I know you've already done a ton of hard work on this, but are there any plans to try to integrate kbin?

Like, I can view my kbin communities anyway, but I can't moderate one from mlmym/lemmy.blahaj, for example.

If not, no biggie. Really like the interface for now.

To add to that, there was a bit of a time limit in which we had reason to believe we needed to secure the name so that it wouldn't be taken by certain persons and then just sat upon with no activity.

Yeah that's a good option that I WISH Reddit had... had. But only for the creator maybe?

By the way I'm commenting this on the mlmym thing you made!

Re: the rules on the side: "Alt-Text for vision-impaired users in the post body or in the comments is highly encouraged. Just pretend you are describing a photo to someone on the phone."

Some instances have "alternate text" boxes that don't show up for everyone but allow screen readers to read it, but if not, just put it in the body. Or as a comment.

It's alternate text for people with visual impairments/screen readers.

I wrote it.

It's still lacking the collapse a comment ability! I am like when are they going to fix that?

But it's a much much newer instance. We'll see, but I think it has potential.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It's a good idea actually and I could see maybe having some different mods and/or handing over one to someone else at some point.

What's wrong with subscribing to both? Then you'd have both in your feed; you wouldn't have to go anywhere.

But yeah we also wanted to make sure to get the name in a couple of places. Didn't expect our resignation letters & whatnot to go a bit more public and get influxes of users and all.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah people have thrown around the idea of eventually doing something like that. So like you'd subscribe to "AccidentalRenaissance" and get all communities with that name as one feed or whatever.

Hope that happens.

Yeah I think people are trying to force/recreate Reddit in its entirety on a single platform, and that's not going to happen.

And I didn't think of it, but yeah having one to check out when the other one's down is good.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

We weren't sure which to go with; also... there was a whole thing with the creator of the OG sub; we were a bit concerned that they would create those and just sit on them, so we wanted to go ahead and have at least one or two places for AR.

So we did one on lemmy and one on kbin (I think I put one on like... squabbles too?) (I should check that...) and will kinda go with whichever takes off.
