I like to thing we all are sons of the Fediverse. πŸ˜‡

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

One big Fedmily

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

"Sons of the Fediverse" sounds like a cult.

All hail the Fediverse then.

[–] menemen 1 points 2 years ago

Brother in Fed, how are you doing on this fine day under the light of the Fediverse?

[–] vegasq 37 points 2 years ago

What are you doing step-lemmy?

I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

Could mean 1 of 2 things:

  1. Kbin is so good that even though there is little content and wonky lemmy federation, people still go there.
  2. Lemmy content is so good no matter where you are, you don't want to miss anything.

You pick ;)

[–] WhoRoger 21 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I guess it's both. Met a lot of kbin people in the past few days, so I went to check how this here looks from there. Kbin interface + Lemmy content seems like the best of both worlds, but the interoperability is pretty broken, sadly.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

The default Lemmy interface is not great but that will change. Already quite a few nicer themes out. It's early days. :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Personally, I'm here for the interface. I tried getting into Lemmy. It was unnecessarily arcane, and unnecessarily arcane things usually don't prosper in these scenarios.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Eh. Did you see what Reddit looked like in 2010 compared to Digg?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why not both?

And why not Zoidberg?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

July 24th is the date they're releasing the new season if Futurama and I think about it once a day.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

What what WHAAAAAAAAT!
Are you fr about this?

Edit: well snap! It's true! Thanks kind Internet stranger! You just made my summer! Sucks it's on Hulu though. I was just about to cancel that service.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

there's gonna be a new season of Futuramaβ€½

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Thank you for the great, no, good news everyone!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Only reason I picked kbin was because of the interface. No offense, but lemmy seems a little janky at the moment. But it doesn't matter, we're all here anyway.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Federation is no more wonky than between regular Lemmy instances in my experience. I've had issues with both at times.
It was only for a few days when the Reddit protest started that federation was barely working at all, it's been mostly fine for quite a while now!

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The fediverse wars, begun they have.

[–] WhoRoger 31 points 2 years ago

Nah just friendly jabbing.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

It's not much of a war when the whole point is that they can interact with each other transparently.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I use kbin to VIEW Lemmy content because I prefer the responsiveness and the UI a bit more than Lemmy itself. But choices are good!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is something that I don't quite get because Kbin doesn't even have an option to collapse comments, are there are any other things that you think Kbin does better than Lemmy? I also don't like how the thumbnails are stretched for image posts, and that images open on a second page load instead of inline. The lemmy experience in 0.17 was a bit messy with webhooks, but 0.18 is much better (check lemmy.ml for an instance running 0.18).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I kinda prefer that look honestly with the stretched boxes and thumbnails. Collapse comments is nice on Lemmy but I found that when i was upvoting or refreshing it seemed to lag and take a few seconds. Maybe that’s fixed I’ll go check it out!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Right? I don't care where the content comes from. That's the great thing about the fediverse.

[–] WhoRoger 4 points 2 years ago

I can see that, but from my end it's a bit problematic for the time being :/

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The homepage for kbin is a lot better at sorting active posts. I prefer it on this end πŸ‘

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

New update seems to have improved active/ hot on Lemmy

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

I browse on desktop, therefore at this point in time, I use kbin. All other UIs I've found in the fediverse are pretty bad by comparison. Way too much garbage on the screen on most of them, and lemmy.world has an auto-updating scroll that you can't disable that I suspect is also a memory leak.

[–] scrimbingus 15 points 2 years ago

lemmy.world has an auto-updating scroll that you can’t disable that I suspect is also a memory leak.

The auto-updating should be gone in Lemmy 0.18, but lemmy.world is waiting for 0.18.1 to update so they can keep sign-up captcha. Should only be a couple of days, from what I've read.

[–] DharkStare 3 points 2 years ago

I'm pretty sure it is. I've heard several people mention that their browser tab will crash if they leave it open. When I'm done browsing, I'll leave it on my profile page and haven't had any problems.

Currently stuck with Lemmy, gonna move as soon as I manage to package kbin for YunoHost

[–] Soullioness 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why are you going to move? Genuinely curious.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The software stack seems more stable, the web interface is better and more flexible, and the development team seems more sound than Lemmy's. Heck I could potentially drop my Akkoma and PeerTube accounts entirely as well.

[–] Soullioness 1 points 2 years ago

You can watch peer tube on kbin?

AFAIK kbin is just Lemmy+Mastodon mixed into a weird combo so yeah, it just acts like another Lemmy instance for the most part

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Kbin has quite a few of its own posts but a lot is from Lemmy and mastodon, yeah. From my perspective, Lemmy acts like another kbin instance!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Personally that's the appeal for me! Once they add following hashtags I think I'll move over to kbin and toss my Mastadon and Lemmy accounts so I only have to manage a single login
