I still don’t understand the difference between Lemmy and Kbin
Go to kbin.social in one tab and vlemmy.net in another and you will see the differences pretty quickly.
Mostly the “microblog” section and how everything is labelled and arranged, since Kbin is completely seperate software
I did, but mostly I just saw that the UI was different, and it had microblogging. So Kbin, practically speaking, is just Mastodon and Lemmy mixed into the same site, but on different tabs? That’s all I’m getting. It calls communities ‘magazines’, but seeing as lemmy communities from other instances are treated as magazines, they’re basically the same? Same with the ‘tweets’?
Heyo!
No, just the way the Fediverse works. :)
…and, to go on a bit of a tangent, how the internet “used to” work. You still see the remnant with E-Mails; they can go between servers. Most other services have become locked and centralized now. There was a short bit of time where MSN, AIM and YIM were practically compatible with one another due to sharing many of the same XMPP protos.
Personally I am happy to see this again, been too long ^^
As someone on Kbin I often find myself commenting to people looking for certain magazines only to realize after replying they are on an instance of lemmy. But they can still look at the magazines like I can look at their communities. I find all that very fascinating and new.
Why isn’t the image from a cross-over episode? Haha
I’m confused of what you are saying
I’m just dumb and hadn’t seen this episode so didn’t get the reference. Expected an image like this to match the joke
ohh okok
And me from my own server
Tell me more friend. I had a browse, so you’ve set up your own instance with only your account on. Then from there, you can essentially manage your own version of lemmy/kbin etc. with your own subscriptions and it’ll federate those magazines?
I think this could be the answer for the way I intend to go forward.
Are single user instances viable ?
If you have a server at home, I guess so…
wdym viable? Lemmy instances aren’t a business, and afaik the server load depends on the number of users and their activity.
