While most of the people here upset and rightfully so, we have got to move past the angst to actually build this place out.
We have to recreate the environment and communities we’ve created on on Reddit here, so that people don’t feel like they’re missing out being on kbin.
That way, the next time Spez goes full Elon, we already have everything in place to make the jump.
I help run r/MMA on Reddit. We aggregate news as well as bringing on MMA figures for AMAs.
We, like many other magazines here, will need a way to quickly aggregate breaking news onto our magazine, and the easiest way to do that is going to be through a bot that mirrors submissions to our subreddit.
At least for the mags that rely on breaking news, if we implement this at scale, the end user wont be missing much by migrating over here if they get all the same great breaking news.
Do we have any bot builders in the house who could take this on as a project?
We would be leveraging Reddit’s own userbase at scale to better kbin, and eventually beat them in the long run. That’s the biggest L we could ever deal them.
EDIT: WASN’T SURE THIS WAS GONNA BLOW UP. IVE MADE https://kbin.social/m/BotIt FOR DEVELOPMENT. IF YOU’RE INTERESTED AND CAN HELP OR JUST WANT TO FOLLOW THE PROJECT, COME ON OVER. THANKS.
people on lemmy can subscribe to kbin magazines and comment (like I am now, from lemmy, hi!)
and people on kbin can subscribe to lemmy communities and comment there as well
I’m also fairly certain that Mastodon users can post to kbin/lemmy by replying to the magazine/community names
Can you help me a bit with that? I have created a magazine on kbin(using kbin account of course), but I can’t find it/follow it from Lemmy. I am following a few kbin magazines, but for some reason I can’t find mine
it is hit-or-miss right now, I think due to servers being overloaded
I can find/subscribe to some kbin magazines from lemmy but not others
basically just try to search for the magazine from lemmy > communities > search box with the name like !magazinename@instance.url and hope for the best, hopefully things stabilize soon
burgersc’s recommendation (pasting the url into the search bar) worked for me.
I tried that a few days ago and it wasn’t working, but just tried again with a troublesome magazine and it worked this time!
I was a bit confused by this for a while. I’m using Lemmy as well and I was wondering where all this kbin content was coming from. It’s pretty cool that there isn’t a divide between the fediverse server types. So much so that for users interoperability can be accidental
