They aren’t connected except that the same mods run them. We don’t, or haven’t so far, posted duplicate posts. So that shouldn’t be an issue.

And then we’re also paying attention and when it seems appropriate, we will likely close down one and redirect traffic to the one we keep up.

Well I’m an idiot lol!

Anyhow, thx for passing my question on haha!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I actually thought of you when I posted it bc I remember when you (or your spouse?) posted it to the OG sub and whatnot! I was like… should I try to get in touch first to see if it’s ok to post it, and then I forgot to do that and posted it anyway lol.

Yeah that’s the main issue w/kbin.

I actually prefer kbin.(social). It hasn’t had nearly as much downtime and errors and whatnot as I’ve experienced on lemmy. Which is remarkable since Lemmy has been around for a few years whereas kbin is fairly recent.

Like, there are always growing pains, so I get it, and with all the influx of new users there can be issues, so not a big deal.

I think Lemmy’s more popular mostly because for whatever reason it’s the catchall name for the fediverse right now. IDK if there’s any like (very mild) astroturfing going on, or the name is just catchy, or what.
