cacheson, hace 7 meses a fediverse en Mbin: A kbin fork that promises to never review PRs before merging them

Hmm, that seems like not such a good look from Ernest. According to google translate:

I know, honestly it was on purpose. I noticed that forks sync changes immediately with /kbin. I wanted to check how they deal with this much-announced community-based qualitative code review. Answer: they can't cope. Quite an obvious bug was accepted in PR and domerged into the main branch :P It now works properly on the rifle ;)

Hopefully everyone can play nice and work together productively.

cacheson, hace 10 meses a RedditMigration en YSK r/Futurology has an official Lemmy instance

It's not "the official futurology instance", it's "the official r/futurology instance":

This is a sibling community to r/futurology on Reddit, set up and moderated by the same people.

Great to hear, thank you. Are there any other server admins that we should contact about things like this in the future, or are you still the only one?

Yeah, most of my stock of saved memes are from r/animemes and r/anime_irl. They did at least make it through the filter of being funny enough at the time to compel me to save them. And they're not necessarily ones that would be easily found by looking at the top posts in those subs.

I've seen some magazines put a note in their description that the owner is willing to hand it off to the mod team of the corresponding subreddit. I think that's a decent compromise in order to welcome the old subreddit to migrate over and maintain continuity, while also not waiting around for other people to act.

It gets weird when we talk about this stuff on only one axis (left-right) rather than two (left-right/libertarian-authoritarian, though that's still a simplification). Specifically, I'm an anarchist, which means I'm part of the "far left". Anarchists, along with "ultra"-communists, are seen as being to the left of Lenin/Stalin-style communists. Saying that the problem with the lemmy devs is that they're "far left" implies that people like me are the same as tankies, and we kind of resent that.

While lots of people are suggesting creating communities for your niche interests, I think it's even more important to to find niche communities that others have created and contribute to them. Obviously you can do both, but if you've got limited time to post it may be better to focus your efforts, and be the "first follower" rather than the leader.

I've been doing this for /m/Animemes and /m/anime_irl, just making one post per day in each. There hasn't been a ton of other activity yet, but the subscriber counts have been growing steadily, so we'll get there.

I've also been wanting to build up /m/Bitcoin in the same way, but I don't feel like I've got much to contribute right now, so I'm focusing on the anime communities.

I think part of it is that leftists (myself included) don't like being lumped in with tankies. I didn't downvote though.

The lead devs of lemmy are tankies, basically meaning authoritarian communists of the genocide-apologist variety. They also run the lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml instances.

This is also why I signed up on kbin instead of on lemmy. The other lemmy instances are fine, but I don't want to contribute to the influence of the lemmy devs any more than necessary. Hopefully they try to pull something stupid and get forked off the project.

cacheson, hace 1 año a RedditMigration en PSA: while upvoting exists, to get the "move closer to the top" effect that reddit's upvote had, you need to click boost

Just so everyone's aware, upvotes and downvotes are also public, due to how federation works.

cacheson, hace 1 año a RedditMigration en PSA: while upvoting exists, to get the "move closer to the top" effect that reddit's upvote had, you need to click boost

This isn't true. Posts and comments are sorted by upvotes, downvotes, and age. The place where wires got crossed with regard to upvotes and boosts is "reputation" on your profile. Boosts are supposed to be like retweets.

I'm in favor of communism in principle, but not in practice. I'd love to live in a commune, but I don't think I'd want to live in a communist country.

You might be interested in anarcho-communism. I'm not one myself, but they're the only kind of communists that I'm okay with.
