Ah ha, I was trying to do the short url (!utah@kbin.social), and that wasn’t working. Thanks!
So I’m looking for a magazine that I know is on kbin, that I want to subscribe from here. I’ve tried typing in the magazine name in the address bar (lemmy.world/c/Utah@kbin.social), I’ve tried searching in the “communities” search, and I’m just not finding it and getting errors. Direct linking works, but I then I can only subscribe if I have an account on kbin. Help?
However for them, it’s not a big deal as the get the following benefits
All
undesirablesane and productive users leave for fidiverse or other reddit alternatives. The remaining users will betamebatshit crazy like the users of FB, Instagram, posting conspiracy theories, lies, flames and other content that gets people riled up, but results in more eyes and more clicks. Which destroys Reddit as we know it, but still generates the income that will appeal to investors in an IPO
FTFY.
I’m glad you’re coming clean. I kinda hope that you go back and delete the fake stories, or at least make clear they’re works of fiction.
Why?
Because people are stupid. They hear an urban legend about a psycopath putting razor blades in apples and all of a sudden no one can have anything but individually wrapped candy during halloween. People overemphasize anectodes to establish political views or actually make policy changes. Academics troll reddit for evidence to support theories. And “news” “reporters” pull stuff from Reddit and report it, often as fact. If it implicates criminal activity or child abuse, that might cause authorities to get involved needlessly.
Maybe your stories aren’t such that they would impact policies, or change political views, or impact lives. I’m sure some of it is just harmless fun (though, when I’d participate in forums like AITA with fake posts, it sure did annoyme), and to some extent, people should be smarter about responding to shitposts. “Throwaway because my friends know my main account” should be a big, red flag. And I’m glad you got to work on your writing skill and voice. I hope you can use it productively in the future, and I wish you the best of luck. (But think about deleting or editing your posts!)
This would sure be nice–three checkboxes in preferenes 1) Block NSFW Insances 2) Block NSFW Communities 3) Block NSFW Content
Thanks! I subscribed! I’ll have to add some content soon.
R/fountainpens. Other forums exist, but they aren’t (a) as easy to use (b) as welcoming to newbies, yet © still full of experts.
I’m guessing lots of hobby subs are like that.
Same happened to me. Then when posting I chose “unknown” or whatever language (not English) and it worked.
