no why did you bring them here
Is mbin the same as kbin and is it still a thing? I remember hearing about it at the beginning but now everyone is on lemmy or am I missing something?
mbin is a fork of the (now abandoned?) kbin which integrates with Lemmy.
It’s pretty much the same as any other Lemmy client unless they added something I don’t know about, basically just a front end for the Fediverse.
Isn’t it technically a different backend that’s compatible with lemmy’s interface?
They have microblogging, and some other small features.
I like the honesty of that: billionaire resistant.
Well, their post was about not wanting a (worse) billionaire to buy reddit, musk style.
You can always just keep your Reddit account it’s not that big of a deal
I never deleted my Reddit account precisely because I go in there periodically and find some of my comments became un-deleted, so I have to go back in and scrub them again to try to keep my content off the site.
That, and when I am Googling something and find a relevant thread on Reddit with the answer, I hate being defaulted to New Reddit, where half the comments are also buried and need to be manually opened to read more. Having an account logged in with the Old Reddit toggle is the simplest way around that (though wouldn’t surprise me if someone made a browser extension for that).
When I find something I need on reddit, I repost to Lemmy.
We only need a way the content on lemmy won’t be destroyed when the instance ends.
Not a bad strategy, though for as bad as the native search feature is on Reddit, the native search feature on Lemmy is 10x worse. Basically, if it’s not indexed by Google, there’s no way to search for something specific.
I go out of my way to save content locally that interests me because I assume if I don’t, it is effectively lost to time.
Well, everything but images stays on remote instances, for example, kbin.social posts are still here in lemm.ee.
Check the fediscovery project, there could be centralised indexs which could keep posts.
theres an extension which automatically views your pages in old reddit. i was forced out of reddit due to thier aggressive ban wave this month.
There is a browser add on for it. I use one called Yesterday for Reddit.
I know.
