@fediverse Hi Fediverse! This is so much cooler than Reddit could dream.

Hiya back! 👋👋

tristar ,

Can’t wait for us Lemmings to be able to see and interact back with you guys from kbin

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"

Eddie ,

Lemmings, binnies, and dons. I declare it here and now

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.

AnalogyAddict ,

As a victim of domestic violence who has spent years online trying to help other victims, Reddit's act of undeleting several of my deleted comments just made me have to go through and manually delete. In the process, I had to relive a huge chunk of trauma.

I'm not feeling okay right now.

AnalogyAddict OP ,

@tenth

That's what I used the first time. I was hoping manually deleting them this time would make it stick. Thanks, though.

You know it's probably on page 1023 of the privacy policy. I think it's more to the point to ask, how do they think this is the right way to approach the problem they have?

All it's going to do is severely reduce the chance people will ever go back to that platform. I think with the response to the API changes, reddit was backed into a corner (in a corporate sense) and is now showing their true colours.

OvergrownSkeleton ,

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

ernest ,
@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?

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.

DrPop ,

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.

@umbraroze

Why the fuck do people even follow the site any more.

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.

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.

linearchaos ,
@linearchaos@lemmy.world avatar

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.

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 OP ,
@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

@Xperr7@kbin.social avatar

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 .

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

A lot of people are boasting here like "well I just deleted my 15+ year account with quintillion karma."

I'm not going to delete my account yet (but probably won't be posting anything on Reddit either). Instead, I came up with a Strange Hobby.

Because password managers are so ubiquitous and easy to use and everyone should use one, I somehow found a complete list of all Reddit throwaway accounts I had over the years. (You know, from back when you could create accounts in seconds and Reddit didn't make you sign a blood pact or whatever.)

So I've been deleting those accounts. There was a pile of them.

And I like to every time I delete an account, a little siren goes off in Reddit HQ and Spez is like "Aaaaagggh! Not another one!"

collegefurtrader ,

If ass pennies were reddit accounts

btaf45 ,

"well I just deleted my 15+ year account with quintillion karma."

Your account only had a quintillion karma? My account had a sextillion karma.

Chozo ,

Reddit admins appear to be removing links to Lemmy instances posted in comments.I'm seeing quite a few "[Removed by Reddit]" comments in /r/RedditAlternatives this evening. Anybody else seeing their comments being manipulated by Reddit staff today?

l-rs ,

@Chozo Huffman is really taking all the cues from his hero Musk. Halving the valuation, alienating loyal developers and a core set of users and stifling freedom of information on the internet.

@Dark_Blade@lemmy.world avatar

lol they’re fucking terrified. Internally, they know they screwed the pooch.

Too bad though, the news is all over the internet.

cde ,

If you're nuking your old reddit content, this might be important. For me, the reddit history visible on the website was far less comprehensive than the API could access.

As a 10+ year redditor, I would sometimes go back through my profile and delete stale or irrelevant content. Deciding to try a faster approach this week, I installed Redact (available at redact dot dev, or on the Google Play store). It lets you bulk delete, or preview things first, which I wanted to do in case there was anything worth preserving.

When scanning posts/comments, it first says it's sorting by new, then hot, then controversial.

The "new" results were the same as I could see on my profile, but then the "hot" and "controversial" scans found page after page of comments that I couldn't see on my u/ page. There were 50 results per page, and I didn't keep an accurate count, but I removed at least 1000 comments, mostly from 2013-2018, via the API.

No idea how many people this could help, so it seemed like a worthwhile first post on kbin.

(Also, hello!)

wolfshadowheart ,
@wolfshadowheart@kbin.social avatar

I used the old powerdeletesuite script to edit the comments, it worked for most of them.

I just posted a similar story and a kind soul led me to your post. My story correlates well enough with yours.
