  • Just a heads up, you’re using kbin which is a different “website” than lemmy. You are also seeing a thread that originated in lemmy. That means both kbin and lemmy can see each other’s content, but the website UI is different between them so if you read about some UI element and can’t find it in kbin that might be one of the reasons.

    That being said, kbin also has a sidebar with useful information. In the mobile site you can find it at the very bottom on the page, since it doesn’t fit to the side in such a small screen.




  • It is useful to have just 2 logins, one for kbin (or lemmy) and one for Mastodon (or Calckey).

    You can see content from Mastodon on kbin but it’s not the same experience since there’s no timeline, hashtag follow, etc. Similarly you can see threads from kbin in Mastodon but the UI is not very nice.

    For kbin and lemmy, different logins are not needed since they share the way they show information. So you can seamlessly browse lemmy content in kbin without worrying where it was originally posted.










  • You’re comparing two different things though. Of course I do not want to federate with Gab or Truth, however that is because I do not want to federate with their users. You are saying we should not federate with Meta, but because of their admins, not their users.

    Should we not federate with lemmy.ml because their admins are pro Russia? Or is there value in the interactions we can have with their users?

    Is there not a tiny possibility that the users Meta brings have a net positive effect over the admins in their instance? As I said, we still don’t know since we have literally no info about this product. You might be right in saying they will bring over hate speech and such, but I do not think every Booky McBookface will find their way to the Fediverse, and if they do THEN we can take a decision on federating with them or not.


  • I understand and share the negative sentiment towards them, but again, what it looks like they’re working on is a product that will connect to the Fediverse, it will not modify the ActivityPub protocol which is used for the open communication. From what I understand, any shenanigans they try to run would be limited to their instance, while we benefit from the added content they could provide.

    I’m not saying let’s welcome them with open arms, I’m just saying it would be good to wait until we know anything about the product before we rush any decision, in the name of growing the Fediverse.
