Damaskox, I notice myself constantly thinking about the (more silent) magazines I have subscribed to and how they are faring.
I know that I find the magazines I have subscribed to through my profile and the subscriptions. But for reasons I cannot materialize to words that feels like a convoluted way to approach these magazines.
I'm not so sure what I'm trying to say - I guess I just hope there was a view equivalent to https://kbin.social/magazines that showed only the ones I have subscribed to (maybe there could be an option, a box you could tick?) and maybe showing the last time someone created any kind of activity within a magazine?
Skavau, Would it be of interest for someone to set up an /m/abandonedcommunities or /m/findamod or even some /m/revivedcommunities magazine to act as a megaphone for revived communities of interest, or to bring attention to unused communities? I know there's abandoned list but it's effectively a big wall of communities.
Damaskox, Would it be acceptable in kbin etiquette to add a tag in at least one thread in a magazine I created, and when talking about stuff in other places that touch the same topic, I use the same tag there as well to "promote" the existence of the magazine?
Damaskox, There was a magazine where you could post about new magazines.
I don't remember its name to search for it.
Damaskox, How do I add an image to a magazine so it's visible without clicking (image) links?
Didn't find info about it when searching.
jared, Add a ! Before the link brackets
Damaskox, @jared I actually noticed that there was a graphical tab in the magazine settings where the image was added.
It was just in a different place than what I thought.
Squidcopter, So many magazines that were created by default as a result only have 1 moderator: Ernest.
While this is the case, anyone is free to post whatever the hell they want no matter how unrelated or low quality. This is what has prevented me from coming back daily.
Damaskox, @Squidcopter Can you look for a magazine where folks "behave"? Where they create content that actually follows the magazine's theme?
Yeah it can take resources to find one but if could be rewarding enough for ya to establish beginning conditions for you in here!

Today, I will be slightly less available as I am in the final stages of taking care of all the formalities, and I also had to handle a few personal matters. Starting tomorrow, I will be back at full capacity again. When this succeeds, in the next releases, I will focus more on frontend and accessibility.
steinbring, I have been following @milwaukee and @wisconsin from kbin.social and I noticed that starting around a week ago or so, I can post to the communities but new posts and comments don't make it from midwest.social to kbin.social. Is there a federation issue? Was something recently broken?
quortez, @steinbring can you see this?
steinbring, @quortez I can
crossmr, can't even post a thread in this magazine.
So my question: are we going to be defederating instances that don't crack down on users supporting and advocating terrorism?
soweli-mute, yeah kbin is definitely more suited to being used on desktop lol.
soweli-mute, kbin is lowkey kinda complicated lol
there's so many different kinds of posts, microblogging, threads, etc.
lowkey a bit overwhelming.
Teppic, @soweli There is certainly some truth to that, but
- it gets easeir farily quickly; and
- it's worth the effort! Other platforms don't give you the same power and breadth of access across the fediverse.
You'll find you get more interaction from within kbin (and also from Lemmy) if you use 'Threads' rather than 'Posts' (like this). Posts sit in the Microblog and are more aligned to Mastodon way of working - they are harder to see unless people already follow you.
jcrm, Can we PLEASE make the top bar be customizable already? Or at least filter NSFW by default? It's a really bad look whenever I open this and "jailbait" is at the top of my screen almost every time.
Arotrios, @jcrm Lol - I figured out how to do this accidentally. You may have noticed that Jailbait doesn't appear in the top bar anymore.
It's because I posted this to it (sfw and 18+ by a long shot, but you'll still want eyebleach). Apparently that top bar of communities prioritizes those that have no posts. Take a look - you'll see every suggested community is empty. Posting to one removes it from the selection algorithm.
Pinging @ernest as it looks like the sorting on that top bar algorithm is achieving the opposite of its intended purpose.
CarlsIII, Is auto media preview not working for anyone else? It hasn’t been working for me for weeks.
CarlsIII, I’m not sure what you mean, I only see one option for it
CarlsIII, Huh…this whole time there were two separate options for it. For some reason I remember the one for “threads” to be at the bottom like the “microblog” one is now. Anyway, thanks for helping me figure this out. Time to turn the confusing thumbnails off again!
harmonea, My #kbin account seems broken? :\ For the last month+ I can't get any thread I create to show up in its magazine, even when the magazine is a local one. Comments are fine, microblog posts are fine, threads show up in my profile but never the magazine.
Admittedly I don't try very often, but that makes it all the more disheartening when I feel like "yay, I finally have something worth sharing" and, well, no apparently I don't.
e569668, @harmonea you may be blocking a domain, which causes a bug detailed here. tl;dr blocking any domain on kbin.social right now hides any non-link entries and comments on them. removing them all fixes it, it's fixed in latest which hopefully the main site gets soon
harmonea, @e569668 Oh, hrm. I am blocking a domain, yes. Sophie's choice: see the crap or lose the ability to contribute - haha
Thank you very much for your help and the knowledge that a fix is ready to go soon(ish(maybe)).
rideranton, (edited ) I've submitted the second to last #kbin #API PR for review! This PR adds thread and thread comment retrieval, creation, deletion, editing, voting, reporting, and moderation functionality to the API! The last PR will be very similar to this one, except for microblogs!
Didn't you have the API 'complete' like 2 months ago?
Yes, but it did not have any tests written to verify that it worked. These PRs have been resolving that issue so that there can be at least some guarantees that the API works when it gets onto kbin.social and others
(Also, please remember to buy @ernest a coffee if you are able, he's been burning the candle at both ends to support kbin.social and deal with personal business)
