Totally understand the reasoning and honestly I wouldn’t be shocked if most if not all that content still exists somewhere. I would be shocked if some fan somewhere hadn’t backed it up at some point like with the Wendy’s one shot

I loved subredditsimulator, I always forgot I was subscribed to it until a bizzare unhinged post popped up on my feed though that would also sometimes happen on non AI generated subs lol

Try this link: https://lemmy.world/c/catsubs@kbin.social
Someone else got it to start federating in lemmy.world

It needs to be manually searched first, if you search !catsubs@kbin.social it should come up, though another commenter said that lemmy.world is having some issues searching right now so that could be the reason

Ah just saw your edit

Hmm strange, from what I understand that should work. I haven’t used Lemmy so I’m not sure on the exact details but from what I understand that should work. If I hear anything different for what to do I’ll let you know

If you search: !catsubs@kbin.social on Lemmy it should show up as a community you can subscribe to in Lemmy. Someone on your instance needs to manually search it for it to start federating, not sure how it works with pinned comments though. Hopefully those will eventually show up even though they were posted before federation started. If not bringing it up on Kbin and copying the link works too.

I might need to create a Lemmy account just so I can learn more about how to use it, I’ve been using Kbin since last week and am really liking it so far

Nope, the wells been poisoned. Even if they did a full 180 and Fired Spez for good measure, they’ve shown their hand. How long before they do it again? Even if all of this was %100 Spezs idea and everyone else in the company opposed it, could we really trust the replacement to never try this or anything similar again? How long before the next CEO decides to try again? What Reddit as a company has proven is that they can’t be trusted, and what we as a community have proved with switching over to Kbin and Lemmy is that we don’t need Reddit. We can make the same content and have the same or in some cases better communities and the beauty of doing it on a platform like this? A greedy corporation can’t destroy it again. Even if a major instance owner goes rogue, we pick up move to another instance and keep going no need to learn a new site no need to rebuild communities. A simple “I’m moving over to this instance!” And that’s it

Oh gosh right wing TikTok sounds like a nightmare.

Ugh, that’s so annoying. What’s the point of making great products if you’re eventually just going to shut them down?

I’ve heard other similar tools only grab the first 1000 comments/posts does this grab everything? Or does it have a similar limitation?

On Kbin if the community you want isn’t showing in the magazine list, what you need to do is go to the search bar that searches the whole site and type in the Lemmy community name followed by an @ followed by the instance name. For example: firefox@lemmy.ml

After searching it should come up and you can subscribe to it. It only shows up in the magazines list once someone on the instance subscribes to it, so if you are the first to subscribe to it you have to do a manual search first
