@wakest Mastodon may have started down the enshitification route and heading toward being forked.

@deadsuperhero That’s disappointing.

@uhvayga They definitely federate with the kbin instances which you can find here. https://fedidb.org/software/kbin

threads.net

@koncertejo You can follow any Fediverse account you want to on kbin.

@CurlyMoustache

@acunasdaddy Yes. Use the add new link under the + sign drop down menu to create a thread. Be sure to add hashtags to your microblog post so people can find it. Have fun.

@acunasdaddy

In kbin, magazines are based on topics. Users can start threads within a magazine and upvote or downvote in any threads. An upvote is the equivalent of a like or favorite on other platforms. If you boost a thread comment, that is the same as boosting or sharing on another platform.

kbin also has microblogging which is the same as Mastodon, and you can boost and upvote microblogs as well.

@stefan

@fediverse If this was from your site, I am seeing it.

@xavieryaa For Lemmy replace the ! with an @. @bisexual Then you should find it.

@Usernameblankface Yes to all your questions.

@pariscope Stick with kbin. It’s more versatile because of its microblogging capabilities. And it definitely looks a shit ton better. And will eventually have a stronger developer community supporting it.

@Wavebeam Yes on your first question and I would recommend kbin.

@Rick subreddits = Magazines. It also has microblogging like Mastdon.

@lixus98 The more the merrier. Start some instances people. https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/wiki#admin-guide

@Otome-chan@kbin.social I think there is a magazine called “random”.

@Bloonface

@AucT

@rgb_leds_are_love Kbin uses Symfony so it can scale as much as it needs to. Ernest knows what he is doing.

@tojikomori This 1000%.
