#3 …love the depth of field effect

Thanks!

i guess i need to exercise more patience after these updates to allow things to settle down :)

i would not have found this federated alternative if not for the protest.

i, for one, am glad to not have to put up with the ever increasing ads, the constant “install reddit app” popup, the crappy “new” interface (vs the “old”… which i continued to use)…

Remains to be seen how the post June 30 impact to mobile apps and the mod community shapes up. But the drive to further monetize the platform for the IPO is the writing on the wall afaiac.

Yes, the federated user base is still in its infancy… but quality over quantity :)

Searching on “active” magazines often indicates at the bottom of the webpage that there are several search webpage results.

Attempting to go to a subsequent page always yields the “first” page results.

kbin magazines can be retrieved as an rss feed – at the bottom of the magazine’s web page is the recognizable “rss icon” which contains the url of the rss feed (the icon near the top for lemmy community web pages). i use these rss urls with my miniflux aggregator to group kbin/lemmy magazines/communities into more digestible subject categories – very useful during this early period when there are multiple magazines for the same topic.

As nice as the kbin webpage looks, even tweaked with the appropriate userscripts, i prefer browsing topics with the minimalistic category oriented UI of miniflux (which works both on the desktop and the mobile device).

Interesting… not surprising the majority don’t care. (Admittedly, i only put up with reddit until now because i wasn’t aware of the alternatives which the latest foofaraw revealed).

i’ve fully migrated to kbin (replaced my reddit feeds with kbin rss feeds into miniflux for a completely transparent migration… like nothing ever happened, except the noise went down along with toxicity and no intrusive ads).

Glad to be here with people who care about their discussion platform.
