kbin.social was the first thing on the recommended list.

    thanks for the list of the kbin instances! Hopefully we can migrate our accounts someday. Joining kbin.social at first has been helpful to me to not have to go through that growing pain of not being able to see many communities/magazines

      Yeah no problem! I think that’s the link we should be passing around to people instead of flooding kbin.social (if we can). I’ve tried to populate my instance with all the top popular communities from other instances (including Lemmy) because I know that lack of content is a turn off for instances other than the “main” ones.

        I think there needs to be an easier way to see communities/magazines across aggregators because I see the lemmy browse sites for communities won’t show any kbin magazines, which I think will only hurt the point of decentralizing but being able to access all the content in the fediverse.

        I’m not sure if kbin actually suffers the same way, because I’m on kbin.social which I’m guessing just already has all the current lemmy communities added. But if there’s a new lemmy community, and no one added it to kbin.social (how would they find out?) then no one will find out if this lemmy community blows up and becomes really popular right?

          What do you mean? I’m on lemmy.world and I’m able to see kbin magazines like this one in the “Communities” list.

            oh, maybe it’s cuz I’m on a less populated server for lemmy. I’m on lemmy.studio and it’s been good, but it’s actually really hard to know about any non-lemmy communities. I believe you can only search up “Redditmigration” on lemmy.world since someone already did the initial work to subscribe to it. On lemmy.studio, most of even the lemmy communities aren’t on there yet, but at least the lemmy browser will let you see what’s out there, so you can know to do the work to be the first to subscribe to it on that less populated server. However, there would be no way to know about the kbin communities if all I’m looking at is that lemmy browser

            I’m guessing kbin would have the same issue( but im on a popular server there, kbin.social, so I can’t confirm. Everything here, like you has been searchable for me probably cuz it’s big so people have already subscribed)

      I’m somewhat of a greybeard, I joined Kbin in the old times when there was only kbin.social. A whole week ago. Looking forward to account migration too, just for load-balancing.
