the sorting algorithms definitely need some work, I try to use ‘Hot’ but it constantly shows me posts from 1+ year ago
and multi-reddits were the only way I used that site once the feature was created so that would be a very welcome addition to lemmy!
anytime I saw a thread on reddit with 1,000+ comments I didn’t even bother to add my own view
I do like how pretty much any thread here on the fediverse is small enough that I feel like I can make a comment and participate
some communities do feel quite active, but I think sports as well as some niche interests could use a boost in activity here
according to that same website, kbin activity has been dropping
down from ~57,000 average at the beginning of July to about ~32,500 active users now

I know I’ve been having issues with federation from kbin magazines to my lemmy instance, so I wonder if this is part of it?
I’m not sure if all of your points are covered, but this page has fediverse tips and an active mastodon account where you might be able to ask for the remaining scenarios to be covered
a million times this, so many young people overwork themselves and burn out quickly
I cringe whenever a see someone has checked in code at 1am on a weekend, and these people are also working normal business hours so it’s not like they are only working at night
sadly it’s usually the same people who never take PTO either
that sounds very interesting! I’m gonna go lookup FPGA emulation now
that makes sense
federation between kbin.social and my instance lemmy.sdf.org seems to be awful and I couldn’t tell where the breakdown was occurring because the issue is intermittent/partial federation
I’m not a web developer so I can’t really say what solutions are best, but I have faith there are people smarter than me working on robust solutions
I haven’t looked at the specs but it is similar to UDP vs TCP?
quoting posts unlike Mastodon
what happens when a Firefish user quotes a post and it federates to Mastodon? Is the quote lost?
cool I’ll check them out, thanks!
I completely stopped using reddit but that old.reddit.com interface is still the best imo
most themes look like from early 2000’s
I thought that was a major selling point 😭
I’m assuming you’d need an account specifically on endlesstalk.org to use these frontend?
I’m already moderating a few communities so completely migrating to a new instance is probably not worth it for me (and I’d prefer to keep my sdf.org connections)
I’d love it if these alternative sites could use a login from a different instance somehow, basically operating in the same way a mobile app does
there are definitely federation issues with kbin.social
I’m on lemmy.sdf.org and my subscriptions to kbin magazines are extremely flaky and sometimes don’t work at all
I’ve tried posting about it on both my lemmy community and kbinmeta on kbin.social but never got much traction on why federation is hit-or-miss
r/reddit.com
man that brought back some memories, I remember when they shut that sub down and now I’m sad again
hey its like our own little MTV Unplugged session :D
I bought the Hanson CD
but you know what, I ain’t ashamed! MMMbop was catchy and I’ll listen to whatever gets my body groovin’
KoRn was my favorite band as a teen!
still enjoy their music even though I don’t seek out nu-metal as much as I used to
ARE YOU READY??!!
interesting, maybe I’ll have to dig around the ActivityPub documentation to see how data is formatted
I posted a link to Lemmy (from Lemmy) and now I’m viewing the post from Mastodon to see if I can determine how the data flows
the link appears directly in the Mastodon post view but the text I entered on the Lemmy post didn’t show up in Mastodon
maybe this would work as a linked post from Mastodon to Lemmy?:
TitleOfPost
some-link-to-an-external-url
@communityname@lemmyinstance
but that may just create a text post with the link as the ‘text’
I guess I need to try it out with a test post or in a test community so I’m not spamming anyone with my testing :)
