Honestly everything is so new i can understand why people are extremely optimistic/pessimistic about this whole thing
The curse of being an early adopter.
Don’t like the content? Make your own! :)
I’m liking the fediverse so far. I was mainly a lurker on Reddit for 9 years and only recently started conversing on it a few months ago myself.
Kbin.social did seem pretty “dead” when I joined earlier this week, but once federation was turned back on content has been pretty good. The only thing I need to find out is how to not see posts to magazines I don’t follow in my main feed. I’m getting quite a few German language posts that I can’t read, so filtering those out would cut down on the noise.
the duality of man
The people who joined lemmy.world/one/whatever did it because they saw light and people. They are mostly spectators, not content creators.
The people who joined kbin saw an opportunity to restart from scratch, they are creators.
My experience so far is that the majority of the content on here is regarding reddit/subreddits/reddit activity.
If this is the type of content that continues to get posted/traction, then this place will collapse
keep in mind that there’s already lots of content coming in from Lemmy, and kbin can be another way to access that content in a manner some people prefer. the biggest advice for everyone is to be the change you want to see. we can’t just be lurking consumers if we want to be here, we have to start commenting and posting all we can
