I’ve brought up a new KBIN instance, https://feddit.online
It’s administrated from the Greater Boston, Massachusetts area. Everyone is welcome to sign up, so long as they follow the rules
I now, because I must be crazy, have 4 Fediverse servers running.
KBIN: https://feddit.online
Mastodon: https://hear-me.social
Calckey: https://bostonsocial.online
Peertube: https://my-sunshine.video
This is another thing I don’t get. Is there a way to view a list of ALL communities across all Fediverse instances, preferably ordered by size? Doesn’t even have to be searchable, I’d just start with a list.
Needing to jump from instance to instance, searching their available magazines - as a Kbin user - seems so clunky for something with so much promise.
I hope to God I’m doing this wrong.
https://kbin.social/magazines
isnt that just kbin instances?
doesn’t look that way. if you go to the last page, you’ll see small communities from other services like Lemmy, Friendica, and Guppe Groups.
That was my understanding, but who knows? Thanks for the list, @noodlejetski!
Lemmy as well. For example, https://beehaw.org/communities
I share your thoughts on this. The only reason my server has 301 magazines from other servers is because I visited those other servers, searched through their magazines, and one-by-one, entered their full names into mine because they seemed popular. I’ve confirmed with several others that this is how it works.
I hope this gets changed because what happens now is that there are multiple magazines, covering similar topics, all independent of each other on different servers. If I wanted to join a Linux discussion group, for example, I would want one Linux group shared across all servers. But, unless someone knows of a magazine on the other server and introduces it to the local server to link to it, there will be two independent groups. Multiply this by all the servers and there’s quite a mess. People are missing out on discussions.
I want a true content aggregator. I don’t think we’ve reached this goal yet.
