Do you have to do something special to truly make your account a bot? Like give it a function it can do as a bot? (I’m not trying to make this account a bot though)
What does it mean to be a bot account? I saw the setting, but I didn’t know what it meant

The defaults are set to be very minimal, so I was wondering why I never knew if anyone had replied to me.
Almost none if these were set by default
Mintyytea@kbin.socialto World News@beehaw.org•Amazon Delivery Drivers Walk Out in First-Ever Driver Strike | Vice17·2 years agoI’m glad. Amazon doesn’t let workers unionize even though their work conditions are bad. I always see these truck/van drivers running to their next stop
Mintyytea@kbin.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is a childish thing you still fully enjoy as an adult?2·2 years agoI love avatar the last airbender too. I haven’t found a show like it since. Besides that, I still like anime (though less nowadays because of some sexist parts)
I think that is true that most people will not leave reddit. I’m in a subreddit called redditalternatives, and lately not many people are posting in it anymore. It definitely feels like a niche thing, but I think it’s okay. Reddit won’t last forever, and in the meantime, we can be seeing if fediverse is the way forward. This isn’t the first time reddit screwed up and it won’t be the last.
They’re also I think trying to become like tiktok and give lots of forever scrollable content, but I think tiktok/youtube shorts already fill that niche
I think number 1 is important so it’s easier to move. Otherwise we could feel centralized to one instance rather than feeling free to federate
It could help too if maybe on the sign up page, if an instance is getting full, they suggest some instances that are less full to join. That way people can be guided without having to do research on their own (before they’ve even decided to commit to the fediverse)
Omggg hahah, I sometimes think my dog kind of looks like jolteon
Mintyytea@kbin.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is a useful tip a new lemmy/kbin users should know?2·2 years agoThe downtime is getting better though. I made this kbin account like 2 days ago and logged off right away cuz I was trying to figure out magazines and each time I clicked something, it said I was not logged in and I had to relog.
Today I’m trying it out again and everything is working, though sometimes I get a 503 error if I try to open a page or post something
Mintyytea@kbin.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is a useful tip a new lemmy/kbin users should know?1·2 years agoAre you talking about subscribing to a magazine? I do it on mobile by clicking the magazine I want, clicking the top left square button modal with the 3 lines, then scroll down until you see the magazine name to click Subscribe
yeah that’s what I’m struggling with too, like it’d be great if we could encourage people to try these, but at the same time I don’t want to give them a bad first impression to turn them off forever if they can not stand it’s still a baby project (understandable). I honestly don’t think it’s that hard to start using these fediverse products though, and I feel like the posts saying “lemmy will never take off”, “kbin is too hard to use” only gave me barriers to start using it. And then when I did start, I was like oh this is great, everyone’s talking, it’s a close community
