Is raddle federated with lemmy and kbin? Haven’t seen any of those posts show up here - just now learning about it
I’ve read elsewhere that raddle is pretty anti-federation which is really stupid
It is not, it doesn’t use the ActivityPub protocol.
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.
It will probably happen soon also. :/ The global economic situation that drove Reddit and Twitter to desperation applies to everyone else also.
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.
Naw it doesn’t have upvote and downvote options, it works more like a traditional forum.
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 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.

Some might consider that to be a plus. For certain types of communication, that ephemeral nature is preferred.
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?
I don’t know what 196 is and at this point I’m too afraid to ask.
Literally just ppl post whatever tf they want there lmao. The only rule is “post shit”. I always thought it was weird
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…
@TooL
In case you haven’t heard: The Expanse sub mods are testing a kbin instance. It is expected to become available soon.Thanks for the heads up, that’s awesome news.
