We need discourse. News sites are largely owned by rich men and corporations.
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.
Holy Toledo! That's a metric shit ton of instances! I was scrolling for days. Go Lemmy!
Well, I hope the Fediverse works out. Otherwise I think were gonna have to go back to hand printing zines.
Oh right, that...
How's the no poop challenge community in the Fediverse? I find that mildly amusing.
Still learning reddit hacks after all these years.
Even though email is supposedly "open", and federated, is no longer is really the case. Big services like Gmail are suspicious of non-big-name servers, and often flag email coming from them as spam.
About a year ago I came across an article from a guy who'd been running his own email server since the 90s, and finally gave up. I couldn't find that article in my quick search, but I did find this:

"I run my own email server. It's no longer a good idea, because the anti-spam arms race makes delivery from small independent servers very difficult, even when you keep yourself off the block lists, so it's a continuous struggle. Would switch, but I have too many domains/addresses"
Well, my understanding is that email is federated, and SMS text messages are federated, but it isn't easy to email a phone number, or send a text to someone's email. So I'm surprised that Kbin and Lemmy can talk to each other.
But I see someone else answered that Lemmy, Kbin, and Mastodon all speak the same underlying protocol, ActivityPub. Now it's starting to make sense.
Thanks for posting the link!
