A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

One can follow Lemmy (and I presume Kbin, though that I have not tested myself) communities directly from any other fedi instance. For example, I am following [@technology](https://beehaw.org/c/techno (mstdn.social)

One can follow Lemmy (and I presume Kbin, though that I have not tested myself) communities directly from any other fedi instance. For example, I am following @technology directly from my account here.

Now that Lemmy/Kbin have become pretty active, this might be a decent way of getting new fedi users to have a better on-boarding experience.

Just suggest a few active communities to them, and bam, plenty of interesting stuff gets boosted into their timeline. 🤔

@rysiek @technology I heard about #kbin and tried loading https://kbin.social/ only to see the landing page of #cloudflare . Pretty disappointing. If people want to avoid the centralization of sites like reddit... well this is centralization on steroids.

@federico3 you can bet kbin.social is being hammered with insane traffic. Reddit about Kbin migration got banned and then un-banned, so Streisand effect iis at work.

There are other Kbin instances, though there are not many of them:

So people need to start setting up Kbin instances to spread the load. 🙂
