I got tired of waiting for someone to make it so I just did it myself.

@retroid

I got tired of waiting around for one of my favorite reddit communities to migrate over, so I just made the magazine myself. I'm actually pretty nervous about moderating a magazine, but might as well give it a try.

Feel free to come over and talk about Retroid stuff!

I have a Retroid Pocket 3+ and am looking for a controller to use while it’s plugged into the TV. I have been using an old Japanese DualShock 4, but the functions of the AY and BX buttons are swapped and there’s some intolerable input lag happening.

I hear the 8bitdo SN30 Pro is really good, but the Pro 2’s PlayStation-esque design appeals to me more. I just don’t know if there’s reason it’s not as recommended as the SN30 Pro.

Any recommendations? I’m open to anything.

Given today's revelations with Reddit's CEO and his sense of entitlement, I think there is a serious risk of losing our ability to bulk-change the text of our posts before removing our accounts, so I'd like to do this sooner than later.

Mine is a 9+ year account with a LOT of comments, so I want to make each one count.

In my text, I would like to mention:

• what the fediverse is
• what potential I believe it has over reddit
• a link for people to browse various KBin instances, and another for Lemmy (which links should I use?)

For the comment section below:

1. What text did you choose to replace your reddit posts with?
2. What tool did you use to do it? (How was the experience?)
3. What do you think about merely abandoning the account rather than deleting it so that reddit might be forced to remove it themselves? (I really don't mind deleting it at this point either, just looking for thoughts.)
4. Feel free to contribute any other thoughts related to the topic.

Thank you.

This is just a reiteration of a comment I left on an earlier, probably more useful article, but I’m posting as its own article for visibility. I hope it can help make sense of the fediverse to at least a few more of my fellow migrants.

Basically, rather than having one Reddit with a bunch of subreddits, you have a bunch of Reddits each with their own set of subreddits. Each Reddit operates with its own admin, features, UX, etc. so you just join any Reddit that feels good to you.

Let’s say you make your account on “Reddit.one” because not only do they have killer memes, they also have a dark mode!

What makes the fediverse so great is that you don’t have to worry that “Reddit.two” actually has a far more active r/gaming community than Reddit.one, or that “Reddit.three” has the only r/catsatwork subreddit on the fediverse, because you can actually just subscribe to those subreddits from Reddit.one anyway. Now you can have r/memes as well as r/[email protected] and r/[email protected] all in your feed at Reddit.one with dark mode on!
Some reddits even let you follow your favorite twitter personalities as well!

It would be like being able subscribe directly to 4chan’s /b/ and then follow elon musk’s Twitter account directly from Reddit and vice versa. I don’t know why you would actually want to do those terrible things, but you’d have the freedom to do it at least.

Now imagine if Reddit.one’s administrator goes all u/spez on everybody and you just can’t even anymore. You can easily jump ship over to Reddit.two, or any other Reddit you prefer, and resub to all your favorite subreddits again. it would be like you never left.

Hope this helps. Feel free to set me straight on some points or just post your own explanation in the comments.

TLDR: Lots of different Reddits. You join the Reddit you like, but you can subscribe to any of the other Reddits’ subreddits as well!
