I was on Reddit for 15 years and r/funny was never funny IMO. Reddit has always had pretty cringe attempts at culture/humour, the ‘narwhal bacons at midnight’ attempts at 4chan-lite culture was lame over a decade ago.

I’ve never used the official app (used Relay on Android then more recently Apollo when I switched to iOS) and this is horrible.
Is there an available script somewhere? Would love to do the same.
Absolutely beautiful writing in that post. As someone who’s been on forums since the mid-90s it hit home pretty hard.
The Dig is great! Not my favourite 90s adventure but definitely underrated.
Without a doubt Jazz Jackrabbit. JJ1&2 still hold up better than the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis Sonic games.
My parents refused to spend any sort of money on videogaming so my childhood was spent scrounging for anything I could on my Dad’s 386 PC. Shareware of the first episodes of games was a Godsend, I must have played through the first part of Duke Nukem 50 times.
I think people are jumping the gun a bit on what Kbin is and are expecting it to be as huge as Reddit which it might never be. Most of my news I’m getting via the free version of Feedly which is an RSS reader and I’m only really using Kbin to scratch that itch for a bit of commenting.
I hope people are exploring their options with being able to interact with Lemmy and Beehaw boards via Federation too. If this setup ever gets as big as Reddit it’ll be through the federated whole not one individual site. Considering how much data costs to host I think pushing one site towards a monopoly will always force increased advertIsing and with popularity comes financial predators. This is of course what Reddit is going through now.
Me and the wife are planning on kids so it’s probably going to be the first thing I pick up if she ever gets pregnant.
