Pt.2 of the Kbird mascot. Thoughts on these two designs?
  • The second one improves the original concept so much, I really like it! ☺️

  • Both Twitter and Reddit have failed to become profitable. And Twitter's in a far worse position right now than Reddit, because of its massive debt and lack of employees to fix or moderate issues. And since Reddit, who never had to pay for moderation, could not become profitable, it had to make some drastic changes toward that goal. Even if that dissatisfies users.

    I was on Reddit for almost 10 years when I deleted my account. And while the platform will survive, it's difficult to say the same about Twitter. Not only was it a far worse experience to be on the platform after Musk acquired it, but now it's almost impossible to use it. People paying for the subscription have fewer issues, but I doubt that's going to drive up subscriptions, as Musk most probably expects.

  • Are upvotes counting towards your reputation now?
  • The bulk of the accounts had either sub-zero or single-digit reputation, which was weird. And it maybe have discouraged people from joining kbin from reddit, where karma was more easy to understand.

  • What streaming services do you pay for?
  • Like most of people in here, I only pay for Tidal, while also having access to other platforms through friends or family.

  • “Reddit cannot survive without its moderators. It cannot.” - The Verge
  • The comment is from last September, completely unrelated to what's happening now on the platform.

  • Why is Trilium so unknown?
  • That's amazing! Anytype is one of the greatest note-taking apps I've ever tried, and there doesn't seem to be anything it cannot do. So happy to see others using and recommending it.

    I updated the Android app and noticed there's a new desktop version as well, but I'm having issues updating it on Linux, so I just assumed it's still in alpha.

  • Why is Trilium so unknown?
  • Have you tried Anytype? It's a combination of Notion and Obsidian, and it's end-to-end encrypted, and everything is stored on your device. Still in alpha, but it has a lot of features already. Because it's in alpha, they only give access to people who attend an online presentation of the app. But it's worth it. And as soon as it exits alpha, the plan is to open source it.

  • Nicotine Plus - Graphical Client For The Soulseek Peer-To-Peer Network For Music & Files
  • This is by far the best way to get your hands on high-quality, less-mainstream music. Been using it for years now.

  • John Gruber Doesn't Know What He's Talking About
  • The Fediverse and Facebook's business model are incompatible, and that's the main issue here. And in terms of users, I'm sure there are a lot of kbin and Lemmy users who would have an issue with their instances federating with Facebook.

  • How often do you turn federation off?
  • I haven't either, I enjoy the federated aspect and follow quite a few lemmy communities.

  • Best news aggregator? Where do you get your news?
  • When I deleted my Facebook account a good five years ago, I started using RSS to get my news. I also use Feedly. I like how the app looks, I still use the legacy one, as it's simple and I'm used to it.

  • While you're waiting on a kbin app, you should know the mobile site is entirely functional as a mobile app. Just make a shortcut for your home screen
  • I had to do the same thing after I realized how different the website looks on mobile versus desktop. For something still in early beta, kbin is very well put together.

  • While you're waiting on a kbin app, you should know the mobile site is entirely functional as a mobile app. Just make a shortcut for your home screen
  • This is what I'm using and it's a decent experience, especially since you can tweak things to your liking.

  • "If you build it, they will come"
  • Reddit didn't always have the user base it has now, it took them years to become big. I don't think we should strive to be as big as reddit.

    I was reading the comments to a Lemmy post today (I cannot find it now, to link to it), where users who've been on the platform for a while talked about how the recent wave of signups improved the experience. If the people that are going to switch over at the end of the month continue to a positive influence, that's a win in my view.

  • How to Delete your Reddit Account and All Data under GDPR/CCPA
  • Thank you for this guide. I've deleted my posts and comments and requested the account to be deleted.

  • question for admins, mods and users: do you promise to be better than reddit?
  • Reddit is big enough for me to not have really experienced this too much, cuz I was mostly lurking in smaller subreddits. But I remember sometimes visiting r/politics or other toxic subreddits and never wanting to ever go back there.

  • I made an account on Kbin, and I'm looking at posts from Lemmy and BeeHaw and Kbin and sometimes I forget to even check what the source is.
  • I'm still new to the fediverse, so please take what I say with a pinch of salt, but when you create an account on the fediverse, you can access all the federated instances. Which is why you're seeing content from both kbin and lemmy instances.

  • Where did magazines go?
  • In case you're having the same issue, simply go the the Magazines page and search for a topic you're interested in. Or you could also look at the related magazines or random magazines listed on the sidebar.
