What are some kbin or Lemmy alternatives to common Reddit subs?
I’ll certainly miss r/unexpected, r/guitarlearning, r/damnthatsinteresting, r/historymemes and many more
Hopefully this can turn into a useful thread for everyone looking to replace Reddit with a close enough experience, and maybe even a better one once it gains traction
Here are some I have found:
- m/TodayILearned
- m/showerthoughts
- m/mechanicalkeyboards
- Memes@lemmy.ml
- Gaming@beehaw.org
- Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml
- Rust Programming@lemmy.ml
- Technology@beehaw.org
Once federation is turned back on, will the magazine list show the federated magazines and their subscriber count too? Or is that list local to this instance only?
It only shows the subscribers that belong to this instance. But yes, every federated magazine will be shown.
Maybe this doesn’t matter, but if magazines are unique between instances, how will we know if we are patronizing the most active magazine? E.g., Lemmy has, I dunno, @factorio, and Kbin has @factorio, is there an easy way to tell which one is more active?
Further, I saw a diagram floating around that suggested that magazines between different instances of Kbin are also unique. E.g., @factorio @kbin.social is unique from @factorio @fedia.io? Isn’t that the same fragmentation as accessing different forums?
Wouldn’t mind an ELI5.
