Just did that for the first time yesterday, actually!

Oh, I’ve been a uBlock Origin user for years. On the desktop, at least, it’s just neat to see the adblocker sitting idle for once.

Kbin reminds me so much of what I loved about Reddit when I first joined 14 years ago. Is anyone else struck by the complete lack of ads on any of these instances? It’s crazy how quickly almost everything loads.

There’s probably a large percentage of Reddit users that are still getting everything they’re looking for with the official app and what’s left of the site. Quick hits of memes are fun, and I do take some pleasure in correctly guessing the top comments in a thread.

The level of conversation on Kbin/Lemmy reminds me more of what old Reddit used to be like back in the day, and I think I’m okay with that being a smaller community than Reddit at large. I keep reminding myself and others that these communities don’t ever need to be as big as Reddit, they just need to be big enough.

@spicy_biscuits Welcome aboard!

Hey, it just happened again! I had to click through to your profile page to see your full comment.

Bugs aside, I’m really happy with the overall Kbin experience so far.

I’ve noticed something similar a couple times so far. When I check my notifications I can see when new replies show up, but sometimes when I click into the thread, the reply isn’t visible anywhere. I can browse to the user’s profile and see their comment on the feed, so I know it exists somewhere.

Definitely smells like a bug, but I’m not sure where to officially report stuff like that.

Self-hosting will give you the most control, and 30GB really isn’t all that much data in the grand scheme of things. I haven’t done much research into it yet, but I’ve also seen PixelFed listed as an option for image sharing on the fediverse.
