Fake internet points. Karma. Whatever you call it… does Lemmy have the equivalent? There is an undeniable motivator in trying to earn more karma as a badge of honor....
I've heard a few people say that they don't use reddit apps anymore and only access reddit via old.reddit. Could someone explain to me how that resolves the "morality issue"? Isn't that still traffic and aren't they still getting money? Is it less money somehow?
Dunno for sure, I feel the same way as you, but I think it’s more about "I refuse to use the app you intended me to be forced to by killing [favorite 3rd party app].
If combined with an adblocker they don’t get your ad revenue but they do still get to add you to the tally of “active users”, so I still feel abandoning ship altogether is best practice.
Not sure how I feel about this tbh, fair play if that’s what he wants to do. I don’t think it will make me stay with reddit. The community feel of lemmy and kbin is making me finally enjoy contributing again. Towards the end with reddit it felt so… Pointless.
The Dev has posted that Infinity will remain working and free until their paid subscription update is released. How they are achieving this I am unsure. The other reddit client I have installed, Stealth, which I just browse on anonymously, is still working also.
Reddit admins appear to be removing links to Lemmy instances posted in comments.I'm seeing quite a few "[Removed by Reddit]" comments in /r/RedditAlternatives this evening. Anybody else seeing their comments being manipulated by Reddit staff today?
@Chozo Huffman is really taking all the cues from his hero Musk. Halving the valuation, alienating loyal developers and a core set of users and stifling freedom of information on the internet.
Keep in mind you are probably using server space by uploading multiple images at once, that others pay for. Is there a reason why you want to upload many images at once?
What exactly are Reputation Points and how are they calculated? I've got mostly upvoted comments and a few boosts but I'm sitting at -3 and I'd like to know how it works and what it means.
Trying to migrate to kbin, but have several small questions after using it for some minutes now.
Can anyone please expain how to ask simple questions within this magazine, like:
How can I ask questions here without posting a new link, photo, article or video?
Questions like:
How can I add magazines to my favourites?
How can I search a specific magazine (like RedditMigration for those quesions I have...)?
Finally:
Is there a more extensive user guide than kbin's user guide on Github?
All of the options in + except making a new magazine is creating a thread. The "Add new article" is equal to making a text thread.
You should be able to find some useful guides or info if you click "top" on the homepage, or go to /m/kbinMeta and click top to find some useful guides. Out of those this one should be a pretty helpful start.
Microblogging is the name for things like Twitter. You "blog" only small texts like the famous 160 characters of Twitter. A tweet or toot would be called micropost or just "status update". On microblogs you usually don't have threads but replies to a post. These replies and the initial post effectively form a thread but all the replies are also separate posts by the user.
