Meta just showed off Threads’ fediverse integration for the very first time (www.theverge.com)
Threads’ fediverse plans are coming together.
/kbin quick March update (kbin.social)
I'm slowly catching up with backlog tasks and cleaning up instances, but there's still quite a bit to do. Day by day, I'm managing to work longer hours, but I still need some time to ramp up the intensity of work. Just wanted to let you know that there might be brief downtimes in instance operation over the weekend. I aim to...
So, what's the status on the update? (edit: ernest responded) (kbin.social)
I don't want to hurry anyone, just asking what's up, if there's been any trouble or anything....
What are my options when a community/ magazine doesn’t exist on fedia.io? (fedia.io)
This is something that could go in the FAQ. If the answer is to post to a community on another instance, I never figured out how to do that....
What happened to embedded videos? (fedia.io)
For a while now all video threads are basically just opening a screenshot of the video when you expand them instead of opening the video itself. I noticed this both for YouTube and Catbox hosted videos and you now have to first open the thread itself, and then click on the actual link of the title to open the actual page where...

StarTrek.website has updated to Lemmy version 0.19.3 (Clear cache/cookies in browser or remove+re-add account in app if experiencing login issues)
We had been waiting at 0.18.5 for a while because 0.19 came with some federation bugs (and obviously it would be extremely embarrassing if this instance had issues in that department)....

/kbin March update (kbin.social)
I'm feeling a bit better. Starting today, I'll be returning to work as much as possible. This week will likely be spent catching up on tasks, replying to emails, reading overdue comments, etc. I also need to work with Piotr on instance infrastructure. I'll be more actively handling spam as well, but it's clear that we need...
Can KBin not like, freak out at any turn when surfing on it? (kbin.social)
I forced myself to go back a little to Reddit recently. Because while I endorse and love the existence of the Fediverse, I can't in good conscience, tolerate the instability of it. Any other time I go somewhere, I'm met with a page that says KBin is working on resolving issues, then I go somewhere else and it's fine....
Is anyone else finding it impossible to block anything from hexbear.net? (fedia.io)
You literally can't do it. If you try, you just get an error message. Pretty much anything from hexbear.net is unblockable. Which is really unfortunately, because it is one of the worst instances out there.
Is Ernest still here? (kbin.social)
I don't mind waiting for things to be fixed what with life interfering with things, but I can't find any activity from Ernest lately. He hasn't been, like... hit by a bus or anything terrible like that, has he?

If kbin is going down for planned maintenance can the generic ‘ Over the next few days, there will be a change in server infrastructure…’ text at least be dated (kbin.social)
It’s impossible to tell if there is an actual server upgrade, or they have just gone down, displaying the message from last time.
It's the middle of an infrastructure update and you're reading this, posted to kbin, on kbin. How's that for stability? (kbin.social)
Now, you can't vote this thread up or down, and if you try to reply you'll get an error*, but like Morpheus said to the Ziononians "We are still here". I think that's pretty cool.
Pixelfed introduces Loops, a Short-Form Video App (wedistribute.org)
Short-form video might in fact be the next frontier for federated media. The dev behind a popular photo-sharing platform is diving in headfirst.
Request for errors on fedia.io (fedia.io)
Hi all. I was recently made aware that people have been getting error 429's and other error 500's when visiting fedia.io. My hope/expectation is that those will no longer happen now that I've moved back to a bare metal install, but if you do experience that, please comment below, or if that doesn't work, send me an emai to...
A magazine to help moderators moderate (kbin.social)
I thought of creating this magazine to help myself and potentially others, to see how moderating works in practice in kbin. If you feel like becoming a mod but hesitate, you can become one in the following magazine and try out the available features yourself:...
