At the moment lemmy and kbin are both pretty early in their develoment cycles - kbin had so many issues that we couldn't get it to run at all, lemmy runs, but it's far from being smooth.
We'll keep an eye on both and see how the development goes, and we might consider a kbin instance once it's reached a certain maturity. But, and that's a big but, we've got a community that's attracted over 200 people in a matter of days, and unless there's a process to migrate all those users smoothly from one instance to another, it's pretty unlikely that we're gonna replace this lemmy instance with a kbin based platform entirely.
In protest against reddits API changes the "interestingasfuck" subreddit plans to reopen after a week long blackout with just one rule: posters have to consider their content "interesting as fuck" for it to be allowed in the sub. That's it. In addition, reddits site-wide rules are still in place, and any content breaking *those* rules will be handed over to Reddits "Anti-Evil Operations", their site-wide moderation team. They're also *much better* equipped to figure out which users are bots, so when in doubt bots are to be reported to them, they'll *surely* do a good job enforcing reddits Rules. (Google them, they have a *stellar* track record!) Reporting rulebreaks to AEO is encouraged, and the subreddits been marked as NSFW as a precaution. Gone are the days where you'd need to have a minimum amount of karma, or mods would check if they deemed your post actually interesting. I'm personally hoping for lots of pictures of interesting sticks, John Oliver and a hint of frogs! 🐸
I wanna see how moderation actions are federated through the *verse This is a test post c:

What are your favorite automations?

I have a couple of automations running, but my favourite is one of the simpler ones:
When I set an alarm on my phone all lights turn off except for a single night light (LEDs under my bed), and when I then put my phone down on the wireless charger near my bed (I only use that one wireless charger, so the automation just checks for any wireless charger), the light turns off completely and my phone screen turns off.
If I remove the phone from the charger before my alarm's gone off, the night light turns back on, putting it back on the charger turns the night light back off, etc.
The automation does multiple useful things at once:
- I haven't used a light switch at home in forever
- I haven't forgotten to set an alarm in forever
- I get very obvious feedback that my phone starts charging
- I have a night light that's easily turned on/off, without the need for motion sensors in the bedroom that could have false positives
- I have a clear trigger for when I'm in bed, that I'm using for example for my white noise machine that turns on for 45 minutes when I go to bed
