And I have nowhere to go but Kbin because Beehaw is unstable and I don’t want to open up a fourth account. Accumulating fediverse accounts should be the last thing you do

It feels different to use fediverse-based forum sites, but they’re growing rapidly, and you find new communities/magazines pretty much every day, and even though there’s some fracturing going on (need I remind you of Beehaw defederating from .world).
I like this a lot more than the social media-esque approach of modern Reddit. It has very much become like Twitter, with it’s endless feed of dopamine-inducing algorithms and whatnot. The blackout is a bit annoying, but I agree with the fact people should protest decisions if they ruin things for people.
I’m liking the experience so far.

They did make a poll and then later announced they’ll be banning underage anime art and IRL imagery . But not art of cute/short characters because it’s impossible to discern if they’re over 18 or not. It’s the whole Pokemon debate all over again.

So, it is recommended to either join one that fits your niche or maybe to self-host?

According to fedidb.org, the entirety of the Lemmy network (that uses the Lemmy software) has 140,442, while the entirety of the KBin network (that uses the KBin software) has 32,830.

I can’t see new posts from kbin on l.world anymore so idk what’s happenning

Old posts and comments will be seen, new ones won’t be seen. One-sided defederation is like two linked servers delinking from one another - you keep the old info but you basically desync and one side can’t see the other if they add new stuff.
That’s why I have accounts on both kbin and l.world - so that I am able to access more information as it gets updated. It seems the influx of new users is leading to a fracturing and a defederation of the biggest instances, so having one account for all of the threadiverse is not viable.

I like the site, it helps me a lot.

I was never able to sign up or log into Beehaw. It’s very limited in terms of who it allows to sign up, and the waitlist is probably incredibly long.
This cutoff means that I’ll have to live without being able to participate in a lot of discussions, which defeats the purpose of joining the fediverse entirely.
It’s just as useful to me as using Reddit right now, even less so with how much less popular Lemmy instances are currently.
