How's resource usage? I hear kbin is heavy on RAM

thanks for the list of the kbin instances! Hopefully we can migrate our accounts someday. Joining kbin.social at first has been helpful to me to not have to go through that growing pain of not being able to see many communities/magazines

okay the only thing is, I'm not sure if it's a good idea to keep making instance names that don't start with kbin.___ because then if kbin/lemmy really do take off, it would be so hard to google search for them. You can't do the site:kbin.* search if those instances with different names make magazines/communities and you can't find them with that google filter

I would welcome them to mod my community with open arms ! I hope we see some of them come over

It will be an interesting time for sure. I hope it can work out in a way that skilled moderators can be compensated for their efforts. It seems like donation-supported instances for niche communities isn't too unrealistic right now, though that doesn't solve the volunteer labor problem. Cleverer things will probably become possible as the technology improves.

Instance based communities sound really interesting until it comes to the matter of an instance needing to be shut down. I hope the portability factor of Lemmy gets better, because that's an easy way to lose tons of valuable informarion.

That's already the case, e.g. lemmy.dbzer0.com

We beleive in second chance here so welcome !

Arrrrrr, there needs be some rock breaking

Exactly. Capitalist platforms will all suffer from enshitification. They will eventually have to make money, and users are products. Their shareholders will eventually force the platforms to extract money from their users.

They are still coming through!

You’ll get a couple but they’re usually super temporary 503s so it just feels like the Reddit of yore

That's excellent to hear! I've been following the progress of KBin closely. The big thing I'm waiting for is mobile apps

Do we have a magazine for new words?)

Lots of people take issue with the political leanings of the Lemmy developers which may be why it's lower on the list, although I agree that it is more established.

In any case, that's the beauty of the fediverse. Create an account on both, or choose just one and cross-subscribe to communities you like.

I find it to be a way better solution than Lemmy for various reasons.
