I created a lucid dreaming community: https://kbin.social/m/LucidDreaming
I've added a few threads, articles and videos. Hopefully that's at least something to start with.
Can't wait to see John Oliver cover this whole reddit thing on his show by showing his favorite pics. I love it. I almost feel like going to reddit to help post the most absurd pics of him.
What I love about this is that it's exactly the kind of thing he'd talk about on his show, which would be hilarious and also add more exposure the the whole thing.
Reminds me of stories I've heard of dictatorships where newspapers would replace censored articles with random things, so you'd see in the economy section a full page with a cookie recipe, stuff like that.
Is it possible to use one of these tools to delete all of my comments and contributions but not my liked and saved posts? I might want to go through my liked and saved to see if I want to save anything before I delete the whole account. And I don't want to spend that much time on reddit atm.
My curiosity about kbin has become much greater than my desire to go back to reddit which is really weird. Definitely NOT what I had in mind, but I'll take it!
I still don't get NFTs. Not the technical part, but the why-the-hell-would-anyone-want-this part. Like, I can't even understand the logic behind someone thinking someone else would want something like this. It seems like it should be a simple concept but my brain just hurts.
Taking an adversarial approach against your own community
This is why even if things go back to "normal" I'm much more interested in seeing where this fediverse thing is going (which is something I wasn't even aware existed a few days ago, so thanks reddit, I guess?)
Yeah, I'm so used to not having to put in effort lol. On reddit I'd only comment whenever I felt I wanted to say something. I rarely posted because my post would usually just get drowned out by others.
I think in the beginning we all have to lower our standards a bit when posting. As in create a Harry Potter magazine and post "who's your favorite character and why?". You know, stuff that we'd never consider posting on reddit because it's probably been posted a million times. Simple stuff to get started.
Also, for those that want karma (reputation?), realizing that being starved for content means your posts will likely get more attention.
Now let me go relax after work and be a hypocrite... (no, but I'll definitely put in more effort!)
The beat subreddits were the smaller ones with passionate members. Too big and you get chaos, trolls, too much shitposting, low quality, etc. Too small and there's little content.
So I agree 100%. Hoping for some growth so that we get more content and build a more functioning community, but I don't need and don't want the giganticness of reddit. Even though there's not much content yet and things are still getting started, I'm really loving the cozy feeling.
Exactly this. I've used RIF since forever, so RIF is Reddit for me. Even if they take it all back and everything goes back to normal, there's still a bad taste in my mouth. Reddit is clearly against the community, literally fighting it. Not even trying to find some sort of compromise or anything. So screw it, kbin seems pretty cozy so far, to be honest.
