Hey, sorry for going quiet. It’s been a busy few days as I’m sure you can imagine.
We were looking into several different federated instances and tried to pick up analog and analogcommunity on a few. On this particular kbin instance, despite there not apparently being an analogcommunity magazine, I was unable to reserve that spot.
We’re still evaluating whether or not we’ll ultimately be moving here or to lemmy.world, as it’s dependent somewhat on whether or not kbin is able to stabilize (no shade there, we understand that a sudden influx of users is very hard to deal with), and also on whether people show greater propensity to favor lemmy as well.
My take is that stuff like this counts on traffic being a flash in the pan. At first, it’s funny and novel, but as time wears on the hope may be that people stop engaging with funny sexy Oliver photo #93848. Hypothetically this would cause a drop in traffic and engagement, but still leave the mod team strictly in compliance with reddit’s demands.
/u/spez is truly a font of strange and wonderful phrases that don’t mean at all what he intends them to.
