Actually, there are more cases of domestic violence than false accusations. How come we’re not worried about false accusations of robbery when they happen at the same rate as false accusations of sexual assault? Trust me, there are not karens lurking in every corner trying to make fake reports.

In our society where sexual assault is underreported, and one in 4 women experience domestic violence, why are you putting a comment that wouldn’t help this society improve on this front?

So sickening. Hope war will end soon and Russia pays

To make a thread, go to the community you wanna post on, then click Create a new article. It’s confusing I know haha but after I learned that, I haven’t had problems. They might change how that part is organized too to be more clear

Are you going to the community and then clicking create new article? Maybe post a screenshot of the issue you run into

I advertised my kbin magazine on that lemmy community you mentioned :) I’m subscribed to it too. Most of the forums im subscribed to are from lemmy but it’s fine

I try to give time and patience to kbin because it’s actually only a month old xD I think it’s this guy called ernesto and some of his friends that are developing for it. They have to fix a lot of things on the site because it’s still in a prototype mode. They work very fast though but yeah I think they’re going as fast as humanly possible right now. I’m glad there is an app being made already right now for both lemmy and kbin.

Yeah I have noticed on lemmy.studio, a newer server, some of the communities from either kbin or lemmy didn’t update, but then after some time, som of them diiid update, with I think all of the old posts, and even if those old posts didn’t have comments. So maybe that’s why it happened for me but some are still unupdated

I just want ShitPostCrusaders to magically be here and popular xD I miss them

I feel like it’s not that bad to be uniform in some ways though. There’s lots of different email sites, but the way they’re organized/labelled is very similar.

I feel like if you want that kind of beautiful system where everything’s decentralized yet still able to talk to each other, then it’s better if some things are standard.

Even the general strategy kbin,lemmy, mastodon use have similarities to be able to talk to each other. They’re all on the fediverse.observer where we can see all their stats in one place. There was uniformity in a good balance. All three of these use activity pub, which I hear is a good thing. If not, I think there would be less synchronization? And then people might say, hey, we should let everyone develop the way they like, and it’s true, but there’s a good benefit in making some stuff the same

I agreee. With email, there’s different email websites I can use, but it would put me off if I made a gmail account, and everything was labelled differently there compared to thte other email websites.

Like if inbox was called something really strange, I just think it would put me off a lot. I use kbin, and even I think it would help if these were renamed. Kbin is new too! Only a month old, so I don’t even know if the developers felt strongly about calling it a magazine or just needed to label all of these in a way that made sense to them.

But yeah I try to be inclusive and use “communities/magazines” but it feels kind of ridiculous because it’s so long. I don’t even like “communities” because it is so long to type…I like “forums” for both. It makes sense because they are forums, and it’s short. I don’t mind “communities” though, and it would be so great if kbin wants to consider relabelling, but they technically also don’t have to and I still will use it.

But I still think it’s the smart thing to do to make it easier for others to use. Should try to decrease friction so people can use their tool to do other things, rather than spend so much time figuring out how to use the tool.

If this stuff hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t even known how theyve been treating the mods badly since forever xD I definitely would have kept using the app, I was starting to do a lot of doomscrolling on there. I just didn’t know there was anything wrong with the company.

However, them messing up like this opened me to the idea of a social media that isn’t for profit. Even if this stuff hadn’t happened, it would happen later. It happens to all the social medias, and it happened to twitter. Because of this event this time, I learned the term “enshittification”, and I think it’s eventually not possible for the social media companies to continue to be profitable without hurting the user experience more and more.

It’s great to me that this stuff with reddit happened because more is gonna happen anyway. If they get to ipo, they’ll probably give more ads, they’ll probably try to push it even more as a tik tok/youtube shorts experience, which I still think those platforms overtake reddit on this field anyway.

I never thought a social media that isn’t for profit was possible and it’s exciting to me that it might be the direction we go in. I’m excited for both fediverse stuff and also the wikipedia non profit app “trust cafe” wt___something.

@ernest

Is it possible to rename the display name for this magazine to “ADHD memes”? The original instance updated the display name, but the address will always be the same.

Forum on the original instance is here https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/adhd

Oh I browse on mobile on the browser too. I think you can click the button with the 3 lines and click Subscribed instead of All to get your subs.

This is also janky atm, but if you want to see your list of the magazines you subscribed to, there actually is a way xD You click Profile, then there’s a bunch of metrics (number of boosts you did, threads you made, etc. ), and you scroll to the right until you see “Subscribed”. When you click that, it shows your magazines so you can go to them. I’m sure they’ll make this a lot easier to get to in the future

oh maybe we should prepare some instances in advance to invite people to come to. There’s a list of kbin servers, and lemmy servers. I’d just like to know if there’s a way to like mass add some communities. I would make an account on kbin.place, which seems new and for the US, but I don’t know if I can add that many magazines

here is one for kbin https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/52838/A-starting-guide-to-kbin-social-support-thread-for-new-users

I think lemmy has a documentation website, and even though it’s called documentation, it can be helpful when you want to add a community that’s not already searchable.

I do have a tip for kbin too, which is to visit your Settings sooner than later and opt into notifications so you can actually be able to respond back to people. The default is very barebones which I guess is good

I do think if they open with malicious compliance, it’s better than if they open with moderators that wanna replace and wanna do their best to keep the sub going

so complicated :o that’s true, it’s kind of another con of making an account on and staying on a small instance then. If the instance makes its own communities, and the instance plans to stay small ish to be a lot of decentralized servers, then the content might not be well searchable for the small instance. idkkkk, it feels like there’s pros of the fediverse, but then sometimes it’s like a double edged sword or something.

I do see them adding a page to see everything, and it definitely could help new users find communities

Thanks for your answer. It’s making sense to me. I do think this kind of thing might encourage more users to congregate on the large instances, but who knows, maybe it wouldn’t be that bad if we continue making a new large instance if one fills up. Like how we have lemmy.ml, and now filling lemmy.world, and lemmy.world has a good experience.

I also am not entirely sure too how exactly the posts get populated, because I’m visiting some communities I added on that smaller server only a day ago, but it does show some posts from 7- 9 days ago (they don’t have any new comments or anything), so yeah maybe I also don’t completely understand how it works still. I added this one to the server I’m on - lemmy.studio - and I think I only added it today, but it’s showing some from a few days ago: https://lemmy.studio/c/[email protected]/data_type/Post/sort/Active/page/1

I don’t know, I’m thinking they are probably about the same. Even though I’m trying both lemmy and kbin, I’m on a large kbin server and on a small lemmy server. I think that can make a bigger difference for the ignorant (me) than lemmy vs kbin. It can get kind of complicated to do some basic tasks, and I think it’s good if these aggregators can make it easier to do.

For Kbin, I am liking the way they organize my feed, but I think you can customize your filter/sort on lemmy to do the same. Plus they have the android mobile app Jerboa, so I’m sure the experience for the feed can be good (don’t have to keep resetting the filter the way I’m doing on browser [since I dont have an android phone])

Definitely feel free to make these accounts though :) It’s been cool, like a big experiment to make these two accounts. I have one on lemmy.studio and kbin.social
