I know they roughly explained why, but it seems pretty insane they jumped the gun without having any of the users input and want people to go to another instance just for that community
“I don’t get why are you so upset. It’s not a big deal.”
first off I’m not? I’m just confused why the entire modteam just refused to get everyone’s input and did what they wanted anyway which is why people left reddit in the first place.
Second, it’s not convenient to just close a community without anyone’s knowledge and punish the users who don’t want to move so suddenly.
You don’t have to move your account. You can subscribe to the other community on the other instance from your existing account. That’s the beauty of the Fediverse.
Your first point…I’m sorry, it just looks like a classic “strawman”. All I will say is that there are many reasons to leave reddit, but this particular argument fails on a simple premise: # most of the time, users upset with specific mods likely did not leave reddit, but rather just created new subreddits in direct competition. But there is no singular reason to leave reddit; even so, the most popular reason currently is something entirely different.
Second, the community explicitly was not closed; it was relocated. As others have pointed out already, this does not remove or restrict your access in any meaningful way.
Last but not least, there reasons are very clearly and directly communicated. I see no fault with their reasoning, or the action they took.
I get the feeling that you don’t understand that you don’t need to sign up at the other instance to subscribe to the community. You can just click the link and subscribe from your current account, and everything will be as it was.
There’s a reason why I don’t use kbin. Well, two. 1. Kbin federation sucks and is weird as fuck and keeps turning off and on, and 2. Where API, I script the shit out of everything, API pls. Apiiiiiii
I know :) I’m partially kidding. I tried kbin. The UI was too weird for me. That’s actually the main reason I didn’t use it. It felt less customizable. I had a hard time not seeing just the defaults. In fact I’m not sure in all this time I’ve subbed to anything from my kbin acc.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]
No such thing. Ask away!

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That’s it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it’s in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

I think it is very well explained. You don’t need to go to other instance to follow them.
They are just merging with another community for convenience.
I don’t get why are you so upset. It’s not a big deal.
Also, you can create your own community in any instance you want.
Send me a link please. I’m kinda slow learning lemmy.

Unless you’re on Kbin, which is not federated.

Not if you’re on kbin. The new server isn’t federated with kbin.social for some reason.
Man this defediverse stuff gets tiring
There’s a reason why I don’t use kbin. Well, two. 1. Kbin federation sucks and is weird as fuck and keeps turning off and on, and 2. Where API, I script the shit out of everything, API pls. Apiiiiiii
They’re working on the API right now. Kbin is much newer than Lemmy. Lemmy’s been around for like 3 years while Kbin is a few months old.
I know :) I’m partially kidding. I tried kbin. The UI was too weird for me. That’s actually the main reason I didn’t use it. It felt less customizable. I had a hard time not seeing just the defaults. In fact I’m not sure in all this time I’ve subbed to anything from my kbin acc.
Is it defederated? If not, afaik, someone will have to search for it first (and then post/comment? I forget. Lol). It doesn’t federate automatically.
There’s almost 900 subscribers on kbin that cannot access lemdro.id at all.
kbin.social seems to be to blame for this, smaller instances work: https://fedia.io/m/[email protected]/t/76197/META-The-merger-from-lemmy-world-has-locked-out-k-bin-members#comments
