I understand what you mean as for privacy, but at the same time, I do think at some point to reach the average user, it will be a must to be on Play store and Apple store. That being said, in early phase APKs are perfectly fine for tech-savvy users.

That is good indeed, artemis wasn’t open source and the whole project’s progress and work as a result was lost, glad to know a more open approach is being taken here!

True, but I was still curious about what communities get mentioned here. And also, without communities catering to different users’ interests, there will be no engagement.

I typically don’t encounter any communities from instances like lemmygrad here, maybe I will if I actually search for them but as it is on Kbin it’s been pretty nice here.

Oh you mean’t outside Kbin, makes more sense.

Certainly nowhere near the scale of/from reddit.

BTW I highly suggest you make a launch announcement on places like m/KbinMeta here with github downloads linked to get more users’ attention

EDIT: I think you made a concept post here a while ago?

This is awesome! Keep up the great work and I hope the project doesn’t get abandoned like Artemis, seems great so far, maybe you should look into creating a discord too for short-form discussions revolving around the project :)

No worries! It was a misunderstanding and that happens :)

And I agree with you as for the empty feeling, but with organic growth and encourging more people to contribute, hopefully content increases in kbin.

Well I really didn’t look at your profile much so I am sorry if you feel personally attacked, that was not my intention.

My point is, if we all posted rather than saying “it feels empty” (not saying it just for you, saying for everyone in general here), then it would not feel so empty, as I mod some big communities here and I know for the fact that there are MANY lurkers who barely contribute, which is why it feels empty, but it’s good to see you being active.

If it feels empty, then we need to take action and be the change we want to see. That is what I mean’t and not targeting any individuals here, just saying in general.

No need to involve jesus christ, chill out :)
