OK so search has always sucked.
It has sucked especially in the New Reddit era.
Now, they have deployed the Even Newer Reddit user interface.

One of my biggest use cases of Reddit was "what are people in various communities talking about this particular video"?

In Old.Reddit, you could at least see crossposts in the unlikely case that the YouTube URL was somehow equivalent to the actual URL posted to Reddit. You know, because YouTube videos could be called upon by many requests, and Reddit fucking gave no shit about any URL normalisation.

But they at least let you see if anyone had crossposted shit.

Apparently, the New New User Interface fucking doesn't even let you do that. I tried searching for a particular video that was already posted in particular communities. Nothing.
Tried Google Search to find this particular thing. OK, found it.
Slapped "old." to it. "6 discussions."
That's it. Reddit was already shit at finding discussions about particular YouTube videos if you didn't use old.reddit. The new Reddit interface at least pretended the crossposts were there. Crossposts no longer are there. Why the fuck do people even follow the site any more.

My issue is on Mobile is the past is long as hell breaking down the mechanics of something I can’t even view the full thing and I refuse to use the app. I’ve tried tapping scrolling and other things too.

Unfortunately, that's where all the content is. Things like this don't bother a lot of people — for example, discussion about YT videos wasn't something I ever used Reddit for — and as long as Reddit is the only platform providing what they're interested in, they're going to stay.

The Unofficial Kbin Guide is now available! https://unofficial-kbin-guide.surge.sh/
Let me know of any feedback, update requests, or corrections.

How do you mod in Kbin?
I can't find any tools for modding?

@ernest@kbin.social avatar

@OvergrownSkeleton more > moderate

The magazine also has its own panel, available if you are the owner.

TheArstaInventor ,
@TheArstaInventor@kbin.social avatar

@ernest Should be available for all moderators, owners should atleast have an optional option to enable that.

And what happened to the requesting subs function? When is that coming out?

@OvergrownSkeleton

millions ,

a few thousand people coming together to make the entirety of r/place say "FUCK SPEZ" at the end is insane but we all know they're just gonna go back to using reddit in like 20 minutes

It's like that ex partner that they're never over. Always talking of them. Always thinking of them. Always finding a reason to wind up back to them.

I made a Magazine called Photobiomodulation (https://kbin.social/m/photobiomodulation/) for the discussion of this topic on the Fediverse. I've left Reddit behind, and am recreating this community here.

Reddit removes years of chat and message archives from users' accounts

You might be able to get a copy of older messages from the data retrieval request.

This is probably cost reduction. I know they have a significant amount of redis. That’s all in-memory database storage.

Hello, we are migrating legacy chats to the new platforms and, unfortunately, only data for 2023 is replicated.

So they knew this would happen and still didn’t notify users in advance so they could save their message history?

Sound pretty on-brand for that shitwagon.

merlin ,

Just wanted to say that I love how people are using the upvote and downvote feature here as they don't seem to be used as agreement/disagreement but rather valuable or hindering to the conversation.

I really feel like I can express any opinion on here and start controversial discussions as long as I'm not malicious to anyone.
Disagreements are mostly stated in replies which promotes conversation and growth. There is currently no reason to be scared about being wrong.
I hope that this is not just a product of the smaller userbase compared to reddit but rather how upvotes/downvotes/boosts are laid out to the user.

Reddit account.....deleted. Kbin seems to have a better "signal to noise" ration IYKWIM

sndmn ,

So much “content” on reddit are the same 150 videos and pictures, endlessly reposted.

Threads vs microblogs?

Does anyone have any advice on whether to use or when you're looking to say, start a discussion about a topic on ? Is there an etiquette for what option is best? Or do people just pick depending on their mood (having a Twitter vs a Reddit sort of a day)?

WonkoTheSane ,

A thread is a Reddit equivalent and a microblog is a Twitter equivalent. So it really depends if you’re trying to start a discussion or just want to put something out there in my opinion

SzethFriendOfNimi ,

It can definitely be confusing. And kbin’s naming convention is confusing too.

EpicFailGuy ,
@EpicFailGuy@kbin.social avatar

What are we?

What do Lemmy users call themselves? What do Kbin users call themselves? What about Mast?

So far I can't come up with anything better than "Fediziens"

I saw someone recommending Aether aside from Lemmy and Kbin, what is it ? googling Aether give me...

"According to ancient and medieval science, aether, also known as the fifth element or quintessence, is the material that fills the region of the universe beyond the terrestrial sphere. "

so yeah..

@ikantolol@kbin.social avatar

@NormalTownLeader ah thanks, I thought it'd be like another link aggregator site.

cutitdown ,

@NormalTownLeader Hmm -- doesn't seem to me. They compare themselves to Reddit on their about page. I think it's just the fact that it is an app and has a similar layout to Discord that gives those vibes. The actual communities and posting style seem more Reddit/forum to me, or perhaps a hybrid of sorts.

yall should check out https://cytu.be/ I cant vouch for the community but its neat. Can anyone else recommend something similar?

xXGanondorfXx OP ,
@xXGanondorfXx@kbin.social avatar

@Quills its basically just chatrooms with synchronized video watching. I hate picking what to watch and i like to joke with other people about what we are watching. they also vote somehow but i haven't penetrated that far.

@Quills@sh.itjust.works avatar

Whoa, that seems like a cool concept, especially if they have invite only rooms to watch with friends and all

Well, had my content curated on Reddit and despised the recommendation stuff on the official app (that I never used lul). But now that I'm on a new platform, I want to have recommendations lol. The Random stuff on the sidebar's pretty neat, could've sworn Reddit has similar like 10 years ago.

Exilfranke ,

People expect to switch platforms and immediately have the same experience there is mind-blowing.

We all spent 10ish years (!) tailoring our experience on Reddit. It's no surprise that you can't replicate all of that within 2 weeks.

@Xperr7@kbin.social avatar

Oh, I'm well aware lol. Just having a bit of a chuckle at the irony .
