Alive and well as @Gamera8ID@kaijus.us!

If “master” unintentionally made some people uncomfortable then there’s no harm in changing the default, since you can modify it if you choose.

Thanks. My job’s gotten busier since I bought my DS412+ and it’s been sitting virtually unused for awhile. I’m hoping someone can provide directions that are just a step above “click to install” because I’m (too busy/too lazy/too clueless <-- pick one) to DIY it.

There’s a comprehensive list of Lemmy apps being curated here.

My personal recommendation is https://wefwef.app.

Have you tried https://wefwef.app?

Very helpful. Thanks!

Maybe https://www.khanacademy.org?

This is helpful, thanks.

It doesn’t cost you anything to sign up for, so give it a try.

The main cost is time, to understand the platform and to find community. I created a Kbin account, but I don’t see myself having the time to be divided between Kbin and Lemmy so I’m hoping not to have to maintain both.

Kbin federates with Lemmy - so users can engage in each other’s posts.

This gives me hope. So is it basically just a different UI? This is where my understanding of the fediverse breaks down.

Can you elaborate?

I read that Kbin defederated with Lemmy because it couldn’t initially handle the influx of new users migrating from Reddit, but that it has federated again.

So is it a Lemmy instance, like Beehaw?

I know that Kbin doesn’t use communities (“/c/”) but uses magazines (“/m/”) so I thought it was different.

I also read that there was some new way to post to Lemmy from Mastadon, but I thought those were different, like Reddit and Twitter. But they both rely on something called “ActivityPub”?

So is Kbin similar to Lemmy (by being Reddit-like), but distinct like Mastadon (which is Twitter-like)?

I didn’t have a Twitter account, but was a heavy Reddit user. I don’t have a Mastadon account, but I’m liking Lemmy. However I have some FOMO about Kbin because I don’t understand how it all works together.
