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

"Random posts" and "Random threads" on sidebar. When you are in a particular thread/mag, this feature still serves randomised posts/threads but with related tags.

What do the colors mean?

Green: software has feature, red: software lacks feature?

Affirmative!

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

Needed to edit the picture many times! 😂

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

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

Updating the picture!

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.

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.

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 😂

Just browsing new and came across the MAP ("minor and youth attracted people") magazine from rqd2.net, most of the active people there are using the same instance. I will be blocking the instance as best I know how, but I think defederating might be the safest bet.

ernest,

Thanks for pointing it out.

@DessertStorms@kbin.social avatar

No worries, thank you for taking care of it so quickly!

ernest, in Blocked accounts still showing in random posts/threads sections
@ernest@kbin.social avatar

I'll take care of it this week.

ernest, in Boosts and reduces no longer working for me?
@ernest@kbin.social avatar

It should be better now.

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.

MoogleMaestro, in To those genuinely interested in moderating

As an added note to the development team @ernest and others:

This has worked pretty well and I'm now trying to clean up the areas I have ownership of now. However, I have a few notes:

  1. I would like it if, in the case of a community ownership transfer happens, that the original "founder" account was noted on the right hand side with the panel details. It would be nice to know this as a moderator or owner of a magazine as, if the user ever comes back, they could reapply for moderation access and I could approve knowing that the person was actually the original founder. Right now, it would be hard to verify that the person submitting a mod request is actually the person who originally founded the community for example.
  2. It would be nice if moderators had the ability to add badges to existing posts to help clean up communities that might have had a lot of content but not much in terms of badge management.
  3. When ownership transfers, it would be nice to get a notification. When transfer of /m/manga and /m/bitwig came to me, for example, I didn't notice until a few days after since I didn't receive a notification.

Should these types of issues be posted as a "bug"? Or is it better to just leave feedback here?

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)

I will check it this evening, thanks.
