Oh, I've been a uBlock Origin user for years. On the desktop, at least, it's just neat to see the adblocker sitting idle for once.
Kbin reminds me so much of what I loved about Reddit when I first joined 14 years ago. Is anyone else struck by the complete lack of ads on any of these instances? It’s crazy how quickly almost everything loads.
There’s probably a large percentage of Reddit users that are still getting everything they’re looking for with the official app and what’s left of the site. Quick hits of memes are fun, and I do take some pleasure in correctly guessing the top comments in a thread.
The level of conversation on Kbin/Lemmy reminds me more of what old Reddit used to be like back in the day, and I think I’m okay with that being a smaller community than Reddit at large. I keep reminding myself and others that these communities don’t ever need to be as big as Reddit, they just need to be big enough.
I've been trying Kbin more the past couple days, and I'm really liking it a lot more now that I understand what's going on. Seems like it might be helpful if there was a quick (optional) onboarding process for new users to point out the basics of the interface and how to find content.
