We're almost to 1 month of running Nerdbin (the 15th I think?!) - and I've been happy to see folks find my little #kbin instance, #nerdbin - targeting anyone with an awesome little nerdy fandom they are passionate about.
We've got folks creating their own magazines, some talking in existing ones. I appreciate everyone!
At the 1 month mark I'm going to post a "month in review" to show off growth, costs, etc, for everyone interested in running their own!
@jcrabapple Boosting for you & your #DMV community folks. I voted no. BUT - I was never really a Reddit person. I'm trying out #NerdBin and I like the functionality of it, but - again, Reddit was never really my thing.
As 2023 is coming to an end shortly, I'm going to go through and just randomly list off some favorites from the past year.
High speed. Minimal thoughts.
First - favorite new manga of 2023? Beat and Motion, Two on Ice, and Shojo Null. The first's about music; the second's about figure skaters; the last is set in a world of disposable cyborgs that are actuality sentient people with machines on them removing all sense of consciousness - with a sentient cyborg lead, a co-lead whose parent's were murdered for learning this truth, & good social commentary on cops.
2023 was big for me on the Fediverse. I got active on Pixelfed with @mdmrn. I started a new Sharkey (originally Firefish) account @mdmrn.
I had a KBin account, but that disappeared almost as soon as I had it when NerdBin disappeared. Then again I was never much of a Reddit guy...so Fediverse Reddit was never going to be my thing.
Okay, so I made a #NerdBin account to try out #KBin. Not sure how much I'll use it cause I was never really a big Reddit person in general, but if interested - here's my account: @mdmrn
Okay, so I am on #Android, and it let me install the #NerdBin website as though it is an app. So, I can save the website app and use it that way. Works well.
Well, following advices, trying out this new instance, nerdbin.social hope that it works out well. @Matt, while adding my subscriptions (and as a testing of federation) I noticed I couldn't subscribe to any magazines on lemmy.world and lemmy.ml and I'm going to assume you chose to defederate from them. Is there any specific reason why? #nerdbin#kbin#fediverse
