due to the rolling blackout… I think it’s had its effect.

I think I am done with reddit.

it’s a shame because as someone who doesn’t use Facebook it was nice to have a sense of local community I otherwise don’t get online.

I still think besides the few odd regulars who brought the vibe down every chance they could, it was a genuinely great subreddit.

anyway, I’m just curious how many of you are well and truly done with reddit? not even going back for a peak?

    I’m in the process of understanding this Fediverse. Trialing Lemmy also but the login is unbearable. Can’t even get into my account. I’ve already created one.

      Kbin is way better than lemmy, i never understood why lemmy took off better than kbin. Also devs of lemmy are shady people that censor info especially regarding ukraine

        Lemmy is much easier to setup, hence the larger number of instances. It’s also less resource intensive to run.

        Kbin’s performance, especially initially, was pretty terrible-- with the cloudflare ddos protection on top of general lagginess. It still feels clunkier and slower.

        It looks nicer and seems more…polished? (Don’t know the right word) but it’s also more confusing. I don’t understand the microblog verse threads vs magazines tbh.

      Had the same problem. Check your emails spam folder for an account verification email. Follow that and you should be good to log in. They could do with some better/any error messages to let users know this is the problem instead of an infinite spinning wheel.
