e0qdk, @ernest -- As requested by RTR#32, I got an error upvoting a thread.

Let me know if there's any other details you need.
ContentConsumer9999,
ThatOneKirbyMain2568, Another update to my #kbin userstyle idkbin (now at 1.2.6.1)! The "new comment" marker recently added by Ernest is now stylized by idkbin (mainly to work with rounded edges), and a bug with borders has been fixed. #kbinmeta #kbinstyles
EDIT: Typo.
Damaskox, I keep noticing once in a while that when I add a link with an alias like this, sometimes the link vanishes when I later look upon my thread (not sure yet if this happens on comments or microblog).
is it my side which malfunctions sometimes?
(I use Windows on PC, Firefox and https://kbin.social/)
Damaskox, What rules does kbin have? Like, for posting content.
I tried to google info but didn't find anything.I have a magazine that concerns morbid curiosity so I'm wondering, where's the line 🤔 (The magazine is K18 already)
Pamasich,
ernest, @Pamasich Currently, there is no such view, but I plan to personalize the feed /sub more with a brief description of why I see a particular post and the ability to filter, for example followings boosts. But that will be after the completion of work, at least partially, on federation.
ernest,
Kotking, @ernest
hmmmm
random post section
Might as well show this one as well
Mastodon ehh same on Misskey.
skepickle,
btp, Is there any way to search or filter the abandoned magazines list?
subignition,
palordrolap, TL;DR: To create a new post anywhere in the Fediverse, you have to have an account on the host where you want to create it. (As far as I know anyway.)
To participate in comments is slightly different, and in many cases, a comment made on a separate instance (or even platform) will show up on the original instance, provided the admins of each have set up respective federation.
Nonetheless, this can also fail. Consider several people on, say, kbin.social all subscribed to the same Lemmy community on some instance or another.
They'll all see each other's comments as well as the Lemmy users' comments, and be able to interact, but if that Lemmy's admin team decides not to allow external comments to be visible, the kbin folks will be talking to each other and no-one at the Lemmy, even if their comments are in response to, and show up underneath, a Lemmy user's message.
That Lemmy user would be totally clueless unless they knew to access kbin.social and check. And no-one's going to want, or even be able, to do the rounds of all potential Federation sites to see if they have unfederated responses.
What would be nice is if it was possible to log in to one Federation site with credentials for another, or have some non-specific login details that are shared across multiple, but I suspect that's a logistical nightmare waiting to happen.
Since I'm over a thousand characters in at this point, I might as well explain that you're getting this response two weeks late(r) because your post showed up on the kbin.social sidebar for me today for some reason.
subignition, @palordrolap Oh hey, thanks for the detailed response! I actually did some exploration and learning since I made the OP, so I can bring some info to this discussion as well in case the post floats by more people!
TL;DR: To create a new post anywhere in the Fediverse, you have to have an account on the host where you want to create it.
Thankfully, this isn't the case. I think Kbin has (or had? haven't tried lately) some UI issues that prevented you from being able to properly find federated communities to submit a post to them. I made an alt account on fedia.io (linked in my profile) and I have been able to post threads on communities in other instances from there.
As far as I know, you are correct about the potential for one-way defederation causing visibility issues in the way you describe. Last I checked that was not really an intended use case for the functionality, i.e. it should normally be a mutual process, but I think that may be an area where the platforms are still experiencing growing pains.
What would be nice is if it was possible to log in to one Federation site with credentials for another, or have some non-specific login details that are shared across multiple, but I suspect that's a logistical nightmare waiting to happen.
Agreed, both that it would be nice and that it will probably never happen. :P I don't claim to know any more technical details than those broad strokes.
Damaskox, (edited ) How do you crosspost (in kbin.social)?
jeena, I’m on Lemmy so I press this button:
https://jemmy.jeena.net/pictrs/image/c7fa1848-f85e-41e8-8ff8-0bd2e477f117.png
Which then opens this dialog:

ernest, @Damaskox It still requires work. Currently, it's more about presenting threads.
Damaskox, What are badges?
I see a mention of them in magazine options.
ernest, @Damaskox These are the equivalents of Reddit flairs. The owner can define badges to additionally label and organize content in their own magazine. After the introduction of the new frontend, this feature has not been rewritten. We will be working on it in the coming months.
Damaskox, (edited )
Damaskox, How does one embed a GIF so it shows in a comment without clicking any links?
Test: https://tenor.com/fi/view/this-is-just-sad-sad-angry-mock-horror-gif-11156785
Test 2: <div class="tenor-gif-embed" data-postid="11156785" data-share-method="host" data-aspect-ratio="1.77515" data-width="100%"><a href="https://tenor.com/view/this-is-just-sad-sad-angry-mock-horror-gif-11156785">This Is Just Sad Angry GIF</a>from <a href="https://tenor.com/search/this+is+just+sad-gifs">This Is Just Sad GIFs</a></div> <script type="text/javascript" async src="https://tenor.com/embed.js"></script>
Test 3: I tried to add it as a picture as a file from the computer but editing this comment doesn't add it.
Fiivemacs, I see no difference tbh, but you do you. I wish the feature was/is there for people to use, but I enjoy not seeing gifs and having them auto load and hope for counter options.
Damaskox, @Fiivemacs Yeah well, I suppose some folks rather not see emojis neither.
Though they take less space in your eyes than GIFs, they may not always deliver the same feeling what the sender intends 🙂
ThatOneKirbyMain2568, Made a small update to my userstyle idkbin following the recent #kbin update. Colors the user follow & block buttons + some other fixes. #kbinmeta #kbinstyles #kbinMeta
