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?
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
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
Aaaaand it’s down again.

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.

This might help

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
