It's definitely quieter than it was back in june but Lemmy/Kbin are very much alive at this point.
I've been able to not come back to reddit since then, and I'm not really missing it tbh

Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

Mostly same for me. The only thing I still use reddit for, are those weirdly specific Google searches when I need to troubleshoot a tech or game issue. Append "reddit" to almost any of your web searches and the results are usually much more helpful than what you get on official forums (especially the official Microsoft support page, fuck that :c) or the crap that Google throws on the first results page.
Yeah, it will take years to topple reddit on that front, but let's not be hasty and move one step at a time
Oh absolutely. I kind of like that Beehaw isn't moving at lightspeed. It has somewhat of a forum-y feel to it and less like social media.
Beehaw definitely reminds me of the couple of vBulletin forums I used to post on back in the day. Smaller scale, mild pace, and I start to recognize people after sticking around a while. Much more of a community feel. I really missed that.

I'm quite content with the amount of activity, and I do my best to comment and post when I can.
Yeah, it feels like there's less drama.
The content is a bit down, but it feels stable and if pretty good quality, and the experience is better than it was in the summer.
I'm optimistic that the next time a major platform has bad news, more people will come and more will stick around.
Until then, the feel is somewhat more intimate. A small forum feel isn't necessarily bad.
Hello friend from Beehaw. As a kbinaught/Kbinite (not sure what term we settled on) things seem to be going good I have noticed recently sh.itjust.works has been all about ai images of sailor moon and an anime instance was one of the latest to get defederated from ml.
Love that the fash instance is still up to being complete incels. Thanks :)
Wait, what’s this about fash (I take it you mean fascist?) instance? Am I missing something here?
I stick to my communities so I’m not the most well-informed Lemmy.
If I remember right they were defederated for being overall toxic and there were a number of nazi-esque people on that instance specifically. I may be totally misremembering though.
Please don’t get me started about the Sailor Moon thing 🙄
I’m the owner of that community and it’s been getting a bit tiresome to see nothing but Sailor Moon stuff come by. I’m not saying anything about it though and hope people will get bored with it and it’ll blow over. In then end it is a harmless phase and everyone is having fun, I don’t want to ruin it for others.
But I’m looking forward to the day that it’ll be as welcome as another beans post :)
no beans?
i had spark of creativity i then poured into startrek.website memes. i feel spent though. need some new juju
