Awesome welcome to kbin!
@Gamers_Mate
Thanks! I'm migrating from reddit and so far kbin looks like a good alternative
There are some really great apps being created as we speak that are inspired by Apollo, etc. It's a great time to be here and we are about to be a part of an awesome journey together!
Welcome! Also, your cat is wearing a great looking tuxedo!
We will watch your career with great interest...
mine was telling some guy to get the steamdeck. Yay capitalism!

Imagine the people who had Kbin accounts before the whole reddit debacle. They will be the true OGs of Kbin.
You mean the ancients? Rumor has it that they have always been here.
I heard they were created by the code itself
They built this place and now we just use the ~~gate~~ federated system for ourselves.
@Terevos What is that a reference to?

This is the way.
This is the way.
This is the way.
We can't collapse comments on kbin yet.
If we do great big long chains of "this is the way" we're going to make a real mess.
There was a tampermonkey script developed to collapse comments. Not perfect but definetly recommend.
Thanks!

And, next year, the first day of the Reddit blackout will be a massive cake day here in Kbin!
That whole week really.
I know people who made accounts one or two days beforehand because they correctly predicted that the wave of signups would cause issues. And I know people who waited till after Reddit made it clear that they weren't going to be changing their plan.
Anyone anywhere now if they were still there in a few years would be considered a veteran..
troopers of the cloudflare incident 🫡
Left kbin for a few days till that cloudflare thing was sorted out. Glad it's all running smoothly now.
I guess now I get to feel what the pioneering Redditors felt after the digg migration, and it's exciting!
I joined kbin when cloudflare was enabled and was still having lots of fun. Imagine my excitement when it actually started federating.
Me too. It was mindblowing logging in expecting my usual cloudflare/errors experience and seeing all these people!
Cloudflare verifier, chiming in 😅
Didn't create an account till after it was sorted out though
I've been a member for 2 whole weeks. I'm pretty OG at this point.
I'm used to that. Been a veteran of Livejournal, Tumblr, Twitter, LibraryThing... I'm just sad I didn't get my Mastodon veteran badge.
+1 on the mastodon point. i remember hearing about it all those years ago and being a little skeptical, but then when i finally checked it out last year it was SO good. love that place.
i saw a brilliant toot that perfectly captures how i feel about the fediverse: "I like a small indie coffee shop where the coffee is better and you can always find a seat, and it's not full of crying babies."

Congrats with the veteran status 😆
Congrats to you as well.
kbin is so new that we managed to snatch the domain kbin.dk and create Denmark's first kbin instance 😁
What about us wandering Lemmings?
Today when I was browsing with my lemmy account I saw a commenter that had a cake icon, they had joined two years ago.
Lemmings are round and cute!

If it survives,
I can't even post on my own magazine without errors popping up, my thread not showing until 4 to 8 hours later, and now that there's duplicates of the thread, I try to delete them, and it just gives errors...
Haven't been able to post or delete anything in days.

You know how you sometimes stumble acros comments on reddit with insiders or short hype from 10 years ago?
I came to peace with the fact that this will be the poop situation right now. The first kbin/lemmy insider...
the poop situation
I remember that poop post on asklemmy, it's already achieved legendary status I think lol
Hello world!
Important part is to get as many bug fixes and improvements done for the next wave, the API outage on the 1st of July.
I'm keen to get through as many PRs as possible and get new tweaks and features out to improve the experience for all the new mates that are going to migrate over
❤️🦙
