People need to realize you can use alternatives

Whaaat there are alternatives?

[–] alternativeninja@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 2 years ago (3 children)

You can join any Lemmy instance! They all talk with each other.

[–] chucha@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 2 years ago

They all talk with each other.

Except the ones that don't.

[–] themadcodger@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Or kbin. Or if you're really ambitious, one of the non-link aggregation products.

[–] alternativeninja@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Also I may switch to kbin because it seems like it is more friendly with lemmy instances, than lemmy is with kbin instances. I wish there were more instance providers for it though. kbin.social is slow.

It's super new still and the dev is working on getting better instructions up on how to spin up an instance. After that they'll start popping up.

[–] Kichae@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

There will be. The install instructions just need to be polished up, and the tires need to be kicked.

I can't get the docker image to build, for instance.

[–] BrewJajaja@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Whaaat? So confusing!

[–] alternativeninja@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

non-link aggregation products.

What do you mean? Like old forums, SomethingAwful, facepunch? I almost forgot about those.

[–] MeowdyPardner@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

I think they mean other fediverse clients, like any mastodon instance, any calckey instance, etc. (not sure if there are more that work currently). It will just show communities as an account where all the posts in the "subreddit" look like tweets and the comments are replies. It's pretty neat and gives us a glimpse of a world where you can comment on a reddit post / reply to a comment from a twitter account/ui.

[–] themadcodger@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Sorry, my bad. I meant like Calckey/Mastodon (Twitter), Friendica (FB), Pixelfed (IG), Peertube (YT), etc. Some would be easier than others though.

[–] Kichae@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Friendica, Calckey, stuff like that

Not if your instance has others blocked. Check at the bottom of the page and click "instances" to see who you can't see.
