Serious question, as I‘ve barely seen any mention of Lemmy on Reddit. None of the Mod posts regarding the Blackout mentioned Lemmy as far as I‘m aware. Would it be against the TOS to start a coordinated promotion?

    I’d never heard of kbin at all until I actually signed up to a Lemmy instance.

    I’d heard Lemmy mentioned somewhere before (I’ve searched for reddit alternatives a few times in the past as I got increasingly annoyed by their pushiness towards the app), but only really took notice of it a few days before the blackout when I saw it mentioned many times on reddit.

      Kbin I think is really new, I’ve only heard it mentioned fairly recently, and I been exclusively using the fediverse for about a year now

      Yeah, I only got an actual link to kbin during the blackout here on lemmy, it was surprising to hear they got so many people so fast. It’s nice they did, i just don’t remember seeing anything about them on the alternatives subreddit or anywhere else.

        Kbin seemed to be pushed more on Mastodon than Lemmy was, during and in the run up to the blackout. Lots of people giving new things a go this week, even from places other than Reddit!

          That makes sense, from what I’ve seen kbin integrates with mastodon as well (I think you can even set it up so some mastodon hashtags get included in their versions of communities)

            Yeah I think you’re right. And they’ll hopefully fix their tech issues soon so we can all be one big happy family again haha
