@dominoko Yep. Search on federated social media doesn't actually search text, only hashtags. This makes it so only people who want their post to be found can make it easily findable; cuts down on the quote retweet dunk kinda stuff.

Hopefully it's actual gameplay and not RP that makes it long. I much prefer faster fractals, but I'll take what I can get.
It's slow going for now. I'm just glad we have a reddit-like place to go in case reddit collapses further.
Anet does seem to be keeping things fairly close to the chest nowadays. They're only giving details on the next update and keeping any future plans vague at best.
TY, try it now.
iirc that was happening for kbin.social for a while during a ddos attack. cloudflare does mess with federation quite a bit.
Both of those links lead to 404s.
I'll make a Lemmy account later tonight and see if I can figure it out. Thanks!
As much as I'd like that to happen, this part of the fediverse is definitely not ready for a mass migration of users. For now, it's only longtime users and early adopters. The average user probably wouldn't be okay with downtime, and the average moderator would be woefully underequipped to manage the community.
The beauty of federated social media is that it doesn't matter which one "wins". Once bugs are sorted out, Kbin can see Lemmy's content and Lemmy can see Kbin's.
Everything here is connected, so it ultimately won't matter which platform or server you choose. Obviously there are levers for admins to defederate (or, refuse to communicate with) from servers who host illegal content or enable spammers. This is generally a last resort though; most admins believe strongly in keeping everything connected.
@Ravi @Leiesoldat A lot of the power users who submitted the bulk of the content have stopped posting. Casual lurkers will follow eventually.
I remember when all of my gaming friends were on Skype and Teamspeak. It took some time, but now we all use Discord. Someday, Discord will die too and we'll move on to Revolt or something else.
It'll take time for reddit to die and habits to break. But we'll be here once folks are ready. https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/potemkin-ai/#hey-guys
