/c/café daily chat thread for 27 June 2023
Joke of the day
What did dad say when mom asked him to get groceries?
You’ve got to come with me. It’s Twosday.
You're viewing a single thread.
BTW, come contribute to this regional SEA magazine that i set up on kbin.social: https://kbin.social/m/magASEAN
And just in case not aware, kbin has a microblog section because they basically slurp content from the fediverse microblogs. If you click on the kbin logo on the left, you can see this nav tab like in the screengrab. The mag tracks posts that put MakanApaToday and TootSEA up top so if you want to also add food and other Fedi posts pls do!
I find kbin hard to navigate, always so lost whenever i tried it. Maybe because i treat it like another reddit instead of something new :x
Yeah it's definitely it's own beast, closer to being a forum than a reddit imo. I'm also still trying to wrap my head around the use case, tho it was explained to me it's supposed to be a link aggregator for fediverse content. Kot.
But lemmy also link aggregator what 🙈
Yaaaa i don't really know the lore well but before this month, Lemmy was chugging along slowly2 with most ppl on fedi not really finding the need for it + the reputation of the devs being tankies. Kbin not even six months, this kid was just building on PHP code he got elsewhere to do both link aggregation and microblogging. As it was heating up (like shy2 announce got flagship instance etc) more ppl were trying it out (because non-tankie option? Wheeee). ETA: and unlike Lemmy the aggregation to include Fedi content is why the microblog section of the magazines slurps content from other blogs. Then Reddit Migration happened lmao. The tankie issue is still there but the redditor energy of doing their instances or choosing the existing non-tankie ones, and more developer energy to layan a fork should anything happen is also why Lemmy got a fresh burst of life, frankly.
lemme try have a local link to it...
monyet.cc/c/[email protected]there we go. the power of the fediverse is coursing through my veins! 💪
