Discord servers do not fill the void of a subreddit. I hate that some communities have exclusively moved there. It's nearly impossible to have a real discussion on an active server

1000% Even for a sub dedicated exclusively to memes itβs bad. The whole point of reddit was that there was a culture of content, on discord the content is far too short-lived
Just join the largest non-beehaw alternative on lemmy/kbin; a new era is upon us.
Discord can be set up to have forum-like threads. I think it's a relatively new feature. It still suffers from corporate control tho.
Hey all! Creator of sub.rehab here π
Thanks to everyone for the feedback and suggestions!
I understand how Discord is not the same as the fediverse and that the interactions there are different. But my goal is to show where subreddits migrated to and what are viable alternatives. It's a fact that a lot of subreddits choose to list Discord servers as official alternatives and I think I'd be misrepresenting what's happening if I don't include them.
I plan some improvements on the filtering controls so hopefully that will help :)
I will also think about introducing a NSFW section, but I don't want to rush that.
If you have any feature requests or experience bugs, feel free to open an issue on Github or ping me on mastodon @subrehab@mastodon.social!
The growth and traffic the past two days have been surprising and unexpected. I'm having a hard time keeping up with things (I also have a day job π). I can't promise I'll do everything, but I'll do my best.
I'm also thinking about creating a Lemmy community or some other way where we can interact. If you are interested, follow on mastodon for updates.
P.S. And a special thank you to everyone who's been complimenting the UI! I put this together in a rush (because I thought it was a cool idea) and I'm no designer, so it feels great to see people appreciating it <3
We really need to figure out this linking issue with the fediverse. I don't know who is managing the site but it would be nice to be able to produce relative links. For example if OP linked to https://sub.rehab/?follow=kbin.social&separator=m it should be enough to make the links relative to kbin on the page
Related to this, Lemmy and kbin need to add a way to easily open posts in a different instance.
Far too many times I click on link only to find it's a post on a separate instance, and have to manually search for it on mine.
They need to both start adding referrer parameters to their share links. If hitting share appends /fedirate?follow=kbin.social&separator=m to the link, both lemmy and kbin should be smart enough to replace those values when you view a comment or a post so that it stays on your instance. In the worst case the link still works and the values are just ignored.
I like that idea. Adding to the to do list :)
This is great!
Would be cool if they included nsfw subs too though
Also, putting discord there is weird af
yeah discord should be ignored
Hope this helps someone
If you find a community you like, in my example, AITA, and want to subscribe from Lemmy.World, I think you can just use the search bar, but you can also do this:
I clicked the link to the AITA community, hosted on KBIN
On the right sidebar, I see this: @amitheasshole@kbin.social
But I am on KBIN not Lemmy.world so I cannot login and subscribe from there directly only browse
To get to it from lemmy.world or if you can't find it easily in the search bar within Lemmy,
Edit the URL to look like this: https://lemmy.world/c/amitheasshole@kbin.social
So the format is: https://lemmy.world/c/ And then after the /c/, you put in amitheasshole@kbin.social, or whatever CommunityName@Server
Now you are logged into Lemmy, looking at the community, and can subscribe.
Still can't figure out how to subscribe to anything on this list from within jerboa.
Yeahh, I also find it hard to sub to communities outside of my instance on jeroba, I hope that will become easier in the future, if not, I will be forced to create my own app lol
For anyone struggling to figure out how to subscribe to kbin communities from a lemmy instance, this comment string helped me out. The Lemmy instance you are registered with will be the first part of the URL and the kbin community will be the second part. For example, I'm registered with Lemmy.world so to register with the kbin Books community I typed into my browser https://Lemmy.world/c/books@kbin.social
From there, just hit subscribe and it will start showing up anywhere you're logged into your Lemmy instance (I use Jerboa).
Alright so I hate to ask but how to do I subscribe to a community in another instance from within kbin? For example if I wanted posts from https://lemmy.world/c/maliciouscompliance to show up in kbin.social, how do I do it? If I paste https://lemmy.world/c/maliciouscompliance into the search bar all I see is a list of posts and comments relating to that. Same if I search for !maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world.
What I expect to happen (which is what happens in lemmy instances) is that I am shown a top level link to the community/magazine/whatever and I can click into it and then click "subscribe" but that doesn't seem to be working for me in kbin.
Edit: alright never mind the searching does work. It doesn't show the community as obviously as I'd like it to but it is working now. Wasn't working before for some reason though.
@mmmbacon Try as [@maliciouscompliance](https://lemmy.world/c/maliciouscompliance) (leading @ instead of !) The ! seems to be Lemmy-specific; @ is traditional elsewhere.
Also I'm elsewhere (mastodon) so this is a test too.
Edit because there is no preview and it autolinked :( The name should be @ user @ location (@ dis @ facebook29.com no spaces)

Thank you for your relentless fight against spam. Your efforts are greatly appreciated in keeping our community safe and enjoyable for all. Keep up the good work!
Okay so, i'm viewing this from a kbin instance. I clicked through to the link, found a community i'd like to join, but can't figure out how.
It's (i think) a Lemmy instance. I can't figure out where to paste the above in order to follow it. I tried the search in my instance here and it came back "empty", which I don't know if that means that they're not federated together, if this is a temporary "the servers are getting hammered" situation, or if i'm doing something wrong. Can anyone help?
Did you figure this out? Itβs pretty unintuitive
