Tales from the Terrordrome
Here’s an archive.org link of the /r/datahoarder post I saw, the downloader tools at the bottom are probably most of interest but still some good links/info there:
Well said, I think the key thing going forward is that the fediverse/whatever comes next becomes a new repository of community sourced information/discussion/resources/etc. There’s a reason people add site:reddit.com to their google searches, and the top story about how joesmith42069 got 50k karma on their totally dank meme isn’t it.
One thing that helped me get a handle on things was creating my own magazine and just playing around with it. Magazines = subreddits, and articles = threads. An article is meant to be more text based, and you can also select the option to upload pictures/links to the magazine instead. I haven’t messed with the whole microblog section but if you select “add post” it will upload to the microblog of the selected magazine instead of the thread list. Boosts are different from likes in that they boost your personal ‘reputation’ instead of ranking thread popularity.
Overall I really like the level of customization kbin offers, definitely needs some UI improvements but it kinda feels like a hyperpowered version of reddit once you get used to it.
The live page psuedo app is working well for me on grapheneOS with the vanadium browser, I do also get a random 503 error but it’s already so much better than a couple days ago
