God what a mess. The only people left employed by Reddit at this rate will be the managers lol.

Check out Hetzner, you can get a very powerful dedicated server for under that budget.

I’ve done my part!

We have m/LiminalSpaces here on kbin! Although not much in it due to the young age.

This will download your own content! https://github.com/aliparlakci/bulk-downloader-for-reddit

You have magazines such as m/Musicproduction but currently empty due to the age of the site. I think most niche mags will be like that until we start filling them with content and they get discovered by users.

Yeah very true but I suppose those are just anagrams and each sub has their own in a lot of ways. The user experience of ‘Front Page’, ‘Subreddits’ and how to subscribe to them and navigate the site is what I was referring to.

You can get scripts that will edit all your comments before deleting them.

I think the biggest thing that I didn’t really notice at first was just how Reddit ‘works’. It was very much ‘what you see is what you get’ and didn’t really take much to figure out how to use it.

With anything new though there’s a learning curve and after 24 hours or so on kbin, I’m starting to figure out how this and the wider Fediverse works and it’s feeling more and more like home.

Also Reddit is also 18 years old (in a few days) and has 52million+ users so there’s obviously more content. As this platform grows it will be easier to get the content you want but at the moment it’s going to take some work from the user to search for magazines and contribute.

I’m quite new to all of this so don’t take my word as gospel but I agree with you. Earnest, the ‘admin’ of this instance has said he’s working on getting the stability of kbin taken care of so it’s only going to get better as time passes.

It’s having an explosion of new users, magazine creation and general activity so it’s probably going to take some time to catch up and upgrade accordingly.

Things have been hit and miss for the last day or so in terms of viewing other communities on other instances. You may find that in a few hours it’s showing posts when browsing from kbin, I’m seeing other ones that were empty now starting to show posts and comments.

Yeah very true, I think the main reason for this is the ratio of lurkers to contributors has always been so high. So until mags start getting more subscribers things might stay that way.

Although, I’ve found there was no InternetIsBeautiful mag so I went ahead and made it and have started to post on it when I can, attempting to drive some traffic to it and start some discussions at the very least.

I think we’ll need to be the change we want to see and just start posting and commenting as much as possible!

As more magazines are created doing this will become much easier too! That’s if you’re keeping things local, of course. I personally am going through and subscribing to the equivalent magazines to the subreddits I had.
