This truly is Reddit’s successor.
I remember having to explain to people what subreddit where, once lemmy/kbin upgrade their UI enough it will be no more complicated.
Kbins build docs are a nightmare. I have experience with Linux and docker. Can’t get them to work at all. Closest I get are 500 errors and one can’t find a log tossing errors to explain it to save my life.
Maybe I’m not as well familiarized with the parts and pieces as I thought, though I’ve built plenty of Drupal stacks and the like, even using docker and Ansible etc.
Then I look at PRs showing sql injection fixes and XSS fixes and I’m like…oh
The biggest benefit I see so far is the lack of bots. I know there are still some bots out there but most of them are useful bots and not just karma farming bots or bots designed for propaganda.
Regardless of the success (or failure) of the blackout what’s important is to create an alternative platform to Reddit. The blackout doesn’t have much legs because of the lack of alternative. Deep inside we all know that many will just go back to reddit once the blackout will end - it’s why the importance of creating an alternative.
Keep boosting Lemmy.

Did you mean to reply to something else? I don’t see how this is relevant to OP
Yes! It’s a bug. The post suddenly changes, while I’m writing a comment. I also deleted it immediately, but that didn’t seem to federate properly. I resurrected and edited it, hoping that’ll update for everyone. Original intended context: https://lemmy.world/post/129333
@Skelectus @imaqtpie Write it in notepad or some other note taking app then paste it and send. I would do that till all the bugs on lemmy are fixed
The app doesn’t decide which community to post in; you do. When you pick a community for the post to go to, you might pick !news@beehaw.org, in which case it becomes hosted by the beehaw.org server. Or you might pick !news@lemmy.world, in which case it’s hosted by the lemmy.world server. If you vote or comment on the post that’s on beehaw.org, the vote/comment is hosted there as well, and likewise for lemmy.world.
Perhaps the important point is that !news@beehaw.org and !news@lemmy.world are different communities, just like how neo@thematrix.com and neo@zion.org are different email addresses, even though they’re both Neo.
i’m so glad we’re off reddit so now we can say what we really feel about spez
I didn’t even use third party apps, I just really don’t like when companies try to enforce stuff in that way. I’d love for Lemmy to grow big, and it doesn’t seem to have the same initial clunkiness and feeling of being lost that you’d have on Mastodon during the Twitter shenanigans. I’m hopeful.
Ditto. I used to use BaconReader a million years ago, but for the most part I just use my mobile browser if I’m on my phone. But them doing this to 3PA is a red flag, a big giant one, that either they’re looking at Twitter and going “wow that’s working great, definitely not a huge catastrophic trash fire” or at least going “that’s a trash fire alright, but one I’m willing to live with if it means more money.” Time to get out.
