I know they roughly explained why, but it seems pretty insane they jumped the gun without having any of the users input and want people to go to another instance just for that community

    I get the feeling that you don’t understand that you don’t need to sign up at the other instance to subscribe to the community. You can just click the link and subscribe from your current account, and everything will be as it was.

      Not if you’re on kbin. The new server isn’t federated with kbin.social for some reason.

        There’s a reason why I don’t use kbin. Well, two. 1. Kbin federation sucks and is weird as fuck and keeps turning off and on, and 2. Where API, I script the shit out of everything, API pls. Apiiiiiii

          They’re working on the API right now. Kbin is much newer than Lemmy. Lemmy’s been around for like 3 years while Kbin is a few months old.

            I know :) I’m partially kidding. I tried kbin. The UI was too weird for me. That’s actually the main reason I didn’t use it. It felt less customizable. I had a hard time not seeing just the defaults. In fact I’m not sure in all this time I’ve subbed to anything from my kbin acc.

        Is it defederated? If not, afaik, someone will have to search for it first (and then post/comment? I forget. Lol). It doesn’t federate automatically.
