The Last Kingdom.

I can't quite put my finger on it but the series really keeps me watching.

 

After multiple EU-based users complained about not being able to access Threads app through VPN, Meta confirmed it is blocking such efforts.

Flashback to when my sister in law had an electric car and felt compelled to plug it in at my place everytime she visited.

 

I'm old now. I've finally realised I get more enjoyment from watching someone play than to actually play the game. Why is that? Do you experience that as well?

So what you're saying is we need to open a Threads account and become Nazis?

As Moderator to !BestOf, this is my biggest fear. I've been working pretty extensively on this community in my spare time and I'm afraid that if the Moderators of r/BestOf decide to federate, we will lose. I'm not entirely nervous about fragmenting the community so much as just being r/LesserBestOf. By design, this community shouldn't really be fragmentated unless we decide to become BestOf something specific.

Not sure what I expected, but yep... that's a toaster.

I've been on Reddit for like 12 years and I was never banned by an admin. The fact that you got banned twice is sus.

I did get banned from blackpeopletwitter for being white.

I disagree. A rubber band and a donut do not have an 'in' and 'out'.

I would add the following:

!newcommunities @lemmy.world
!truegaming @kbin.social
!fediverse @kbin.social
!BestOf @kbin.social
!askkbin @kbin.social
!RedditMigration @kbin.social

Honestly, I think it's important that people sub to all the same-subject communities across the Fediverse. However.. the only time it's really important to make the distinction is while creating a post. I hope we get the equivalent of 'multireddits' for all spaces with the same subject.

 

Four individuals have agreed to be locked inside NASA's Mars simulator for just over a year. And they're being paid surprisingly little.

 

As July 1 approaches and the Reddit Ark is set to arrive, we would like to know your thoughts on how we can grow this community.

Please share your thoughts and ideas on how this community can continue to distinguish itself.

Happy browsing!

When first logged into kbin, I noticed a lot of important communities were missing so I created a few in hopes of putting them in the right hands when things took off. I'm at about that point where I'm ready to give some because there's no way I can manage 5+ at the same time.

I have promoted some users to moderator, but how do I give them completely?

 

I'm the creator of @Bestof or !BestOf@kbin.social and I've been trying to grow the community for the last couple of weeks. It was an uphill battle as I could only get 5-10 members every day, sometimes even much less.

After finally hitting 100 subscribers yesterday, 200 subscribers this morning, and nearly at 300 subscribers this afternoon, I believe my community is really fruiting!

Thank you so much for your interest. I will do my best to manage this community and have it flourish. I can envision how fantastic it will be, and I hope it contributes to your enjoyment of the Fediverse!

As July 1 approaches, and the impending flux of new visitors is at our doorstep, @BestOf is looking for Moderators.

We believe it is in the best interest of the community that most instances are represented fairly at the Moderator level. We can also insure the proper functionality of this community everywhere.

To be eligible as a Moderator, you must:

  1. Be an experienced user of your instance.
  2. Be willing to be a moderator for extended period of time. If you are already a moderator, that would be fantastic.
  3. You must be kind, caring, understanding and willing to help those in the community, no matter their disability, skill level, background etc. You must have compassion even when exercising the moderator functions.
  4. You must not treat the visitors unfairly.
  5. You must ensure that you'll play an active role as a moderator so that the community is as clean, safe and friendly as it can be.
  6. You must already be a subscriber.

Please send me a PM to flag your interest.

Happy Browsing!

As moderator, we will let the community manage the content and decide what is worthy of the frontpage.

I understand the community looks empty on Lemmy, but I can assure you it's not. There must be an issue with the integration between kbin and lemmy, it should be fixed and the real numbers should come up eventually.
