Interesting, I thought it was just an abbreviation of the original Polish site, karab.in (which would also explain why 'subreddits' are called magazines, karabin = rifle). Either way, that's pretty seamless inspiration.
I'm not a pre-migration keebinetter, but wanted to point out that kbin was published as a very early version of itself about a month ago by the user /u/ernest, Might not find many pre-migration keebinetters.
I'd wager keeping our narwhals and bacons out of this is probably a good first step? I'm here to join Kbin not turn Kbin into reddit 2.0. Hope we can get some real feedback on this one from people who have been here for a minute. lol
To some extent, but I agree with @ski. I was on Reddit pre-Digg and did my fair share of baconing at midnight with France. But that said, I don't really want Reddit 2.0.
To agree with you, though, @NumbersCanBeFun, I think we can show Reddit that we don't need their platform by creating something new and unique here that fits our needs. The fediverse is a pretty cool place, and we can create a section the way we want it. Let's make it awesome on our own terms, not beholden to any ideas of "how things have always been done".
How about when people actually followed reddiquette for the most part? Reddit really did use to have a cozy feel to it. Big enough that there was something for everyone, but not so big that you never saw the other parts of the site.
It's been super refreshing to have some change, before I'd check comments on Reddit I could generally guess the top 3 comments and be right almost always. Take into account that sometimes things get crossposted and reposted and it starts to show you how unoriginal it all can be.
How do I search kbin to find communities on Lemmy instances? For the life of me, all I can find are the local kbin magazines. They're great, but I'm newer here and already started participating in communities on beehaw and other instances. I'd like to be able to keep up with those communities too.
Honestly, the redundancy is looking like it's going to be a problem. There's a technology community of some sort on every instance for example. solarpunk, futurology etc.
Anyway, if someone knows the magic syntax where I can find and subscribe to these communities from kbin, I'd really appreciate it!
Edit: I'm an idiot. It looks like all you have to do is search for the right term. IOW, like Technology. So it's not likely that you'll find the exact same community if you don't know the correct community name or a partial name. There's no browsing of a Lemmy instance from what I can tell. Plus, I was using mobile until today. I think on my phone, the location of the community was truncated, so I had no idea that I'd already found the other communities I was already taking part in.
