At the moment lemmy and kbin are both pretty early in their develoment cycles - kbin had so many issues that we couldn't get it to run at all, lemmy runs, but it's far from being smooth.

We'll keep an eye on both and see how the development goes, and we might consider a kbin instance once it's reached a certain maturity. But, and that's a big but, we've got a community that's attracted over 200 people in a matter of days, and unless there's a process to migrate all those users smoothly from one instance to another, it's pretty unlikely that we're gonna replace this lemmy instance with a kbin based platform entirely.

Some users brought up posting interesting pics of sticks, and I'm all for it

I'm looking forward to the anarchy of the internet

Realistically speaking there's gonna be porn tho.

So much "interesting as fuck" porn.

it kinda does!

we had some spam from a user from another instance earlier and at first it looked like changes made to comments through an admin's actions (especially deleting it) wouldn't federate

now it looks like these changes federate sometimes, but not consistently. Lemmy's moderation tools definitely need a bit of work 😅

We're not gonna defederate just because we kinda don't like another community's theme.

Our goal as admins is to protect our users, so if another instance makes no effort whatsoever to follow our rules (read them here: https://obeythesystem.com/community-rules/, tl;dr: "don't be a dick") or has a spam problem, that's when we'll consider defederating.

I guess then we'll have to get you to a ripperdock ASAP!

Oh, I loved the game from day one!

I had two, maybe three gamebreaking glitches in the 200-ish hours it took me to 100% the game, but they've either been fixed through updates, or the modding community had a fix for it

Sure, the launch was messy, but I love the game, and I have no reason to not support the team behind it <3

wait, why are we not doing preorders? D:

I have a couple of automations running, but my favourite is one of the simpler ones:

When I set an alarm on my phone all lights turn off except for a single night light (LEDs under my bed), and when I then put my phone down on the wireless charger near my bed (I only use that one wireless charger, so the automation just checks for any wireless charger), the light turns off completely and my phone screen turns off.

If I remove the phone from the charger before my alarm's gone off, the night light turns back on, putting it back on the charger turns the night light back off, etc.

The automation does multiple useful things at once:

• I haven't used a light switch at home in forever
• I haven't forgotten to set an alarm in forever
• I get very obvious feedback that my phone starts charging
• I have a night light that's easily turned on/off, without the need for motion sensors in the bedroom that could have false positives
• I have a clear trigger for when I'm in bed, that I'm using for example for my white noise machine that turns on for 45 minutes when I go to bed

maybe :D

it should probably include a link to https://browse.feddit.de/ and a quick note about the syntax for communities - eg. !cyberpunk2077@dataterm.digital

PSA, since this instance is super new and not well federated yet, if you search for a community on another instance and it doesn't show up right away, you might need to refresh the page!
