A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Looks like KBin has an edge over Lemmy now in terms of monthly active users.

It's obviously a pretty silly thing, and is not in any way indicative of which project is "better" or more "long-term viable" or anything — instances of both federate with one another, and with the rest of fedi, so it's all one happy family.

That said, it's notable. KBin is a relative newcomer to the "Reddit-like fedi instance" game, and also does not have the tankie baggage.

Anyway, the more, the merrier!

I'm not able to join magazines on fedia.io either.

Huh. That's surprising. I just joined https://fedia.io/m/cybersecurity from my Lemmy account on szmer.info.

Did you find it by searching for [email protected] on your instance?

Edit: Interestingly, I was eventually able to join Kbit magazines by pasting the full URL into the search - it seems like this works but using the ! format doesn't, at least on my server.
