They did specify âwork outâ, letâs see how this goes in a few months time.
hardest part is getting used to the differences. But hopefully enough migrate away.
This one is already really similar to reddit at least, I long for the bar at the top that shows all the communities I'm subbed too, it's definitely possible the people running this one will make changes too
It also desperately needs mobile apps. Using the website on mobile leaves a lot to be desired. That is hopefully coming though
Of course the nice thing is that anyone can create a fediverse mobile app without restrictions.
But apparently, thereâs a mobile app âcoming soonâ - see the bottom of https://kbin.pub
I've had 3 reddit accounts over the entire lifetime of the website. I love Reddit but I won't stand for their greed. It's unacceptable.
I've been using it since like, 2013, feels like an end of an era, this site seems really similar, hopefully it has lasting power
Agreed. It's been so long but I think that's exactly why Reddit needs to go under. Like yahoo or any other business that makes mistakes.
