### About Community Tracking and helping #redditmigration to Kbin and the Fediverse. Say hello to the decentralized and open future. To see latest reeddit blackout info, see here: https://reddark.untone.uk/

That's pretty impressive, I have two accounts but think I've settled on kbin
I personally have accounts on both.
Me too, but I find myself clicking over here more often
I really like kbin, but one of the communities I like on Lemmy isn't reachable from here yet.
So I'll use two accounts for now, it's not that bad really.
This was years overdue. Glad to see Reddit die. It was too stagnated and was just really poorly managed.
But a total of 125k across the fediverse, a lot of which who will leave after getting fed up with the bugs, is hardly Reddit dying. Unfortunately.
Reddit will die because it’s content creators are no longer there. It’s moderators who are the backbone of the site are leaving in droves. The site may exist but it won’t be the Reddit that was.
I'm just on Kbin. Got a long way to go before we are anywhere near reddit numbers, but as long as there is content to interact with, smaller might be better
I have a feeling a lot of people do have double accounts. Do you have any numbers of before the reddit fuckuppery of late? I’d have thought it would be more than 125k, since there were many many millions affected, right?
I have an account on both, but I find myself depending more time on Kbin. I like the interface here.
I'm sure many are waiting for the 2 days to be up and rejoin their subreddits. Hopefully they see the light and come to the fediverse. The downside is that much traffic at once would destroy all fediverse servers. A slow trickle is better
But to be fair, the CloudFlare DDoS protection needs to be dropped so kbin.social, where most users and content are, is able to federate properly. This is a huge obstacle, especially when some are complaining that we need to register on other instances and not crash this one (e.g. fedia.io). Fedia has pretty much no content.
I just wish kbin.social was installable as a PWA on my phone like Fedia is (Pixel 6 Pro)
From what I can tell, Kbin recently got PWA support and some people have already installed it. But with the Cloudflare setup alongside federation this too broke, and now the manifest does not work correctly.
Waiting out a few weeks before badgering anyone about it myself 🌝
Edit: the PWA is working again!
Next stop: collapsible comments, and the app to find system screen orientation support 🙏
Interesting. On IPhone you can, so it's weird that you can't on Pixel.
I doubt it's a PWA. A PWA is still active even when you aren't using it. Allows for notifications and picking up where you left off. What you probably have is a web link on your home page, which can be done in Android as well.
Confirmed. On my Android (Samsung) it's just a link. When I did it on an iPhone (iPhone 6 in fact), it was a proper PWA. Not sure why it works as a PWA only on iPhone but not on Android.
I tried to run Lighthouse through Chrome dev tools on kbin.social but it seems like CloudFlare is throwing that off.
Lighthouse reports that fedia.io isn't PWA compliant due to a single issue in the manifest file (probably forgot to update a url from kbin to fedia or something trivial like that).
Edit: and a day later, with CloudFlare off, I get the install option and the true PWA.
