A "paradoxymoron" if you will, emphasis on the moron.
I've been reading way too many historical novels, because I read "called on" and thought, oh that's nice of them to visit them after what they went through. 🤦
They aren't connected except that the same mods run them. We don't, or haven't so far, posted duplicate posts. So that shouldn't be an issue.
And then we're also paying attention and when it seems appropriate, we will likely close down one and redirect traffic to the one we keep up.
Well I'm an idiot lol!
Anyhow, thx for passing my question on haha!
To add to that, there was a bit of a time limit in which we had reason to believe we needed to secure the name so that it wouldn't be taken by certain persons and then just sat upon with no activity.
Yeah that's a good option that I WISH Reddit had... had. But only for the creator maybe?
By the way I'm commenting this on the mlmym thing you made!
It's still lacking the collapse a comment ability! I am like when are they going to fix that?
But it's a much much newer instance. We'll see, but I think it has potential.
Yeah I think people are trying to force/recreate Reddit in its entirety on a single platform, and that's not going to happen.
And I didn't think of it, but yeah having one to check out when the other one's down is good.
We weren't sure which to go with; also... there was a whole thing with the creator of the OG sub; we were a bit concerned that they would create those and just sit on them, so we wanted to go ahead and have at least one or two places for AR.
So we did one on lemmy and one on kbin (I think I put one on like... squabbles too?) (I should check that...) and will kinda go with whichever takes off.
I actually thought of you when I posted it bc I remember when you (or your spouse?) posted it to the OG sub and whatnot! I was like... should I try to get in touch first to see if it's ok to post it, and then I forgot to do that and posted it anyway lol.
I actually prefer kbin.(social). It hasn't had nearly as much downtime and errors and whatnot as I've experienced on lemmy. Which is remarkable since Lemmy has been around for a few years whereas kbin is fairly recent.
Like, there are always growing pains, so I get it, and with all the influx of new users there can be issues, so not a big deal.
I think Lemmy's more popular mostly because for whatever reason it's the catchall name for the fediverse right now. IDK if there's any like (very mild) astroturfing going on, or the name is just catchy, or what.
