Squabbles seems to have not hit user critical mass. Tildes looks like it's doing well.

The Lemmy + Kbin fediverse seems to be taking off like a rocket and has the best overall chance IMO of becoming the home for the best parts of Reddit's community.

I'm probably skipping some steps, but lowtax banning hentai drove the weebs to 4chan, and 8chan. 8chan was the home for all the "Q" posts that started Qanon which riled up the Republican base and led to the Jan 6 insurrection

It will. I've been on Reddit 16+ years and I have no itch to return or reopen the app. Meanwhile I'm getting nothing done for work because I have Mastodon, kbin, and lemmy open. The sticky/addictive power is here already.

You sound like a good person who returns their shopping cart

I want to add, that my wife has been a "scab" throughout all this and has been active on reddit, trying to show me memes and such.

The content she's been showing me has been stale, old stuff I saw back in 2020. Same recycled jokes, same memes. Reddit is in a mode of hard cope right now and I doubt it gets better if we don't return.

My mom's gonna be so mad her propaganda Trump memes are gone

re Squabbles: yes, hard agree.

re Tildes: yes, also hard agree. The invitation-only method of growing the community also is draconian and it's going to hit all the scaling problems a traditional site does.

These and others are why you're finding me with you here in the fediverse. I am with you mi beratna.

Lying and pretending to know something who's actually a complete stranger to them

When the stranger is a drunk woman in distress clearly trying to get away from a predator.

We are the Federati

This kind of stuff is exactly what the fediverse needs. Great work!

But it's scary

There's also [email protected]

Holy shit, thank you!

Reddit back then was like a blend of what content we're seeing on the "chat" communities here on Lemmy, and what Hacker News is today. It was much more technology oriented, and much less topical.

Subreddits existed, but ones for smaller fandoms and narrowly focused meme formats did not.

1. paste the full target url in search from lemmy, e.g. https://kbin.social/m/Utah
2. now it's available at [email protected]

[email protected] is the creator of kbin and admin of kbin.social

And yes that user probably thought the comment above them was also on kbin

"search"

... "also search" 🤣

You're not wrong. There needs to be slightly better/more informative marketing that your communities are accessible from anywhere, and locale of the server doesn't matter.

People are joining lemmy.world before they learn/understand they can access communities from any federated node (which is nearly everything except beehaw)

surprising absolutely nobody....

My wife is also a scab sticking to reddit. Unfortunately, a good reason for doing so is that a lot of the niche woman-oriented subs she's on don't exist in the fediverse yet.
