Is there any one else who feels like their life has been disrupted by this whole debacle with Reddit. (kbin.social)

I really do like KBin and Lemmy and the fediverse on the whole, but development is still young and the userbase still growing. KBin is still basically early access, and Lemmy is buggy. I spent alot of time in reddit and I'm feeling the pain of trying to ween myself from it. Just wanted to here community perspectives and see how other's are taking it.

For me, I feel a bit of a sore hollow spot for what reddit used to be and watching it implode is not fun for me.

arcade sticks

Like, stuff like Happ Electronics stuff for arcade cabinets, or you mean more-broadly non-flightstick joysticks for modern computers? I mean, I've already seen people on here somewhere talking about their arcade cabinet builds, though they may not be so high-traffic yet as to need a dedicated community just for the sticks.

Fightsticks as in custom controllers for modern (or retro) systems that are often associated with the fighting game community but also used for schmups or other arcade associated titles (or even just games that use digital controls only). Its got a modestly active community on reddit for sharing builds and mods and just projects or discussing parts. I do all of this over discord as well so its nbd.

Ah, gotcha, yeah, like the Happ stuff. Yeah, lemme see if I can find what I saw.

I think the first link, from earlier in the week, was what I remember.

So, yeah, a little bit of chatter, but not much, and not specialized to the sticks.
