There are a ton of comments there, but I guess it depends where you’re looking. To me, it seems like it’s defaulting to “threads” - which are roughly equivalent to posts, as near as I can tell (they have subjects and a body). Whereas Microblog seems to be like posting to Facebook/Twitter/Mastodon. Where I see little activity are on Magazines (their version of communities or subreddits). E.g. kbin.social/m/ELI5 has 4 threads. The default home page shows many, many threads, and some have comparable comment replies to lemmy here.

off-topic but since you mentioned kbin: I’m using both platforms right now (beehive/lemmy and kbin)…from what I’m seeing so far I really prefer lemmy’s implementation of pretty much everything. Kbin itself is not any more or less complicated to sign up and start posting, but its organization is definitely more convoluted. Speaking of threads vs. microblogs etc. I read a FAQ posted there and it barely cleared things up for me.

I will have no disparaging of frames, thank you very much.

An Internet … problem

Yeah, that’s 100% it. On the Internet in 2023, everyone needs to be right or win with their comment. It’s off-putting when you’ve been on the Internet longer than Gen Z has been alive.

Well, I tried introducing myself via kbin and I was going to reply to that introduction since I have now been accepted to beehaw…but I can’t find that reply in this thread. So I’ll write again!

I work in media (behind the scenes…but I also have a few podcasts on the go and I blog), I have epilepsy, and I like to talk about all sorts of subjects. I’m doing a poor job summarizing myself so I’ll just copy/paste from my Mastodon page (with some redactions):

Writer/podcaster; fan of books, podcasts, hockey, baseball, curling & movies. Regional Traffic Manager for [REDACTED]. Views & opinions are my own.

I was also diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of 35 (4 years ago, now). Sometimes I talk about that.
