I hate that posting into the void feeling. I blame that more on the microblog format more than any particular platform.

Networked, autonomous local communities.

I noticed posting from lemmy.world is really buggy. I started composing in another app as a failsafe. Kbin doesn’t seem to have this issue, and maybe other Lemmy instances don’t either.

Someone made a post that said, “I heard people on Lemmy will upvote anything, let’s see if that’s true.” It was a can of beans and did indeed get upvoted. Then everyone just ran with it and made memes.

I haven’t checked, but I assume a lot of these communities would have already been manually added to Kbin.social due to popularity (youshouldknow, ask, memes, tech, etc.)
