Big update for Fedia.io - it’s not going anywhere (fedia.io)
First, I want to thank those who pointed me to mbin. I spent about 14 hours today with help from the mbin team on and off and found/fixed many problems....
Why doesn't blocking work? (kbin.social)
I had to block a few users yesterday. Today, I noticed about ten notifications from users I've blocked—they replied to me, continued to make up lies about my heritage, and I continued to see their comments in my notifications....
Blocking and Downvote Stalking (kbin.social)
Should blocking a user still allow them to vote on your posts? I'd rather have nothing to do with particular users, and it seems that they continue to show up in the activity for every single post I make around kbin.
PSA: Upvote is not an upvote like you are used to (like Reddit) - "Boost" is the Reddit Upvote (kbin.social)
Like the title says, if you want to upvote something on KBin, you should use the Boost link, not the upvote button (Why? Don't know...)...
[UPDATE] Issues with the functioning of kbin.social (kbin.social)
The main issues with the improper functioning of the instance have been resolved, but it led to additional complications. Currently, using the instance should be quite comfortable, but I will continue to work intensively on a comprehensive solution for the next few days. Therefore, occasional interruptions or errors may still...
/kbin another quick update (kbin.social)
Good morning, last week we managed to address pressing issues related to infrastructure. Thank you once again for your assistance, Piotr. I will continue work in this area, but it will be less invasive and cumbersome. I have restored the test environments and am slowly getting back into coding....
I Still Like Kbin.social (kbin.social)
I still like posting here....
We're back (kbin.social)
Today, a technical server malfunction occurred. Unfortunately, it wasn't the planned update yet. The upcoming one will definitely be much shorter ;)...
Images from this instance aren't arriving at my instance? (feddit.nl)
Hi! I hope this is the right place to post this, but I’m having trouble receiving the images from this instance on my home instance, this is what Risa looks like for me in the browser and in the app (I use liftoff). I’ve tried the suggestion in the FAQ of disabling adblock/adding a rule, but that doesn’t seem to solve...
"It's the content, stupid." - Quick Notes to Supercharge K.Bin (kbin.social)
Like you, I'm a passionate user of K.Bin but lately, I'm noticing that things are getting kinda stale around here. The most recent thread in this, the top-level magazine on K.Bin, is 4 days old. Many other top 25 magazines are also suffering from a similar lack of fresh content. I run /m/scifi and it's been continuing to grow...
AI Detectors Get It Wrong. Writers Are Being Fired Anyway (gizmodo.com)
So I really am the cancer on this platform (kbin.social)
Noticed I got banned by the admins from lemmy.world shower thoughts yesterday. The admins have an interesting reason though....
How do you recall your most used commands?
For example, things you do often but not often enough to make a muscle memory? On Linux systems with Bash, I just use bash aliases. If I do it more than once, It gets an alias or a script; cause I won’t remember next time. Example of my current desktop aliases :...
Spam from unmoderated communities/magazines
Both !infosec and !science are being spammed constantly with opioid ads and other non-sense....
How can mbin/kbin users subscribe or even just reach a lemmy community? (fedia.io)
I’m trying to access this community from fedia.io:...

Beehaw on Lemmy: The long-term conundrum of staying here (beehaw.org)
A discussion happening over on beehaw about problems with federation and moderation, and on fundamental issues with Lemmy itself, and what would go into making a fork vs starting something new.
How do we feel about Flipboard federating? (kbin.social)
Flipboard has recently begun federation, starting with 25 accounts. These accounts can be viewed from Kbin with their posts showing up as microblog posts....

Harris Wolobah, a healthy 14-year-old from Worcester, Massachusetts, tragically died last Friday, hours after eating a single ultra-spicy tortilla chip seasoned with two of the hottest peppers in the world.
Academic journal forced to retract peer-reviewed AI-generated paper after "rat penis" pics go viral (media.kbin.social)
Help installing PHP on Ubuntu (Solved. Thank you!)
(I’m currently using Firefox 124.01 on Ubuntu 22.04.03 LTS) (My formatting is also givinge problems… I want to eat my own eyeballs out right now…)...
/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...
I'm getting tired of making generally bad OC
I’ve made quite a few posts to /c/risa that are actual OC. I’m either horrible at humor, the timing is bad, or it doesn’t work for whatever reason. Extremely low effort memes? Lots of upvotes. If I do high effort stuff that takes an hour or more, I’m just discouraged by the lack of even comments....
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....
