Aaaaand it’s down again.

I tried suggesting to someone to move to another instance. I got accused of pushing an “agenda”, lol. Is lemmy.world reaching Reddit fanboy-ism mentality?

Meanwhile, me on kbin.social doing 90% of my reading and posting on lemmy.world.

I love the interface here. But the content leaves much to be desired.

Kbin’s odd, Is it a mix of Mastodon and Lemmy in one?

From what I understand, “Magazines” are Communities/Subreddits, “Threads” are posts in those Magazines, and Microblogs are the comments in those Threads? But you can Boost posts?

I’m curious how cross posting works between Mastodon/Kbin

As far as I can tell, “boosting” is like an upvote that carries across instances. The regular upvote/downvotes stay on Kbin. I haven’t even touched the “microblog” thing yet because I have no idea how to use it. But the rest is spot on.

Just tested posting on Kbin, it seems Boosting is singular to Kbin. Voting acts the same and shows the same number, boosting doesnt affect the vote count.

Maybe it’s more meant for integration with Mastodon.

Unless I’m wrong, any Kbinners are welcome to correct me

Hello me, meet the real me

Thanks for the correction.

I started with lemmy.world but haven’t used it since like the second day lol

lemmy.world is great to start on but I want to switch to a smaller but more local instance really. I dont know how to search for an instance thats in my region

What region?

There are lots of tools that list instances but ultimately it might be better to ask for opinions.

Im thinking that too, southeast US

Hopefully someone finds this and can suggest something.

I had a look on https://lemmyverse.net but there don’t seem to be any location-based servers for the south east. Perhaps pick a general US-based server, or one themed around a hobby?

Probably go to a few and check the local feed. The main difference between servers will be the local feed, so find a server where that’s somewhat active and has content you want to see. I think it’s a good idea to aim for a server with 500-5,000 users so the local feed is somewhat useful.

Rules:

Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
