A little insane, but in a good way.
First, thank you for the detailed response.
Second, I think you finally convinced me to delete my FB. I will link to this comment wherever possible to show people what a terrible company Meta is.
Can you tell us more about what they are like?
Trust me, the shit show is glorious. I even instinctively upvoted a couple of medieval memes but quickly realized what I was doing and closed the tab.
Oh definitely. I’ve been on a continuous Lemmy/kbin binge since Friday. This place is way more enjoyable than reddit because:
Cool, thank you! I’ll check out AskKbin.
Could you please recommend some good kbin magazines here too? I think this thread has a lot of interested users.
It already exists but Lemmy converts it into a regular link (I don’t know what kbin does):
Syntax: !community@instance.tld
What Lemmy does: [Community](https://instance.tld/c/community)
Correct Lemmy link: [Community](/c/community@instance.tld)
Correct kbin link: [Community](/m/community@instance.tld)
The first problem is that it should be a relative URL so visitors from any instance are sent to the community on their own instance.
The second one is that the conversion should be done at rendering time instead of in the editor, so the client (Lemmy or kbin) can format the link according to its own route pattern.
Lemmy also has a mechanism to do it, but the icon is different, it’s two squares instead of a forking arrow.
Well, there’s this place:
My new community got quite a few subscribers from there. Just make sure to post relative links using both the Lemmy and kbin routes (/c/
and /m/
).
EDIT: oh, I almost forgot, there actually is a site for community discovery: Lemmy Browser. I don’t think it currently lists kbin communities but we could ask them to (or if it’s open source, someone could implement it).
Made the switch 4 years ago. No regrets.
