If I understand correctly (and I probably don’t,) there is a fix but it hasn’t been implemented yet.

Just a warning, blocking instances on kbin leads to an issue where you can’t see any of the comments on your own threads, and your own threads don’t show up in your own feed.

Here’s $20 for this.

Thank god the typo was fixed on the meme template

For people who claim to value faith so much, a lot of Christians sure do tend to argue in bad faith.

You can’t smell what the rock is cookin, because he hasn’t done the dishes yet

I love the cat looking like, “uh what are you doing?”

He’s soggy now

Hell if I know. I still say music “rocks.”

New Narnia album?

Look, they work hard and deserve a break, ok?

Monorail, Who Needs a Kwik E Mart, We Do

Because people got tired of scrolling past the same giant dog image at the end of every other post

Everyone’s life and experience are different.

Why is not all of that cheese melted?

This is exactly like Reddit. On Reddit, if you subscribed to “gaming”, you would not also see posts from “games.” You would have to subscribe to both to see posts from both. If you want to see posts from [email protected], but also from music communities on other instances, you would subscribe to both.

They don’t technically have the same name. The full name will be something like “[email protected]” or “[email protected]”. The problem is whatever interface op is using isn’t showing the full community name which includes which instance it’s on.

You look at each community and decide for yourself if it’s one you want to follow. Just like in Reddit when you had gaming, games, truegaming, etc, each one will have different people, different rules, different kinds of conversations, and different levels of activity.

I guess the reality is that I want at least SOME controversy. I don’t know why the only two choices have to be “fascism-enabling hellscape” or “nobody saying anything interesting ever.” There has to be at least some possible middle ground!

When I first started using mastodon, I started believing it’s actually a tool to train people to stop using social media

The hashtags are also kinda useless in another way. For example, if you follow the hashtag “#music,” (or any music-related hashtag, really) your feed will be filled with bots that just post YouTube links. You can go through and block these accounts as you see them, but there’s so few people using the hashtag in a non-spammy way that you might as well just not follow the hashtag in the first place.

If one thing happens, does that automatically mean some other specific thing will happen?

No.

John Smith, 1882?

It said “quiche”; I don’t know why it was blurred out

Because if this place really did have only 5 users, it would be boring and pointless.

If we’re lucky, someone might eventually invent some sort of reflective wall we can look at

You engage with the communities you prefer, just like at the other place. Some will be more active, some will have better posts, some will have better people, some will be more specialized to what you’re interested in, and you engage in those.

Give me a sec, I’ll copy a comment from [REDACTED] to express how I feel about this

Power metal: “I will fight the evil one for the glory of my king!”

Christian power metal: “

How did you handle it on Reddit?

Farts of the Cowdoggoat

You’d be the first immortal computer, that’s for sure

I honestly don’t understand what you mean. Like, copying other people’s opinions from Reddit instead of just posting my own?

Without any actual wrestlers or wrestling journalists on mastodon (which I am neither), there’s not much that could be done to build a community. Plus, I don’t have the time or energy to moderate a community. Plus, posting stuff “from Reddit” kinda violates the whole point of, you know, not using Reddit.

I mean, it’s not.

My issue is there’s just not enough content yet. I mostly only used Twitter to engage with wrestling fans (for better or worse), but on Mastodon there seems to be less than 10 wrestling fans total.

Yeah that’s kinda what I mean. Not quite the level of going to Nintendo forums to talk about how Sega is better, but it’s pointing that direction.
