Tell me about it!
You could have been Danny69 though. So close to greatness.
Damn! Maybe next time!
My man!
This is my preferred username. My reddit name is similar, but not the same, because this was taken there.
Since it's all based on federated servers I doubt taken usernames will ever become the same problem as on centralized platforms. After all, you can simply register a username taken on one server on another. You could even host your own server and have unlimited new usernames etc.
The beauty of the fediverse
I'm gonna set up an instance just for my multiple personalities. What could go wrong?
Cheese was already taken 😭
username checks out
I'm glad to have gotten my username on most services. Wish I could get it on Xbox Live though.
I fucked up and used the same name
And with multiple domains, if it's taken one place it might not be another.
am sour ._.
Am Blegh
Finally no dashes or underscores!
Hi,
Transitioning user from reddit here. I think I am having more difficulty picking up on this fediverse thing than I should be. I am on karab.in kbin instance, but not able to see anything outside of kbin. It is actually tough to see anything on kbin even to set up my feed. Any time i search the bar at the top I get a 500 server error. Right now I am only able to look at the trending magazines and when I sort that by active it only gives me ones with 1 or 2 subs and no content. It is making it really tough to migrate from reddit. Am I missing a step? Is there an issue with the search feature currently? I know this probably isn't the right place to post this, but I can't even search for the right place.
You can search under magazines to find new communities the dev is also working on improving the federation
Search is currently wonky. You can wait a few day for it to be fixed, or you can go to https://karab.in/magazines and use the search bar there. Anything without and @ is hosted in your own instance, and the ones with the @ sign will have the instance they're from after the middle @. For example, this thread should show as @ fediverse @ kbin.social, because you're actually replying to a post on kbin.social :)
Kbin and other instances are pretty much overwhelmed with the rapid rise in users. Kbin is still in beta, mobile app in development but @ernest is doing an amazing job here at kbin.social. Give the whole space a little time and things will improve.
I found myself with the same issues, just use it for a bit, lurk in magazines and you'll get the gist.
Thanks,
I can definitely be patient and I understand how complicated this can be to set up. Just being new, I’m not sure what is broke from the surge in user base or what I just am not picking up on. But I’m looking forward to seeing it improve.
The sdc-prefix doesn't mean anything to me anymore but after all these years, I feel naked without it.
Mom says its my turn on the account naming scheme!
username checks out
My username is usually available everywhere and I'm content with it, but I'm happy for you guys
Early adopter of a particular instance? Sure.
Someone can still grab the same name and post from another instance.
I didn't even think, I just used the same as my reddit one.
Which is fine, I have 99 on everything else, being just gk would be weird.
Here's the downside, your username will be remade on another instance exactly as it is here. Unless you make your username everywhere. So it's kinda like having bob@gmail.com but someone else has bob@hotmail.com. I think there are probably some super autistic people that might grab their nicks on every big server currently lol
lol probably. but i found my main community here i can still interact with all the others. So why even care ^^
Yeah that's why you gotta be an original individual.

That has admittedly been my petty joy in jumping ship. Sparkly new, like untrodden snow.
I have this same 5 character name most places. Except for Twitter and Instagram. The jerks.
So, no, not really.
