While most of the people here upset and rightfully so, we have got to move past the angst to actually build this place out.
We have to recreate the environment and communities we’ve created on on Reddit here, so that people don’t feel like they’re missing out being on kbin.
That way, the next time Spez goes full Elon, we already have everything in place to make the jump.
I help run r/MMA on Reddit. We aggregate news as well as bringing on MMA figures for AMAs.
We, like many other magazines here, will need a way to quickly aggregate breaking news onto our magazine, and the easiest way to do that is going to be through a bot that mirrors submissions to our subreddit.
At least for the mags that rely on breaking news, if we implement this at scale, the end user wont be missing much by migrating over here if they get all the same great breaking news.
Do we have any bot builders in the house who could take this on as a project?
We would be leveraging Reddit’s own userbase at scale to better kbin, and eventually beat them in the long run. That’s the biggest L we could ever deal them.
EDIT: WASN’T SURE THIS WAS GONNA BLOW UP. IVE MADE https://kbin.social/m/BotIt FOR DEVELOPMENT. IF YOU’RE INTERESTED AND CAN HELP OR JUST WANT TO FOLLOW THE PROJECT, COME ON OVER. THANKS.
This isn’t kbin, but whatever helps kbin helps lemmy too
And that’s amazing. One community and infinite platforms.
Or a web of infinite communities and 5 sets of platforms
Can we subscribe to kbin magazines from Lemmy? They’re like their communities or subreddits, right?
Yeah you can. But be aware that Kbin uses a different format. So if they link something like
@magazine@kbin.social, you need to change it to!magazine@kbin.socialin order to access it.I can’t get my lemmy instance to discover kbin.social communities as of yet. Not sure what the issue is. I think their cloudflare config is buggered and causing issues with federation or something.
