Lemmy instances seem to have trouble seeing content from kbin instances for some reason.

Lemmy is FOSS so I don’t really think the political views of the developers have much impact.
The political views of the main devs are controversial but it doesn’t really matter since Lemmy is free and open source. No one owns or runs it. Only lemmy.ml specifically is run by the devs.
Is there an alternative here on Lemmy?
Yeah that’s what Lemmy started out as. The thing is with all the Reddit refugees flooding in it is diluting out the tankies. Besides, lemmygrad.ml is blocked by many instances. As for the values of the devs the great thing is that Lemmy is FOSS so if they go rouge someone will just make a fork of Lemmy.
Unfortunately 48 hours probably won’t do anything if they just come back like nothing happened. If the AMA with spez has shown anything it’s that Reddit is not going to back down even with the large protest from the community.
He just publicly admitted Reddit is not profitable and he’s mad that third party apps are. That IPO is not going to go well lol.
I was referring to the community browser which lets you see all available communities. But yeah you won’t see them in your home instance until they are specifically searched.
There are apparently some like !nsfw@reddthat.com, but they are hard to find since they probably aren’t visible in your home instance, and they don’t show up in the lemmy community browser. You also can’t find them on the instance they are hosted on since you need to be logged in to see nsfw communities.

I run my own instance, the benefit is privacy and reliability. Everything is controlled on your own server. You also aren’t reliant on someone else running an instance that could go down at any time, either permanently or an outage. Been a problem with Lemmy.ml recently.
