Yeah, I’m really excited for kbin to come in to its own, because rn it feels like every post is about reddit. I get why, it makes sense, but that’s not what I’m here for.
I feel ya, but honestly I am also kinda relieved to see people talking about it. I want updates [not forever, but for now] and I also don’t want to support Reddit in the meantime.
I also think of it like this:
If someone hands me a microphone and tells me to be funny, I fail. I won’t be funny, I doubt I’ll even make sense. I would need to prepare. Putting me on the spot is antithetical to the creative process.
I think the most difficult thing about this situation is this - we all know that we need to contribute here to keep it going. But it needs to come naturally. Part of that natural process is all of us talking about the metaphorical shipwreck we were just in. I’m sure it’ll pass, but in a sense, the ship is still sinking lol
Anyway, sorry for the stream of consciousness. I agree with you, I wish we’d move on. I bet in 2 months, we will.
Give it a few weeks. It was the same on Mastodon during heights of the #TwitterMigration. Everyone was talking about how they left the ship, what’s different about the new place, and keep talking about the sinking ship.
After a while the new place felt familiar and that talk got less, and those meta-conversations were replaced with conversations about other things. If we get to that on Kbin eventually, that’d be great.

It gets a lot better if you switch to your subscribed feed. The Reddit-focused communities are very active, and the posts float high.
