I'm making a list of nsfw communities/magazines on lemmy/kbin (NSFW411). I'm currently working on lemmynsfw.com and will try other lemmy instances after, so would you mind collecting more nsfw magazines from kbin?

More for other users reading this than you.

kbin.social has access to both beehaw and lemmy.world

This one seems a bit less silly of an electric plane idea: https://www.vox.com/recode/2023/2/2/23582152/nasa-x-plane-boeing-air-force-sustainable-aircraft

Apparently the engines use regular fuel for takeoff but use battery for the rest of the flight.

That makes sense

I did read them, and I agreed with them just fine, but I still got rejected. It just doesn't feel necessary to affirm a philosophy when my aim is to just participate in a nice place.

I don't want a 1-1 reddit replacement. I want something better, which is why I'm trying to replace reddit in the first place.

I came to Beehaw from Reddit as well during the most recent wave, and I didn't come here really expecting Beehaw to replace Reddit for anything more than the content format.

Same for me, but my application was still rejected. I wanted something better, but that doesn't change the fact that it would replace reddit for me.

they're welcome to interact with our instance obviously as long as they abide by the rules

What about the people abiding by the rules who thought lemmy.world or sh.itjust.works would be fine enough instances to sign up with? Feels like throwing out plenty of babies with the bathwater, even if the bathwater was particularly dirty.

I suppose that that confusion was why my application wasn't accepted. I wanted something better, but that doesn't change the fact that it would replace reddit for me. I think I would fit in just fine, agree with the philosophy, and help foster the community you're trying to build, but trying to be a true believer in any philosophy wouldn't be my primary motivator. I adapt to where I am.

How does that square with beehaw gaining significant numbers of users as part of reddit's recent migration? They wouldn't be looking for somewhere to join if they felt like reddit would continue to work for them, and I'd say that automatically makes replacing reddit their primary goal.

@LambentMote
I thought I engaged pretty well with the questions, but I answered them from a simple, matter-of-fact perspective, basically just saying that it's a big instance and I'd like to be a part of it, then answering #3 with the communities I'd like to participate in. Do I have to specifically affirm the philosophical underpinnings of how beehaw operates? I'm fine with that and I do agree with them with how I would participate on beehaw, it just didn't seem necessary when applying.

@Ashiette For beehaw registration. I'm accessing it from kbin, but especially in light of defederating from two of the biggest open-registration lemmy instances, I'd like to be on beehaw directly.

 

Is reapplying a thing? How do I know if I should reapply?

 

I'm guessing it has something to do with mastodon, since microblogging is interoperable with mastodon like how threads are interoperable with lemmy.

Example post:
https://kbin.social/m/technology@beehaw.org/p/434431

I can see this post on beehaw here:
https://beehaw.org/post/565892

But next to it in technology@beehaw.org are threads that show up in the threads section of kbin.social/m/technology@beehaw.org

How are threads and microblogs distinguished on different instances if they're both interoperable with both lemmy and mastodon like this appears to be? How can you access the general mastodon feed from kbin?

 

Apparently there's some sort of fix in the pipeline related to this, but at the very least, I'd like to be able to type kbin.social/m/kbinmeta and be redirected to kbin.social/m/kbinMeta
