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



I haven’t been on reddit in a few days but before I left I recall seeing someone post a github link that touted something like that for lemmy instances. Haven’t found anything for kbin but I know there are tools out there for scraping data/images/etc from different subreddits and users


I think a key thing going forward is that the fediverse/whatever comes next becomes a new repository for 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.

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.


Me too, I think reddit is going to keep enough bootlickers to stay running but I hope the fragmentation will result in a better and more interesting internet. Anyone here old enough to remember the days of TOTSE?


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.


I have an account on both but if I had my preference I’d say kbin is the winner. I’ve been on reddit since 2011 and this reminds me of how it felt to join reddit back then
