I just finished setting it up on the Kyodo app. It's a work in progress and will need some admins/mods volunteers on there eventually.

Check it out:

The Main Chat Group in there is levels above Altscene's outdated site one πŸ˜„

Needs 9 more members for a total of 10 to qualify and become publicly available/discoverable within the Kyodo App Circle/Community Search engine

The chat group on there is far superior than the archaic comments section chat

MetalGuitaristTim

Dec 21, 2025 21:52

You can have a much more better experience on there

MetalGuitaristTim

Dec 21, 2025 21:52

You can see who's online, group chat thread, share photos, YouTube links etc...

I understand you guys don't want other apps, I can see that but I personally never ever put all my eggs in one basket my entire life. I always had back ups and options πŸ˜‰

Haven't you also used this site for years though?
It is what it is, a run down old bar on the quiet side of town, it's not for everyone, but the locals like it.

No one has anything to talk about anyway, that's why the forum is so stagnant.

Yeah true but I spend more time elsewhere and about 2% on this site

What's the difference between your kyodo app and making a discord group?

Makes no sense to me

@DSBM kyodo App, you make an entire community, like a website, you have the chat groups, within the main page where you can access, the main page is like your main website page where you see the name, brand etc...you see the main feed of blogs, posts from members, online members, activity status etc..etc...just like here now, you are located inside the "forums" inside a "post" particularly this one I posted obviously. The difference is it's new, new site, new code/software application, more options, customization, freedom to create and so on. Discord is well Discord, just that, you create a group chat and that's just it and people just join the "group chat".

Anyways...if you can't figure the difference out then πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

No one is forcing you to join.

I created it. If you wanna download the app, make an account, a profile and join the community or many other communities within the app : Amime, Goths, Movies, Knitting, Photography, Sports, Cooking and whatever else floats your boat, you can πŸ‘

No one is putting a gun to anyone's head on here.

This is not directed towards you in any hostile or passive aggressive way or form or meant to insult, piss you off etc...

Anyone commenting, if you don't like or want, just move on and stick to just 1 website and maybe 1 app (Discord?), while I utilize Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Telegram, Kyodo (new), and other apps & sites.

I don't & never invest everything I have into just 1 or 2 places just like I never put all my eggs in 1 basket πŸ˜‰

Y'all have a good day/night πŸ‘

@Mercurius Mesmerize I totally get it! I’ve been here for years, but Altscene feels a bit like a 'stagnant forum. I’m not deleting my account here, but Kyodo lets us do so much more with blogs and art that this site just doesn't support.

MetalGuitaristTim

Dec 22, 2025 11:56

@Dr. Sus Fair point! But it’s less about 'fixing' and more about 'growing. Kyodo has a built-in search engine to bring in new members, something we really need if we want the community to stay alive & active πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

MetalGuitaristTim

@DSBM99 Discord is strictly for 'group chats', everything moves too fast and gets lost. Kyodo acts like a full website for us. We can have permanent blogs, better photo sharing, and a main 'landing page' that makes us look like a real community rather than just a chat room. Just saying πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

dicord is more then just group chat is other stuff that creators have there can post what you just said about youre app . discord ev9olved since then when it first started

Dr. Sus

Dec 23, 2025 04:12

Anyone else have a problem with discord not giving people msg notifications when they do in fact have messages, or is that just my janky phone?

MetalGuitaristTim

Dec 23, 2025 05:59

Dr.Sus , same issue here but just deleted mine. Kinda done with Discord on my end

MetalGuitaristTim

Dec 23, 2025 06:02

ctsvbullet, yeah I know but stuff got added in latter days but it's still mostly caterered towards gamers and in some cases some podcasts (YouTube is go to for that) my experience with Discord for years now was the same experience with Twitch. Wasn't for me. Also had tons of pervert pedophiles hitting me up on there too, not surprised being Discord and Roblox are under investigation currently

Dr. Sus

Dec 23, 2025 15:37

I don't really use mine, every so often someone from here will wanna use discord, but there's some things thay seem shady about that, like they don't want me to see their socials for some reason, so if someone does from now on, I'm gonna pass.
