Enjoyed the begining of the game, but the cancer story line was way to depressing. Not fun at all. If I could give it 0 stars I would. Would not recommend.
I always thought a sequel where the roles are reversed and Fred Savage is reading to an ailing Peter Faulk would have been a great way to start a sequel.
One of the saddest parts of an #opensource maintainer's life is having to reject PRs, sometimes thousands of lines long, for no better reason than "this is not the project's direction right now and it will interfere with what we're working on".
I don't know where the "write code first ask questions later" approach came from, but I really wish we'd communicate with each other more. The fallout of not doing so isn't fun for anyone.
@imsnif in some (many?) cases the feature in the PR is going to be written regardless of whether a maintainer wants it or not because that's the feature some paid them to add or their personal project/side hustle needed. What many contributors are hoping is someone else maintains and improves the feature as the project moves forward so they don't have to maintain a fork.
/kbin is certainly not dying, as @fr0g pointed out, work on new features and bug fixes is ongoing. However, it may give the impression that it is, and for that, I take full responsibility and owe you an explanation....
You might reach out to https://indieweb.social/@dries. He's talked openly about some of the challenges his project has had scaling and less openly about how personally he takes it when he can't solve problems with the project/contributor community. Drupal is a very mature community that has been able to foster a lot of trust between longtime contributors. What you've accomplished with Kbin already is amazing. Give yourself time to figure out how to delegate in a way that works for you. Focus on finding the right people and process over an arbitrary date.
I didn't delete my account and still read https://www.reddit.com/r/drupal/, but I only comment when I think the user would have better luck posting to https://kbin.social/m/drupal or https://kbin.social/m/php. The Kbin version of the Drupal community only has 50 subscribers, but some articles get the same number of upvotes/favorites on Kbin as they do on Reddit now. Drupal users have their own Mastodon instance at https://drupal.community/ and the founder/lead of the project is active on https://indieweb.social/@dries, so it doesn't take much to convince that community to move the conversation to an open, ActivityPub based platform.
So I created a magazine (which is similar to a subreddit, correct?) - what now? How do I even find my own? They don't show anywhere in my profile nor do I see any moderator tools, etc.
@acunasdaddy you can find magazines by searching from https://kbin.social/magazines. The Articles posted to the magazines you subscribe to show up in your feed. Microblogs are just aggregate content from the Fediverse. The moderation tools are limited, but what exists can be found by clicking the Magazine Panel button.
All of Kbin is very much a work in progress. A lot of things work as expected. Some don't. Be patient and pay it forward by helping others figure this out when you can.
So is Kbin. Both projects use the AGPL license, but Kbin is a PHP/Symfony based solution while Lemmy is primarily a Rust backend with a Typescript front end. If someone is going to run an instance or contribute to the code, they are likely going to choose the stack that they are most familiar with.
With a lot of #Drupal experience, the Kbin code is very approachable for me... but as other commenters have already said... whatever floats your boat.
The Kbin and Lemmy projects aren't competing as much with each other as the ActivityPub driven communities are competing with the walled gardens.
If you were to give feedback to the Devs of "Life", what would you say?

✨ What is your favorite thing about kbin? ✨ (kbin.social)
Here are mine! A handful of things come to mind right away, but there are plenty more:...
Is Kbin dying? I wanted to address the deleted thread and provide some insight into the current situation. (kbin.social)

How do scripts work, and how can I be sure they are safe? (kbin.social)
I keep seeing recommendations for scripts, but I’m not eager to just start installing a bunch of random stuff on my phone.
Be patient! We'll get there eventually. (kbin.social)
I see a lot of comments pointing out bugs and saying something along the lines like "they need to fix this ASAP, otherwise... something something"....
