Reddit was awesome. It’s sad what became of it.
Started in Lemmy but kbin's reputation system woo'd me over!

Care to paste a link in here that takes us to this FAQ page??

Damaskox,
@Damaskox@kbin.social avatar

Hmm. And where is this help column?

EDIT: Ah, at the bottom of the page.
Needed to search for text in the page to find it xD

I receive an error when I'm trying to delete a comment.

EDIT: I tried deleting again later and I think the duplicated comment was gone.

    @SLaSZT Care to share more information about privacy issues?

    @Damaskox@kbin.social avatar

    @SLaSZT Hmm. Peculiar!

    I should be able to delete an online account easily and promptly if that's what I choose to do

    I quite agree on that!
    There was one service I couldn't get rid of my info cos they required ridiculous amounts of work to do before they would have done so! It was frustrating...I gave up, they won.

    I still keep losing comments.
    Stuff pointing from notifications lead to no such comment - cannot find anything with Ctrl+F and I see no page numbers or any other indicators of any other pages existing.

    Anyone else not being able to find their comment in a thread?
    I have a notification of two replies but I cannot find even my own comment let alone their replies.

    @ernest I was thinking that maybe it's on another page but I see no indicators of any pages (I have the infinite scrolling enabled).

    Damaskox,
    @Damaskox@kbin.social avatar

    @livus Didn't see any page indicators.
    Clicked oldest and still didn't find by searching my nickname.

    I'm starting to see some serious downsides to being able to see who downvotes you. (kbin.social)

    A few days ago I downvoted someone's comment, and the next day I happened to notice every single comment I've ever made had at least one downvote. All from the person I dared to downvote the ONE time. I straight up asked why they did it, and they seem to think I'm an "obvious" troll account that "apparently just exist to...

    Damaskox,
    @Damaskox@kbin.social avatar

    I'm okay with someone not agreeing with me. I'm okay with someone downvoting me.
    Someone downvoting everything I have and will ever make? Well, there's a magazine I'd love to get more folks in and this behavior could cripple it badly, since I get next-to-no votes in there from others so it's already difficult to get more eyes on it. But other than that I think I get more agreements so I wouldn't care that much.

    Therefore I'm happy that there's an upvote and downvote (and a reputation) system.

    Can I see which users have subscribed to a magazine? (The ones I've created at least)

    I keep noticing once in a while that when I add a link with an alias like this, sometimes the link vanishes when I later look upon my thread (not sure yet if this happens on comments or microblog).

    is it my side which malfunctions sometimes?
    (I use Windows on PC, Firefox and https://kbin.social/)

    What rules does kbin have? Like, for posting content.
    I tried to google info but didn't find anything.

    I have a magazine that concerns morbid curiosity so I'm wondering, where's the line 🤔 (The magazine is K18 already)

    #kbinMeta

    Damaskox,
    @Damaskox@kbin.social avatar

    @ghostatnoon Okay
    So, basically posting heavy gore in a neutral way wouldn't break rules?

    If I wanna use an emoji here 😃

    1. Go to Whatsapp
    2. Use an emoji code or search one from the emoji list
    3. Copy it from the text field
    4. Go to a kbin comment/thread text box
    5. Paste emoji

    I'm so happy that now I can edit the thread picture afterwards!

    Needed to edit the picture many times! 😂

    Damaskox,
    @Damaskox@kbin.social avatar

    Affirmative!

    Damaskox,
    @Damaskox@kbin.social avatar

    Well, English isn't my native language and I can still find an emoji within 1-2 seconds with a code (they're coded English).
    Of course localizationing emojis (or anything) would need work done.

    Graphical is okay.
    You could also have both.

    Damaskox,
    @Damaskox@kbin.social avatar

    Oh wow.
    Couldn't have guessed THAT out by myself 😂

    Updating the picture!

    @Damaskox@kbin.social avatar

    What do you mean?

    @Damaskox@kbin.social avatar

    Oh my Deity how did you do that?!

    I've been cursing enviously for days when I see a spoiler (system) I couldn't use myself!
    I didn't get Lemmy's style to work.

    Damaskox,
    @Damaskox@kbin.social avatar

    Yeah I have noticed that emojis work.

    I just didn't know that kbin had a system to bring them out conveniently.

    I find adding emojis on mobile to my text as inconvenient than copy-pasting emojis from other apps on dektop 😂

    Damaskox,
    @Damaskox@kbin.social avatar

    Yeah, didn't remember that, even though I've used them a little 🤦‍♂️

    Updated!

    Does this thing work?

    sigh Finally.
    Now I just need to find a convenient way to save this piece of code and copy-paste it whenever I need it 🤔

    .

    ...except that when I wrote more text into this comment, the code broke 🤔

    Upon further testing - if I edit a text, the spoiler stops working. When I update the page, the spoiler works again.

    Is it browser-, operating system- or device-related?

    I'm on Windows PC, Firefox, at https://kbin.social/

    Damaskox,
    @Damaskox@kbin.social avatar

    Hmm. Okay.

    Yeah I'm no code savvy so let's hope they know more about it 😁

    Damaskox,
    @Damaskox@kbin.social avatar

    I wholeheartedly agree on the editor button!

    Damaskox,
    @Damaskox@kbin.social avatar

    I understood that boost in kbin is the same as upvote in Lemmy.
    What is voting in kbin? Boosts?
    What is this CSS? How does it function?

    I'm not sure how to look for indications of new comment markings, in both kbin and Lemmy.

    Damaskox,
    @Damaskox@kbin.social avatar

    Updated CSS and new comments on the list

    Damaskox,
    @Damaskox@kbin.social avatar

    I think it would depend on how you work with it.

    If you use it only for bookmarking threads, then kinda yeah.
    But if you just give thumbs up to stuff without ever returning later, then it would probably be difficult to find your bookmarks from between.

    My personal opinion?
    I'd rather keep them apart, cos I feel they are a different function and useful apart as well.

    How do you crosspost (in kbin.social)?

    #kbinMeta

    Damaskox,
    @Damaskox@kbin.social avatar

    @jeena I'm in kbin.social.

    I don't see a cross-posting icon under a thread of mine 😥

    Damaskox,
    @Damaskox@kbin.social avatar

    @daredevil I noticed the crosspost box came to view when I copied a thread link into another place.

    So cross-posting works already - in a way.

    Just making sure that is this magazine's existence against kbin rules?

    I see a mention of them in magazine options.

    I am happy that folks study drugs to help people get more benefits out of them than disadvantages.

    I notice myself constantly thinking about the (more silent) magazines I have subscribed to and how they are faring.

    I know that I find the magazines I have subscribed to through my profile and the subscriptions. But for reasons I cannot materialize to words that feels like a convoluted way to approach these magazines.

    I'm not so sure what I'm trying to say - I guess I just hope there was a view equivalent to https://kbin.social/magazines that showed only the ones I have subscribed to (maybe there could be an option, a box you could tick?) and maybe showing the last time someone created any kind of activity within a magazine?

    How does one embed a GIF so it shows in a comment without clicking any links?

    Test: https://tenor.com/fi/view/this-is-just-sad-sad-angry-mock-horror-gif-11156785

    Test 2: <div class="tenor-gif-embed" data-postid="11156785" data-share-method="host" data-aspect-ratio="1.77515" data-width="100%"><a href="https://tenor.com/view/this-is-just-sad-sad-angry-mock-horror-gif-11156785">This Is Just Sad Angry GIF</a>from <a href="https://tenor.com/search/this+is+just+sad-gifs">This Is Just Sad GIFs</a></div> <script type="text/javascript" async src="https://tenor.com/embed.js"></script>

    Test 3: I tried to add it as a picture as a file from the computer but editing this comment doesn't add it.

    #kbinMeta

    Damaskox,
    @Damaskox@kbin.social avatar

    @Darkassassin07 I see that as a link, however.

    My point was to see the GIF as the GIF itself, moving, instead as a link I need to click to open it to see it.

    Damaskox,
    @Damaskox@kbin.social avatar

    @Fiivemacs Using this function for memes is another thing.

    My intention in this discussion is to use GIFs as reactions.

    Damaskox,
    @Damaskox@kbin.social avatar

    @Darkassassin07 Good to know!

    (I'm in the PC Firefox's kbin.social)

    Damaskox, (edited )
    @Damaskox@kbin.social avatar

    @Darkassassin07 Hmm. Difficult to tell the difference cos all I see are links with an image icon 😂
    Though clicking on them shows me the difference visually, in a new tab.

    I'll stick to the Add media -button in my case...and in my client.

    Damaskox,
    @Damaskox@kbin.social avatar

    @Fiivemacs Yeah well, I suppose some folks rather not see emojis neither.
    Though they take less space in your eyes than GIFs, they may not always deliver the same feeling what the sender intends 🙂

    Damaskox,
    @Damaskox@kbin.social avatar

    I don't do it myself.
    Even if I got 1000 upvotes for a comment or a post, knowing that one of them would be my own feels...strange to me.

    There's something about "being 100% legit" through not upvoting my own stuff.
