Since Kbin is new basically anyone here now would be considered veterans in a few years.

Just something a recently thought of.

And, next year, the first day of the Reddit blackout will be a massive cake day here in Kbin!
- That whole week really.
  I know people who made accounts one or two days beforehand because they correctly predicted that the wave of signups would cause issues. And I know people who waited till after Reddit made it clear that they weren't going to be changing their plan.

Anyone anywhere now if they were still there in a few years would be considered a veteran..

I'm used to that. Been a veteran of Livejournal, Tumblr, Twitter, LibraryThing... I'm just sad I didn't get my Mastodon veteran badge.
- 1 on the mastodon point. i remember hearing about it all those years ago and being a little skeptical, but then when i finally checked it out last year it was SO good. love that place.
  i saw a brilliant toot that perfectly captures how i feel about the fediverse: "I like a small indie coffee shop where the coffee is better and you can always find a seat, and it's not full of crying babies."

Congrats with the veteran status 😆
- Congrats to you as well.
  
  kbin is so new that we managed to snatch the domain kbin.dk and create Denmark's first kbin instance 😁

What about us wandering Lemmings?
- Today when I was browsing with my lemmy account I saw a commenter that had a cake icon, they had joined two years ago.
- Lemmings are round and cute!
- Lemmy is way older. The true veterans are hiding somewhere

You know how you sometimes stumble acros comments on reddit with insiders or short hype from 10 years ago?
I came to peace with the fact that this will be the poop situation right now. The first kbin/lemmy insider...
- the poop situation
  I remember that poop post on asklemmy, it's already achieved legendary status I think lol

If it survives,
I can't even post on my own magazine without errors popping up, my thread not showing until 4 to 8 hours later, and now that there's duplicates of the thread, I try to delete them, and it just gives errors...
Haven't been able to post or delete anything in days.
- you could make an issue if you'd like, although i get that that is inconvenient
  kbin has been working alright for me

Important part is to get as many bug fixes and improvements done for the next wave, the API outage on the 1st of July.
I'm keen to get through as many PRs as possible and get new tweaks and features out to improve the experience for all the new mates that are going to migrate over

Hopefully the comment box will be towards the top by the time new users become veterans! Loving the site though wasn't expecting this much activity on the threadiverse, especially on academic subs. Feels exciting to be a part of all this. Shame didn't join during the blackouts. Oh well better late than never!
