Meant to comment on this when I first saw it.
It sucks, but after my Kbin instance was swapping over to Mbin (quick shoutout to tuckerm at supermeter.social, dude’s fucking awesome), I decided to give Lotide a shot, and unfortunately, the instance I signed up for didn’t seem to federate at all for the communities I subscribed to.
If people want a federated Reddit alternative that isn’t Lemmy or Mbin, I’m on PieFed rn and it’s honestly been great so far. I like that the source code is on Codeberg, which is what made me swap to Kbin from Lemmy to begin with.
There’s also Brutalinks, which has their source code on SourceHut like Lotide does, but I’ve yet to find a live instance of it: https://git.sr.ht/mariusor/brutalinks
That’s honestly so adorable.
I know how dangerous bears can be but it’s hard not to look at that photo and not be in awe at how cute they look all hanging out on the tree together. Just hope their presence in the area didn’t cause any major safety issues for too long.
