I'm liking it a lot! Love that we can shout over the fence to our neighbors. :)

Right now it's shouting over the fence to talk between Kbin and Lemmy, it's a bit clunky and buggy. Hopefully that fence can over time lower and be completely removed as the code gets better and better. Looking forward to having a great time with you guys!
True, but a lot works well. I can browse subs through the front page or sub really easily on KBin. I'm not a fan of how every federated sub says owned by @ernest though.
I'm still learning the ropes. I agree a lot works well, but I'm always happy for things to become easier and more accessible. I love the idea that as people find their different niches across platforms and servers that work well for them, it's still possible to maintain that connectivity.

Fediverse life is prospering and I already feel like my doom scrolling days are behind me :)
Mine are just re-beginning
Oh yeah, that reminds me, I gotta go walk the robot dog
I can't wait until we live in a future where robot dogs can walk themselves.
That's lemmygrad if they could just try one more time

Life has been good since the federation spun back up. I love that our little community isn't restricted to just the content we produce on our own.
@tauonite hello from mastodon 👋 message received!
@DamnCatOnMyDesk @tauonite it's wonderful isn't it? almost magical :ablobcatrainbow: :fediverse:
reminds me of Nokia's iconic tagline: "connecting people".
We've got hookers and beer over here. What do you have?
I think they have access to our federated hookers and federated beers.
Not bad, not bad. Taking a break from designing a little crochet dice bag I'm gifting someone. Really shouldn't be bragging about literally a bag, but multicolored swirly patterns require the most basic math skills and math is hard when you've got terminal brain damage
As a knitter, making anything with only one needle seems like rocket science.

Not gonna lie, it's pretty awesome over here.
Now that things have settled down a bit, the mobile site for kbin is pretty quick and there's a lot of new content. I'm sure the updates will keep coming and it should be interesting to see how it develops over the next months.
I pinned the mobile site to my homepage in the iPhone, and it feels like an actual app.
The icon is on the spot that was vacated by Reddit, which has now moved to the container where FB, Instagram and Twitter went to die. Twitter is actually not even there anymore.
Yeah I like it here. How's Lemmy? What, to you, makes Lemmy preferable to Kbin?
Lemmy makes its image previews proportional rather than squashing them into a square, as kbin presently does, for one.
Well that's a thing! I had noticed that but not thought much on it. i imagine Earnest has that on his todo list already, but there's a lot on there!
Heh. Last I looked there were 49 open PRs for him to review. I dunno if he's going to have a chance to actually code himself if he has to also be reviewing all the patches people are sending him.
I also saw something recently saying that he handed off the server admin work to someone.
EDIT: Apparently he's not the only one reviewing.

What's funnier is that Kbin squashes them into a square and then seem to stretch that square into some strange almost 3:2 landscape format.
I tried to add some custom CSS with Tampermonkey to fix the thumbnails, and was extremely confused until I realised what was happening.

I feel like I'm 10 years younger.
The best part about leaving reddit behind was that I could start over with a different username. My name over there was so negative and it didn't truly reflect who I am today...thanks to LSD.
Hopefully over here we'll care a bit less about reputation points as well. The system for it is currently broken in kbin, and I can't say it's a great loss.
It's awesome to be able to comment and interact across instances
The Beauty of Fediverse!
Do comments go across instances? I can see that posts can but I'm still not clear on whether comments sections for federated posts are separate or merged or what
Comments are posted across instances, although sometimes it will be delayed in sync (especially when there is a lot of traffic).

It's pretty cool.
kbin works great. i couldnt get signed up for lemmy
@tauonite Hello and nice to see you! I couldn't look here much the last few days but it seems like we are federating again which is great!
Nice to see you
Life is good, so far.
Chill as usual.
It's good. I'm on a lemmy instance too, not sure which I prefer, but so far more active here. I appreciate that it doesn't really matter which I use.
Really liking it so far. Federation isn't perfect but I'd say me being able to see this is at least a small win?
It's going pretty good mayne! She's crashing a lot, but that's understandable due to the drastic uptick in userbase. Day 1 on kbin was great, got high hopes for day 2 ✌️
Having a good time. Lemmy was giving me too many errors, but if they improve it I may switch more to posting from that account again.
