so complicated :o that’s true, it’s kind of another con of making an account on and staying on a small instance then. If the instance makes its own communities, and the instance plans to stay small ish to be a lot of decentralized servers, then the content might not be well searchable for the small instance. idkkkk, it feels like there’s pros of the fediverse, but then sometimes it’s like a double edged sword or something.

I think it won’t be able to get everything since the search result is the webpage that’s gonna be on different communities.

I tried these searches, and they have different results. I’d be missing some content on the fediverse on the topic if I didn’t remember to include all these

pear site:kbin.social
pear site:kbin.*
pear site:lemmy.*

aww that’s kind of a bummer then, I’m a little sad since I thought this made it equal to reddit’s search. I don’t really care for reddit becoming good for stuff like tiktok/youtube shorts, but I like it a lot for being able to search easily for real people’s inputs. I thought there was no con for federation since the content is shared, but the decentralization seems to make it harder to search that content in the fediverse

Omg that sounds great! Thanks, I’m not that familiar with that google search filter and the possibilities we can put :)

Edit: I tried it, but I’m not sure yet, I think it adds a lot of entries I wasn’t expecting, but it’s still another great option to do the search. I tried it with: < desantis “join Lemmy” OR “powered by kbin” >

I guess my only concern left then is for the different aggregators, since I thought there wouldn’t be any difference really between kbin and lemmy (or the others)

oooh, so nice, thank you! I will use that. I didn’t even know we can put that wild card *
I tested with " site:lemmy.* reddit "

The only thing is, I think not every lemmy instance is named that way. I think these are also lemmy servers - sh.itjust.works, vlemmy.net, lemm.ee

I think that is true that most people will not leave reddit. I’m in a subreddit called redditalternatives, and lately not many people are posting in it anymore. It definitely feels like a niche thing, but I think it’s okay. Reddit won’t last forever, and in the meantime, we can be seeing if fediverse is the way forward. This isn’t the first time reddit screwed up and it won’t be the last.

They’re also I think trying to become like tiktok and give lots of forever scrollable content, but I think tiktok/youtube shorts already fill that niche

I think number 1 is important so it’s easier to move. Otherwise we could feel centralized to one instance rather than feeling free to federate

It could help too if maybe on the sign up page, if an instance is getting full, they suggest some instances that are less full to join. That way people can be guided without having to do research on their own (before they’ve even decided to commit to the fediverse)

Glad you were able to find it :) I think one thing they could add for kbin is the ability to list like in a panel like reddit, the magazines you subscribed too so you can navigate to them more easily. Right now I have to search for the magazine I wanna go to each time.

Also at first I did the aame as you and selected to only show my subscribed for my feed, but later I realized since it’s still small, there’s not enough content yet, so now I just use the default All for my feed to get new stuff like every 30 min or so
