    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.

      Yes!! And the active non-toxic community.

      There are UI improvements to be made and general coordination and understanding of the fediverse (eg. discovering communities, duplicate communities, etc), but we will get there.

        And the active non-toxic community.

        Most of the users have some organs which, when consumed in sufficient quantities, are considered toxic. The key is to eat the users in moderation.

      Right?! I have both Lemmy and Kbin, but Kbin is the one that reminds me of early Reddit the most. I hope it gets a mobile app soon.

    It’s the first time I’ve posted in A YEAR AND A HALF that wasn’t immediately downvoted, literally within seconds - just like most of the posts and even comments regardless of content and occurring with super-human speed in our tiny gaming sub, which Reddit admins do nothing about despite me (a mod) complaining multiple times with obvious examples mentioning that I have literal screenshots of people asking to brigade it.

    I was thinking of Reddit as being less toxic than our Discord server - and tbf it is that:-P - but I forgot what “friendly” and “welcoming” even was, b/c it had warped & twisted my mind, normalizing such behavior as if “nothing can be done”. But it can - I can leave!:-P

    Hasn’t even been a full week since I opened my account and the growth I have seen every day has been INSANE. From <50 upvotes, <20 comments, and <5 boosts 100+ upvotes and comments in the span of 5 days has been pretty cool to see.
