Squabbles is now Squabblr (kbin.social)
Just an FYI about another Reddit alternative. New URL, too. I think they decided to change the name to avoid a copyright issue.
It appears that all the lawyers have been sacked by Spez too - PullPush threatened legal action from Reddit over API access (forum.pullpush.io)
On Coining a New Term (kbin.social)
Edit: alright I'm sticking this up here because a number of people seem confused--this post isn't trying to convince you that "fediverse" is a bad term--rather it's a discussion of why I think "threadiverse" is a good umbrella term, for the forum-based part of the fediverse specifically.

"It's the content, stupid." - Quick Notes to Supercharge K.Bin (kbin.social)
Like you, I'm a passionate user of K.Bin but lately, I'm noticing that things are getting kinda stale around here. The most recent thread in this, the top-level magazine on K.Bin, is 4 days old. Many other top 25 magazines are also suffering from a similar lack of fresh content. I run /m/scifi and it's been continuing to grow...

Infinity for reddit will stop working on August 30th. If you still have an account try to get someone to migrate (be nice about it) (lemmy.zip)

How about participating in /r/Place and promoting the fediverse? (kbin.social)
Could we get all the former subreddit mods who migrated to lemmy/kbin to unite and make some promo for lemmy/kbin on /r/place?
With all the migration caused by the downfall of reddit/twitter i feel this Essay brings a nice insight to the table, long but worthy read. (catvalente.substack.com)
the feeling of dredd i’ve had (and i bet many are with me) since reddit announced the changes to the API and elon bought twitter, has been perfectly represented in this essay. Once again we migrate from a place where we built a community, because a bunch of greedy assholes can’t fathom a world where people embrace human...
PSA: anyone still looking to protest, promote fediverse, any form of rebellion ON REDDIT, the place to do it is r/pics. you can post anything with basically no censorship. as long as you mention John Oliver somehow, the mods aren't going to bother you! (kbin.social)
r/pics is wide open to all kinds of anti reddit posts, calls for spez to resign, whatever you want with the current rules right now....
Reddit down? (www.redditstatus.com)
Seems like Reddit is experiencing issues at the moment, maybe a good time for more users to find their way to Lemmy communities?

How come there is very little Kbin SEO for individual posts? Also, what are tags/badges? (kbin.social)
Maybe someone smarter than me can explain things, but It's been about a month since I've started the process of creating a magazine to support the reddit/discord community I've helped mod for the past 4 years... but I've noticed that zero posts show up in google search....
How can I automate the process of deleting my remaining comments that scripts weren't able to delete by using the csv file received from my GDPR data request? (kbin.social)
I ran into the profile limit so no more comments show up, but they are still on reddit with the csv file having links to the ones that haven't been deleted. There's too much for me to do it manually so would appreciate help if there's some tool to automate the process.
Idea: Fediverse community/"subreddit" explorer (kbin.social)
A problem many have realized is that there are many /tech, /gaming etc. communities in different instances/servers. There is already https://fediverse.observer/ , so I think it wouldn't be too hard to make a service that periodically roams the fediverse, checks for example the last 100,000 submissions of each (or top 100 active...

It took a while but I finally got my Reddit data export (kbin.social)
It took several weeks but I finally got my Reddit data export for my account. If it wasn't already obvious, the direct messages there are not encrypted in any meaningful way. One interesting variable I found was in the file named "statistics", there's a variable named "is_deleted" which is set to false. This makes me wonder if,...
