Maybe it’s nothing, but Reddit seems particularly sensitive towards kbin.
I think its interface is so much more similar to Reddit it scares them 🤞
Tbh lemmy seems more reddity to me. Kbin has the whole microblogging thing too, which differentiates it more imo, tho kbin does seem to be faster and less glitchy (when the servers are up lol)
Kinda wish Jerboa worked with Kbin tho.
Same, though you can follow all the kbin instances from any lemmy account federated with kbin, which is what I do (this is my kbin account, but I’m still subbed to all the same stuff on my lemmy accounts, except my lemmy.world account, which is basically useless since the beehaw defederation, so I don’t use it anymore)
I agree, at least on mobile. I tried both and Lemmy feels like the natural alternative. Kbin reminds me more of old Reddit in UI, but Lemmy reminds me of Apollo UI.
That’s why Kbin feels more like Reddit to me. I was always using old on desktop, and RiF on-the-go.
Yeah that makes sense! I feel like this is why the fediverse might actually work especially well during this battle, being that the battle is literally “everybody uses the site differently and now all of the ways you love to use the site are going away” (obviously not old Reddit but you get the picture)
Old Reddit is 100% slated for execution.
The admins just haven’t given a date.
At least one of them must actively be using it. There is no way it has survived all this time otherwise.
Fair, I only ever used slide for reddit until it started getting glitchy and refused to show gifs a year or so ago, then used sync. Lemmy has a great mobile UI very reminiscent of the old 3rd party reddit apps
Boost was my favorite when I was on Android. I think the only thing I miss are gestures to vote and collapse comments, but the controls are set up well enough to make it a non issue. Props to the lemmy devs
the mlem app is so close to Apollo! I hope we can get something like it for kbin
Someone suggesting a RIF like client got Lemmy is what got me to make the jump over. If Apollo and/or RIF just support other communities, it’s enough to steal a lot of the anti y users
Someone on github is making a translation layer to convert reddit API calls to Lemmy API calls. If that ends up working well, it could be as easy as changing the API URL to make reddit clients work for lemmy
That’s exactly the same shit Elon/Twitter pulled with links to Mastodon.
Spez’s hero, Elon.
So Reddit management is afraid. Good.
“has not been reviewed”
Since when is any content on reddit reviewed, other than mods enforcing sub rules?
I also find this hilarious. If they claim their content to be reviewed now that will be legally disadvantagous with all the nsfw, gore and grey-legal stuff on their site.
I think that message shows when a sub doesn’t have active moderators?
It’s not showing for me. But the sub does currently have 1 mod.
There were some tiny subs I checked out on mobile browser where I got this like a year ago. SO it’s not exactly new. But yeah they were so tiny that it’s plausible they didn’t have an active mod.
A workaround is to add
old.in front of the URL and you will still be able to use it, i.e., https://old.reddit.com/r/kbinmigration)For now. It already tries to redirect you to the new reddit when clicking links in the old reddit.
I use to use a browser extension that would redirect back to old reddit for that. it was very annoying
If you’re tapping on the old ui already and trying to tap on links, I’ve found that if you tap on the ‘comments’ button, you’ll stay in the old ui.
I’ve been using the ‘Old Reddit Redirect’ extension in Firefox for a couple of years now.
I don’t have to worry about typing old. in front of reddit links, and it bypasses that attempt to redirect to new reddit.
Plugging addon to redirect reddit links to archive.org versions: https://lemmy.world/post/146892
You can also add
https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:before the reddit link if the post isn’t on the wayback machine for whatever reason.On duckduckgo you can also search
!cache+ url to do the same thing.And now suddenly I really miss the ability to save posts.
Does Kbin not let you save posts/comments? I’m on a lemmy instance, which has that feature.
Doesn’t seem like it. Good to know though.
This is great. Until the Fediverse amasses more content, Reddit is still the best way to get answers from Google that aren’t just SEO nonsense. Great way to still use Reddit results without using Reddit.
Can’t wait to see what Spez’s golden 'chute looks like.
Judging from his desperation, it’ll look like an anvil if the IPO isn’t successful or doesn’t happen.
Oh yes!
yeah reddit can suck it. There’s a work around with Apollo that allows you to easily open the page in Apollo when you see this pop up. But no more after 30th. Instead for those who have iOS you can use this google cache shortcut. Just hit the share button, and click get cache and it will open up a cached version of the page. It’s works quickly and haven’t had any issues yet. Works for subreddits that went dark too.
Since I’m here, it ain’t working.
Yes, they’ve been doing that since the beginning of the great migration. It is available on desktop.
Competing platforms are scary!!!
You’d think they would be able to compete on merits alone in the free market, but instead they resort to this. Just like Twitter and mastodon. It’s funny how scared they are about something so innocent.
Spez losing it again.
Bwaahaaha, the more they tighten their grip, the more people slip through their fingers!
Spez: Not after we demonstrate the power of this platform. In a way, you have determined the choice of the subreddit that’ll be destroyed first. Since you are reluctant to provide us with the location of the rebel communities, I have chosen to test this forum’s destructive power on your home subreddit of r/furryporn.
Yes, Lord Vader…
Now Steve goes completely crazy!
He’s emulating his hero, Musk.
Elom, w-w-what do you want me to do? They all b-b-bother me! sad spez noises
I’m old, but the whole scene reminds me of Max Headroom.
I’ve seen this before on mobile (web browser) on really small subs. With 1k subscribers, this is the biggest sub that I’ve seen that popup show up for though, but I think every sub I visited on mobile that didn’t have the popup had more subscribers than that.
That said, I could easily see the reddit admins dragging their feet over reviewing and approving this particular sub, unfortunately.
Not sure what’s going on there, but I can see the kbinmigration sub without issues, even without “old” on the front end of the URL. Maybe someone just now “reviewed” it? Or maybe you have the adult content filter turned on? (I have it turned on here, but I think I probably turned it off on reddit at some point.)
It’s blocking the mobile site
