@soweli There is certainly some truth to that, but
it gets easeir farily quickly; and
it's worth the effort! Other platforms don't give you the same power and breadth of access across the fediverse.
You'll find you get more interaction from within kbin (and also from Lemmy) if you use 'Threads' rather than 'Posts' (like this). Posts sit in the Microblog and are more aligned to Mastodon way of working - they are harder to see unless people already follow you.
Can we PLEASE make the top bar be customizable already? Or at least filter NSFW by default? It's a really bad look whenever I open this and "jailbait" is at the top of my screen almost every time.
@jcrm Lol - I figured out how to do this accidentally. You may have noticed that Jailbait doesn't appear in the top bar anymore.
It's because I posted this to it (sfw and 18+ by a long shot, but you'll still want eyebleach). Apparently that top bar of communities prioritizes those that have no posts. Take a look - you'll see every suggested community is empty. Posting to one removes it from the selection algorithm.
Pinging @ernest as it looks like the sorting on that top bar algorithm is achieving the opposite of its intended purpose.

Great article by @evanprodromou . I completely agree, #ActivityPub has to win if we want to have a great social web. Don't get seduced by the shiny marketing of the next VC driven social network (protocol).
Stevia, a zero-calorie sugar substitute, is recognized as safe by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). In vitro and in vivo studies showed that stevia has antiglycemic action and antioxidant effects in adipose tissue and the vascular wall, reduces blood pressure levels and hepatic steatosis, stabilizes the atherosclerotic plaque, and ameliorates liver and kidney damage. The metabolism of steviol glycosides is dependent upon gut microbiota, which breaks down glycosides into steviol that can be absorbed by the host. In this review, we elucidated the effects of stevia’s consumption on the host’s gut microbiota. #Stevia#kombucha#ikombucha_ro#ikombucha https://www.mdpi.com/2076-2607/10/4/744/htm
I have IBS and sugar makes it act up. I use stevia extract as a substitute in products, and I AM constantly working on improving my gut biome health. This was a dense but good read.
What's your favorite #Fediverse client of choice, and why? It can be web, desktop, or mobile. We're just at a point where there's so many different options available!
Mark Zuckerberg talks about #Threads and interoperability of social networks
#Fediseer started as a way to find spam servers on #Lemmy, and is now quickly expanding into the wider fediverse to become a crowd-sourced place to exchange information about other fediverse servers
government of the German state of Saxony joins the fediverse
Is the Fediverse the start of taking back ownership of the platform? Do we need an ActivityPub for ecommerce, streaming, news articles? What else? #activitypub#technofeudalism#fediverse
