@stillnotahero Ask away!

I've been on the Fediverse (Mastodon) for well over a year, and Kbin for a couple of weeks now - after 12 years of Redditing.

/r/firefox's new official home is in the Fedi!

From /r/Firefox:

All legacy technical posts will remain available so that searching for help related to the browser is still available, but henceforth and until the reddit admins appropriately reply to our concerns, the only new submissions allowed will be ones that contain the cuddly fuzzy little animals from which the subreddit indirectly received its name:‌

The red panda! Also known as fire foxes. ‌

If you are looking for technical posts, we now have an official community on Kbin. Keep in mind that Lemmy also federates with Kbin. We continue to be around on Matrix as well.

The subreddit & Kbin magazine aren't run by Mozilla but are still a very important forum for the browser.

Do give them a follow on @firefox - you should be able to follow that from most of the Fediverse i.e. Mastodon, Calckey, etc etc etc

@Sausage @kev @manchester Gah this is all frustratingly inconsistent. I know it's still early days for kbin and I've been spoilt by the relative maturity of Mastodon, but even so, surely the whole point of the Fediverse is federation!

@kev I just figured out the subscription, too.

I needed to search for @manchester in the kbin search tool. And now I'm subscribed (from my kbin account).

@kev Haha I'm the complete opposite. My career has been completely on back-end systems. I can design you an elegant API with my eyes closed, but frequently I see people complaining about UI/UX issues and I genuinely never clocked that there was a problem until someone pointed it out.

@kev Yep no problem, I'm definitely not demanding "GIMME A SOLUTION NOW!!" but it's somewhat annoying that the federation in the threadiverse doesn't seem to work as well as it should.

@kev Trying to work out how to subscribe to that from kbin.social. Putting that link into the kbin search box returns no results.
