raddle.me/f/touhou, the only very active link aggregator alternative to r/touhou
Hey you. Yes you, Touhou fan. Tired of r/touhou's too restrictive rules? Want a very active general 2hu forum that's hosted on a #reddit alternative with an explicit strong anti-bigotry stance? Then why not hang out and chill at #Raddle's f/touhou? We've recently reached 100 subscribers and 520 submissions! :D
One of the cool things about the #redditmigration & the rise of #Kbin & #Lemmy is it is a big positive to both the #threadiverse and the existing users on the Fedi:
On the Threadiverse side: Lots of brand new blood from fleeing Reddit new users now discovering the Fediverse for the first time. New blood. New ideas.
On the Masto/Fedi side:
I think many are seeing REAL federation from/to an entirely other type of Fedi platform for the first time in the wild.
It really works. Opening eyes.
All legacy technical posts will remain available so that searching for help related to the browser is still available, but henceforth and until the reddit admins appropriately reply to our concerns, the only new submissions allowed will be ones that contain the cuddly fuzzy little animals from which the subreddit indirectly received its name:
The red panda! Also known as fire foxes.
If you are looking for technical posts, we now have an official community on Kbin. Keep in mind that Lemmy also federates with Kbin. We continue to be around on Matrix as well.
The subreddit & Kbin magazine aren't run by Mozilla but are still a very important forum for the browser.
Do give them a follow on @firefox - you should be able to follow that from most of the Fediverse i.e. Mastodon, Calckey, etc etc etc
Mastodon is experiencing a pretty significant surge in new users today. Probably because of people leaving Reddit and establishing themselves on the #Fediverse.
#Reddit immigrants welcome to open distributed social media! It is a really good idea to create a #Mastodon account in addition to a #kbin or #Lemmy account to enjoy the full suite of capabilities available to you here.
Well I finally deleted my reddit account, and all of my subreddits, so I guess an introduction is in order!
Hi everybody! I'm an artist, and occasionally a writer. I wrote for a progressive publication for about 6 years, and learned a lot in the process, but haven't written much since. Here's an article I wrote in 2017 about decentralized social media. Please be kind, I had only been writing for a little over a year at that point! But let's focus on THIS point in time right now, the one where we are actually seeing what I wrote about come to pass. It is wonderful to see!
Here is an example of one of my paintings, it's called "The Lovers". I am loving being here!
[EDIT] Kbin is not letting me link an image, but the one I was going to link is the stickied post on my mastodon profile.
I just created this kbin "magazine" which is the equivalent of a "subreddit" on the #RedditMigration. Anyone on #lemmy or #kbin can follow it - and add to it - here:
The best outcome of the current Reddit trashfire would be if each subreddit mod team opened their own Kbin server for supporting and migrating their community, running their way. #RedditMigration#Reddit#Kbin#social#fediverse
There has been a lot of teeth-gnashing and angst over the fall of #twitter, but from some of the latest news, I think we will have to start thinking about a much bigger problem: the fall of #Google.
We've got @devnull working on it. I'm hoping we don't miss the boat by the time it can be rolled out, but we want to do right by the #fediverse and come out swinging with a highly interoperable frontend to the fediverse-at-large.
Stay tuned here for more info as the story (and branch) develops!
> "As some subreddits continue blackouts to protest Reddit's plans to charge high prices for its API, Reddit has informed the moderators of those subreddits that it has plans to replace resistant moderation teams to keep spaces 'open and accessible to users.'"
#redditmigration Never liked #reddit and don't have an account I can close or subreddit to make private, but I don't mind using a free (as in freedom) platform to publish extended notes related to #emacs and usage in academia ... will see how it goes I guess ... using ommnia as my handler since oatmeal is taken 🙄
What I don't get is how to follow and mention from mastodon to kbin... doesn't look like I can follow @ommnia from here, for example.
I follow a few #KBin communities from my main #Fediverse account and checked out both sites. After 1 hour user testing, in English, I think KBin is more accessible from a navigation and interaction standpoint. I tested with Chrome and NVDA, but I mostly follow communities from my main fediverse account. If you want to try it out, copy a magazine URL into the search on your account. check out communities, or Magazines, to follow at https://kbin.social/magazines#Reddit#RedditMigration#Accessibility#A11y
So #Reddit has sent us this nice "either you open up your subreddit or else" letter too. We will keep the subreddit private, let's see what their "next steps" look like.
> Our goal here is to ensure that existing mod teams establish a path forward to make sure your subreddit is available for the community that has made its home here.
We have established a path forward, it is using the #Fediverse instead of Reddit.
