    It worries me that all those communities moving to Discord will one day suffer though all this all over again, once Discord enshittifies and drives them out. Relying on a closed, proprietary and centralized service for user-generated content is a bad idea, as we all learned already.

      Of all places to host your community in, why Discord? Discord is not indexed by search engines. If you wrote a long, thought-provoking piece there (I’ve seen many people do it), it’s practically lost forever after the discussion move a few screens forward in a few hours. People from the future can’t benefit from what you wrote when they’re searching for similar topic in a search engine. The same can be said with Telegram and WhatsApp groups which are popular in certain communities.

        I agree; Discord is great for voice chatting, but I can’t follow conversations in there. Maybe I’m getting too old but it’s not a style that I think is a natural evolution from Reddit.

        Some might consider that to be a plus. For certain types of communication, that ephemeral nature is preferred.

          For some kinds of communication that ephemeral nature is desirable.

          But reddit is the archive for so much information; just prior to the blackouts I discovered that just adding site:reddit.com to the end of Google searches gave vastly better results than searching the entire web.

          Me. I just like to troll without having my trolling sounds indexed by every search engine to ever exist. Why does google have to know the content of all my shitty jokes?

      Also – unless I am missing something here, with Discord you are seeing posts in a strictly chronological order. Yes, you can like and react to posts, but that won’t bubble and auto-curate great content to the top. I was once in a very popular Discord and the amount of random posts filling up the feed made me leave it after some time.

        Discord has a built in forum like interface, it’s quite decent - but as others have said, it’s not indexed by google and thus pretty useless for newcomers.

          Oh it does? And with those forums you can vote content up to make them more visible? I thought it was just an endless stream in various channels.

      It will probably happen soon also. :/ The global economic situation that drove Reddit and Twitter to desperation applies to everyone else also.

    The title feels a bit off. I doubt very many of the subreddits have actually “relocated”. As the site itself states, these are just lists of alternatives that provide topics that match existing subreddits.

    Most of the subreddits mentioned are still going to be active (especially in comparison to their alternatives) for the foreseeable future.

        I think the rule is more like “post anything, as long as you post something”. It doesn’t have to be shit, but it usually is.

    LOL… the link they have for the 3D Printing community is just some guy posting “Balls” over and over again… Not so sure they got that one right.

    Edit: Also… the expanse sub moving to discord is big sad… Wish they’d recreate that sub somewhere on the fediverse instead…

      Creating an instance is not free and requires some effort (including a little research). Discord is free and creating a server is as easy as falling off a log. I don’t like Discord, but let’s be objective about why this happens.

    Thanks for posting this. It will help me replace a few more of the subreddits I loved going to with Lemmy alternatives. I might still need to go to Reddit for a couple of subreddits (one local one and one hobby one), but my goal is to reduce my Reddit usage as much as possible.

      Same here. Dumb question but are you using Lemmy to organize kbin? What’s the difference?

        It’s roughly equivalent to using Outlook versus Thunderbird for your email. Same protocol, same ability to interact, but different codebase, slightly different interface, and possibly a few tweaks around the edges where the protocol itself doesn’t demand a certain way of doing things.

        So, for instance, a “!” link in Lemmy doesn’t work in kbin, but remove the exclamation point and it will be fine. A Lemmy community is identical to a Kbin magazine. Properly configured and federated, a Lemmy and a Kbin instance are completely interoperable with each other. Kbin has the “microblog” tab that integrates it better with Mastodon, but I haven’t seen a lot of discussion around that part of things, since link aggregation is driving the current increase in users.

    Thank you for posting!

    To anyone else: Any thoughts on when/if we’ll be able to subscribe to communities on kbin from lemmy?

    Great idea, but there’s too many empty and unused communities cluttering the front page.

      There’s one on sh.itjust.works (with around 1,000 subscribers,) but they aren’t currently federated with Beehaw, so if your account is a Beehaw account, you’ll have to make an account on sh.itjust.works or another instance that feterates with them if you’d like to post, comment, or vote. I don’t know if it’s the same mods as the original, though.

      Here’s the link: https://sh.itjust.works/c/noncredibledefense

      I saw one on a Lemmy Instance, but it may not be federated with Beehaw. Let me check my accounts on other instances and see if I can find it and I’ll link it to you if I can.

      *Edit: Welp! I thought this comment hadn’t gone through since it wasn’t showing up here or on my account page even after refreshing, so I just made a fresh comment once I found the link. Whoops! See my other reply for the info and link.

    For some reason, this site is basically unusable in Firefox Android for me, as I can only scroll at dreadfully slow speed and what feels like 1 fps. Everything is fine on desktop though.
