir wieder im Fediverse und sind ua #kbin / #Mbin so wie #Lemmy. Ja das #Fediverse ist viel mehr als nur #Mastodon und Co und kommuniziert nicht nur auf einem Server, sondern in der #Community (ihr kennt es evt schon)
Hello #Kbin! I'm signing up on every fediverse site I can find to try all the different interfaces, features, and wacky combinations the open web has to offer. I'll probably be sharing my findings on WriteFreely or Plume after a while. I apologize in advance for any weirdness that may result from my experiments. 😅
Hello again #Fediverse, I may need your #fedihelp. So, here's a list of the Fediverse software I'm about to make temporary accounts for to test all the features and differences:
So, did I miss anything noteworthy? Does anyone have any tips or recommendations before I choose a server for any one of these? I'll probably be going for the most popular server on each for improved federation and maintenance.
Note: I'm using #Sharkey right now and Misskey forks are already overrepresented, so that's why it's not included.
@danieldekay no the same - I have hundreds of different followers on each network, although all could follow on either one. I post manually to Hubzilla, but my Friendica site auto-posts from my blog RSS feed.
Both networks are profile -only posts, so no separation into topics like Google+ had. I loved posting into topics as that gave some focus for followers. Actually think Reddit has that inside channels, but I left Reddit for Lemmy.
The #Fediverse spam attack is pretty interesting as a single user instance owner. Unless someone I follow on #Mastodon interacts with a spam post, I don't get to see it. Consequently, I don't think I've seen a single one via Mastodon.
I use Mastodon to follow a bunch of #Lemmy and #Kbin communities though, which function when viewed by Mastodon as a user boosting every post to their community. Therefore I'm seeing a lot of posts that way (before blocking and reporting).
I'm out of the loop so not sure if there's a solution being mulled by instance admins, but it seems like a hard problem to solve. Captchas, restricted signups, and manual approvals, then defederating from instances that don't moderate them I guess?
@rhys Just be careful. Small instances with open registration are the main vector of attack. They're the ones being co-opted by the spammers to launch the spam wave
#kbin is a mostly great Reddit-Like service that collects the fediverse into one place. That is an issue because there are servers out there which post illegal stuff. My day was ruined by reporting those who post that gross, illegal content! 🤢
I'm probably going to play No Man's Sky for the rest of today to get over the icky and uncomfortable feeling that pervades my mind. Especially since I'm still trying to complete the Living Starship Quest.
@CaptManiac I'm struggling with it as well, finding a portal at the best of times is challenging! Now my luck has been reduced to nothing. I might take a break and do an Expedition so my mind doesn't break due to being subjected to the whimsy of RNG.
Some sage scifi: community lessons in a post-Reddit universe. It’s been eight months since the Reddit blackout. We didn’t know what to expect last June, but we did know that Reddit jumped the shark of Internet relevance. #Reddit#Fediverse#Mastodon#Kbin

Reddit shut down third party apps, introduced API pricing, and crushed the biggest protest in their history. Since then, the topic of the Blackout has gone a bit dark – you can’t seem to find any top-level articles analyzing the blackout past 6/30/23 – and the media cycle has moved onto other topics.

But what happened to science fiction? Did the scifi community grow or change as a result of the Reddit blackout? I took a quick look over at Social-Rise (/r/scifi and /r/sciencefiction) and the results are startling – see for yourself:
In each of the three screenshots – the dots indicate daily post/comment activity on each subreddit. Higher dots mean higher activity, lower dots indicate lower activity.
