Is there a way to find subchannels- er, "magazines" so I can subscribe to what interests me? The search bar kind of blows for finding magazines.
Reddit Migration
### About Community Tracking and helping #redditmigration to Kbin and the Fediverse. Say hello to the decentralized and open future. To see latest reeddit blackout info, see here: https://reddark.untone.uk/

Only lemmy communities. Seems to rank according to number of comments.
https://kbin.social/magazines
All magazines from this particular instance.
What I did was just browsing threads from "all" and subscribing to magazines from there (and also blocking others).
Fully agree with every word.
Agreed, I‘m actually on somewhat of an upvoting and commenting spree and creating accounts on all sorts of instances. I know I can move around too, but with defederating being a thing I prefer multiple accounts. Kbin so far visually is the nicest to me and it loads super fast!
@BasicallyClean It's an interesting take on how to accellerate a migration. And I hope to see it work and for kbin to grow.
Thank you!
The fiercest way to get back at Reddit and u/spez is to make the Fediverse succeed.
Agreed about the mirror of posts. Even if the engagement isn't as high yet, if people at least feel they can get the rough news feed they are used to, they'll more likely jump over
Kbin needs quite a few UX improvements, speaking as a designer/photographer
I don't know anything about development though
Por que no los dos
I much prefer building up Lemmy over Kbin.
Okay, I've been trying to understand this for the last hour and I finally thought I did, but maybe not? Can someone tell me where I'm going wrong in this?
A magazine (or any type of group) can post to a federated site and it will replicate the data to all other federated sites. Kbin and all the Lemmy sites are federated so we share the same data right? It's just accessing it from a different server with a different UI.
Basically, yeah. Whether something is a Mastodon post, or a Calckey note, or a PixelFed picture, or a PeerTube video, they're all encapsulated using the same formatting guidelines, and so every one of these platforms can share and view the same content.
And they share this content via mirroring.
So long as they're passing content back and forth, growing any one site or any platform contributes to them all.
I much prefer they build to be 100% interoperable and people just choose what they like
