As you may have already seen most of Reddit has gone dark including r/GlobalOffensive. We, the mod team of r/GlobalOffensive have created this alternative Counter-Strike community here for people who want to continue discussing Counter-Strike, bypassing Reddit’s shenanigans.
We can continue to operate here, and share more on our actions and developments with Reddit in the comming days. Please bear with us, while we try to get used to Kbin and the Fediverse.
Good to have you on board! Us at /r/Amsterdam are also dipping our toes into the Reddit-like Fediverse.
A few things we’ve noticed:
- The cloud flare thing on Kbin currently sucks. It eats comments.
- We’re wondering how users will deal with multiple communities with the same name (across instances). Will the Lemmy.ml or the Lemmy.World or the Kbin.social “CSPro” be the default?
We’re looking at redirects/links to stitch it together a bit. - Kbin seems a bit more refined on the UI side currently, even if the naming (‘Magazines’) is confusing currently.
It Mark’s the return of CSS styling, and happily can build on a very modern & solid CSS foundation unlike Old.Reddit. - Lemmy is the only one with (iOS) apps at the moment (Mlem) but it’s still very basic at the moment. Like with Mastodon, I expect you this to change rapidly, given the extra time a bunch of devs will soon have + the ones who’ve just gotten very good at Fediverse coding through Mastodon are out there.
- Moderation tools are a bit mystery still. Need to get some traffic first to see how it will evolve!
