I am not sure, if it is part of this problem but I am running into the "Error 50x page" a lot today while upvoting posts.

Happens on reddit anyway. Even though people can’t see who downvoted them, they guess. Or someone (or a brigade) mass downvotes not because you downvoted their comment but just because they disagree with or resent your comments. Reddit avoided this by ignoring repeated downvotes from one person and on profile pages.

Personally, if there’s someone who is really abrasive or I just really disagree with and find their posts agitating or distracting, I just block them and that avoids the problem for both of us.

I have the downvote button hidden completely using the KES script because of that issue.

Reddit allowing you to hide your own up/downvotes to others is a really nice privacy feature that I wish the Fediverse in general had, but unfortunately the nature of federation doesn't make that possible unless you prevent them federating to other servers.

I think the significance of votes expires after “generally positive/negative reception”. One or two downvotes seems insignificant.

KevonLooney,

I thought this was a good point, so I upvoted it. Now you have two upvotes.

I’m rethinking my decision…

You’re more than welcome to, my friend. It’s your vote to do with as you please.

Wait, how do you see who downvoted you? I didn't know that was thing here.

Name and shame, otherwise your post here is as worthless as the troll who spent the time and effort to troll you.

It's... It's public info? Like that's his point lol. You can go to his user profile, find a couple of downvoted posts, and see who he's talking about.

Will this work for mobile (android/ios)?

@ThatOneKirbyMain2568@kbin.social avatar

To my knowledge, that'd require a way to install & use the Stylus extension on mobile, which I'm not aware of rn

Links to images seem to not work.

ContentConsumer9999, in Feature comparison - kbin vs Lemmy

I'm not sure what you mean by "Advanced Search -URL" but on Kbin you can put federated #links on the search bar to get (or create) the Kbin version. It works with microblogs, threads and comments.

I don't know what any of the ones that start with "User Input" mean.

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

Waittaminute! is this a Windows only -function?

palordrolap,

There are browser extensions available that can help with the choice. From old-school Reddit habits, I tend not to use them on kbin, but here's an example from the one I use in other places: 🥦 (Hoping broccoli is a safe choice and doesn't have any weird alternative meanings.)

ContentConsumer9999,

I'm pretty sure most mobile keyboards have an emoji keyboard at this point.

DarkThoughts,

@Infiltrated_ad8271@kbin.social avatar

Having formatting codes for emojis is fine, but they are quite niche (does it even work for other languages?), it would be more convenient for most users to integrate a graphical emoji selector.

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.

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

Or just type it in using the Google stock keyboard on Android... 😜
Edit: and kbin does very much support emoji.

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 😂

I'm still getting this error. Seems to be related to how long the page is open before the error starts. I have to reload the page and like everything quickly, because after a few minutes it will take me to the error page.

Skavau, in Can't view the threads page of newcommunities@lemmy.world

Yeah I'm tempted to make a version of "newcommunities" for Kbin since MagHub just doesn't roll off the tongue (and is abandoned, although I doubt that is why it's so weak)
