Welcome, don't be scared of asking something!

What's the best way to get rid of a body... theoretically?

Apparently they go through bone like buttah!

Be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm!

theoretically

I got scared until you said this, ofc any question is fine as long as it is hypothetical.

Why not both. Pigs on Acid.

I'm a bit confused, started using Lemmy earlier this month, made an account so I can subscribe to communities that interest me, still figuring it out a bit. What is kbin? Thanks!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Kbin is another federated instance on the verse just like Lemmy, it just has a different UI. I'm browsing this thread and commenting through kbin right now, we can all interact with the same posts :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I’m on VLemmy! 👋

Another way to look at it is like different flavors or the same operating systems like Linux with kde vs gnome. Or if you’re not a computer buff, Windows 10 or Windows 11. More or less…

kbin.social is like lemmy.world, etc.... It's another instance (though maybe/probably there are other technical differences I don't understand). I am speaking to you from kbin right now. It's magic, you see.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Kbin is a different software from Lemmy but both use activitypub and so can communicate to each other with little issue

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Kbin is a separate application that is like lemmy and they can communicate with each other, as in view each other's content.

Hi. Welcome to kbin. There is a bit of a learning curve. There is a bit of jank, but to be honest? You made the right call.

What's Reddit? /jk but Kbin is so nice. I am actually having conversations with people instead of just post that seem to exist in a weird void.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm not quite having conversations, but I'm posting comments on the internet for the first time in years.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Same boat! The last 5 years of my Reddit usage was 100% anonymous, sign out out of any account using the Apollo app. But when I joined the fediverse, something about it got me back into the swing of posting and voting.

I really like the UI kbin has. Don't have to worry about old.reddit being removed one day either.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Right? I liked reddit, but old.reddit was imperfect at best, and needed RES. New reddit was always an unusable hot mess. Kbin is like three weeks old and it's already better than both ever were.

Try not to get overwhelmed by things here. There's an added layer of complexity that exists, due to the space being made up of a whole bunch of different websites, but you'll grok it in time if you just absorb things slowly.

Things are still new around here. kbin itself is still in early beta. There are kinks to work out. But everything's in active development, and things will get polished :)

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

boom. eat shit spez

[–] sentient_loom 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just checked it out. It's awesome. It has reddit and twitter all packaged together.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Hello from lemmy UK. So I came here after recent api changes having used RIF for about 10 years. However finding that I hadn't realise how incrementally shite reddit had gotten over the years. This feels so much like old school discussion forums. Feeling excited for the future and will be staying here.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Lemmies upvoting Kbinauts.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I moved over a little more than a week ago and honestly the improvements here have already come a long way. I am really enjoying it and have zero issue fully replacing Reddit with the Fediverse.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

For me, Lemmy is the girl in blue. But I prefer browsing Lemmy communities through kbin. So I'm still loyal.

I spent 16 years on reddit only for them to screw things up so royally. I'm liking what I'm seeing so far from lemmy.

Who's downvoting this lol

Like it's getting hard ratio'd because it's a good meme, but I'm curious as to why 13 people (so far?) are upset about it.
