Hello there everyone!

I am one of people who decided to migrate from Reddit, but I wasn’t a content creator or mod, just an average user who read some posts, liked one here and there, very rarely commented anything. But as someone with some IT knowledge that also read many posts regarding protest, I dropped the site like a hot potato once it started to show my support for mods.

The kbin experience for now is fine, obviously the site needs to get accustomed to recent user influx one step at a time. I wish the devs the best! Thank for your hard work <3

But the only issue I have is that not every community I have followed transfered here or not every sub found its magazine substitute. While some of them are already growing or I can deal without them, there’re few niche ones that still hold valuable information. I don’t want to help create an illusion that users don’t care at all, but there were times when I found solutions for work related problems there or resources and answers for questions I couldn’t find elsewhere. Not to mention the niche communities. Thus forcing me to go there lurking in these cases.

And here’s my question - how do you feel about it, mods and ex-redditers? In a few months that probably won’t be an issue, but I’m now troubled with that as I want to make moraly right decision.

    You can but you’ll need a permission note from your mom. Seriously it’s not a big deal, you can use both at the same time, nothing says you have to quit cold turkey. It would be more beneficial though i think to link discussions to the Fediverse rather than just to Reddit.

    Instead of just tweeting, toot to the Fediverse as well. Try not to be annoying about it demanding people use the Fediverse, just do it the quiet sneaky way. Get people clicking Fediverse links with topics they would be interested in, and with their own volition they will learn about the Fediverse and come to look at it as a viable choice, hopefully.
