That’s it folks. RIF has stopped working.
Reddit is no longer fun.

    Welcome. It’s gonna take everyone’s effort to make KBIN fun. Upload content daily, and interact with other people’s content that you have something to say about. It’s gonna take effort from all of us.

      We need to quickly move past Reddit. We cannot be consumed by it or we will repel newcomers. This needs to become it’s own special place with it’s own character. It’ll take time. Be patient.

        Reddit is the big news right now. It is unrealistic to expect people to just forget it and ignore it. Same thing happened with the initial Digg migration to Reddit all those years ago. Once Reddit stops being news because it failed or things went back to normal, then we’ll stop talking about it.

        Okay, but for now all the “RIP Reddit” posts give migrating Reddit users a feeling of, “So this is where the other people like me went.”

        I agree. I like Lemmy, but it seems like nearly every post is about Reddit. Like someone always talking about their toxic ex they just broke up with.

        Also, whenever I try to look at only my subbed communities. I literally only see the memes community.

        I’ve been gently hounding the RIF dev to see if he’ll make a Kbin app, lol. Here’s to hoping!

          The problem the kbin has right now though is that it’s so new I don’t think an API exists yet. Even if it did, development is happening so rapidly that by the time you hammered out your app the API may have changed several times.

          We will eventually get our app, but kbin needs to grow as a website a little bit first.
