I think we should slightly rethink how login works on most Fediverse apps (Mastodon, Lemmy, but not only) (kbin.social)
A while ago I posted a thread back on the...
I'm seeing more microblog posts (kbin.social)
Is anyone else? One of the reasons I was interested in /kbin over other options was this feature, but I don't remember seeing them on subscribed or all. Is this new? I'm kind of intimidated by it but ultimately know I want to interact. I'm seeing some cool stuff! It's all on magazines I have subscribed to.
Multiple questions regarding Kbin (fedia.io)
Hi, as a new Kbin/Mbin user, I have some questions regarding its use. I hope you can help me out....
What's The Difference Between a "Collection" and a "Magazine"? (kbin.social)
I noticed it's 'slash c' https://kbin.social/c/Feminism but 'slash m' https://kbin.social/m/commodore64
Since no upvotes are possible, the 'Hot' and 'New' pages of Kbin should show the same content. That's kinda awesome (kbin.social)
Browsing by new was great in the early days of the first Kbin expansion, right after the reddit migration. I got to see all sorts of posts from interesting communities. Things you wouldn't normally see browsing under 'Hot'. Eventually, as thread numbers increase, I found myself using 'Hot' almost exclusively because it delivered...
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.
/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...
(De)centralisation of Lemmy communities in numbers (kbin.social)
Lemmy instances by number of communities with over 1 thousand (5 thousands, 10 thousands) of monthly users:...
Is anyone using old.startrek.website?
I just noticed today that old.startrek.website isn’t loading properly. The fact that zero people have said anything to the admins makes me wonder if anyone’s using it at all. So speak up if you are! I will be happy to fix it for you, but otherwise may just uninstall....
The Doctor Who wiki has forked from Fandom and is now self-hosted (tardis.wiki)
It’d be nice to see Memory Alpha make the same move…
Fedia.io rebuild complete (fedia.io)
Hi all. It took a while for me to get to it, but I have just completed rehoming fedia.io from containers back to a bare metal install. This should fix the issue with federation stopping. I'll keep an eye on it, though.
3D-Printed Neural Tissue Grows And Functions Like a Human Brain (www.sciencealert.com)
Researchers have created the first functional 3D-printed brain tissue that can develop and form connections in the same way as real human brain tissue.
Byron Allen Makes $30 Billion Bid For Paramount Global In Debt & Equity (deadline.com)
The reported m.o. for Allen would be to sell the Paramount film studio, real estate and IP.
Cross posting norms and etiquette? (kbin.social)
I still don’t really understand crossposting or the multiple link options on kbin. What should kbin users know about crossposting and linking?
Flaky GIF uploads (fedia.io)
Uploading GIFs on this site has been hit-or-miss for the few months I've been here, but where they used to fail with an error page a while back, the GIF is now quietly discarded from the thread. Posting GIFs to this instance is broken from kbin.social as well (where the whole post fails) so it's not a front-end issue.
Where did Magazine search go? (kbin.social)
There used to be an interface for quickly searching available magazines, subscribing, seeing population counts, etc. Does this not exist anymore, or am I just missing it?
Defederate from Fanaticus.social (kbin.social)
Every single poster I've seen responding to articles on Lemmy and kbin from this site have been shitty, angry little pricks with regressive takes on everything. We need to block these trolls before they ruin engagement from well-reasoned humans.
Problems with spam accounts from lemmy.blahaj.zone (kbin.social)
Over the last few days, there's been an increasing problem with spam accounts from lemmy.blahaj.zone. It seems like they're working on addressing this issue, at least in a one-at-a-time fashion, but it's clear that they have not been able to proactively prevent the problem yet....
Is kbin social and kbin cafe run by the same person? (kbin.cafe)
I am new and signed up using kbin cafe but seem to be able to post in kbin social. I am guessing each website is like its own email service from what I can see. Though I am not sure if the owner of kbin social is the same as the owner of kbin cafe. I take it anyone can set up their own kbin site and connect it to the other kbin...
fediverse == federation? (moist.catsweat.com)
ive never quite enjoyed the term fediverse. i realized recently ive been utilizing 'fediverse' and 'federation' interchangeably to the point i made a thing, and didnt notice until after i posted it...
Who is the admin of kbin.social? (kbin.social)
Who is the admin of this instance? I've send several emails using https://kbin.social/contact with no reply. Is this instance not moderated or what?
Option to put thread comment box above existing comments? (kbin.social)
As scrolling to the bottom of the page to leave a comment can be a hassle on posts with lots of existing comments, an option to put the thread comment box above existing comments would be helpful....
I cannot see some threads. Is there something wrong with my account or is is a bug? (kbin.social) Czech
Some threads that are visible when logged out become invisible when logged in. This seems to apply to all magazines and all instances - I am not completely blocked from an instance or a magazine, they just don't show all the threads. This seemingly started relatively recently, because I now cannot open a thread that I commented...
saving posts (teacup.social)
Sometimes I write a really good post/comment that I want to come back to I the future, such as copying and pasting....
