@alyaza Congrats on the growth! I have been trying to find a space that was not a centralized site for years now… Pretty much since COVID started. Rather than needing a community, I needed a method that I could contact people from 1 source, no matter what service they used. Now I get both! I can have people message me as long as they are on the fediverse in some way or another and, like you, am thankful all these companies are dropping nukes on themselves so I can convince people to join these other sites and message me there.

I hope things keep heading this way and more and more people start to understand the depth of the fediverse and more and more success stories can emerge like yours!

Lets gooooooo

@lens_r Welcome, welcome!!! That’s good feedback for the developers as kbin.pub states this is still in beta and still has room for improvement. But I’ve loved it so far as well and is my “main” fediverse instance.

Commenting from kbin. I actually feel kbin is a more reddit-like site and beginner friendly. and I love that we can interact from different sites.

I am more of a forum-type user and not a microblogger, so I liked that aspect of it all. I dislike Mastodon because of the “shout to the void” style that people post on there. I like a site that has sub-communities that all aggregate into a front-page, but this is a little different as I subscribe to individual sites rather than a moderated community within a monopolated site like Reddit.

So rather than a Reddit alternative, I actually like it as a re-thought forum. I’ve also enjoyed the culture of the fediverse of “we’re not here to attack everything you say” so I’ve felt more open to comment rather than lurk.
