ContentConsumer9999,

I feel like blocking someone should just make your content dissappear for them.

ContentConsumer9999,

Blocking someone means that you don't want to interact with them anymore and making all of your content invisible to them is a pretty surefire way of doing that.

ContentConsumer9999,

Yeah, I guess if they're constantly harassing you under your threads/microbologs/comments you can just report them and get them banned.

ContentConsumer9999,

Well, I haven't been that active today but I haven't encountered any issues yet so things seem to be going well, at least for me.

What does the "Favorites" feed do? (kbin.social)

I've been using Kbin for a few months now and I didn’t really feel the need to set my #feed to anything besides "Subscribed". I can guess from their names what the "All" and "Moderated" feed are but I have no idea what the #favorites feed does. I've seen that the recently added #collections also use the word "favorite" when...

ContentConsumer9999,

Got it! Thanks.
Btw, do you know if I see content from my favorited collections in my sub feed?

@ernest I tried to upvote this post and got an error. P.S. This happened just a few minutes ago.
Edit: I tried it again and it seems fixed.

I've noticed that a lot of people on the #fediverse aren't particularly welcoming to those who don't initially get it or have trouble with it. You'd think that if multiple people say they have trouble picking an instance, it might be a genuine barrier to entry that we need to consider when introducing them to the fediverse. But no, instead of suggesting an instance to get rid of that barrier everyone gives unhelpful advice like "just pick one" or "it's not that hard." We'd have a much easier time getting people on the fediverse if there weren't so many people with this attitude of "the fediverse is simple, and the people who don't get it are lazy and should try harder."

ContentConsumer9999,

@carturo222 As far as I know that's a Mastodon #exclusive feature. Probably because it could cause some massive #security issues.

ContentConsumer9999,

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

ContentConsumer9999,

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

ContentConsumer9999,

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.

Thinking on creating a guide on leaving Twitter etc. for creators, etc., some tips on what it should include? (kbin.social)

A lot of artists, etc. are reluctant to leave corporate social media like Twitter, due to fears over the Fediverse (usually spread by other people, that think Fediverse = Gab + some cryprobros + maybe Pawoo), or not willing to understand it....

ContentConsumer9999,

Maybe you could include some recommendations on carrying over content/followers. Especially if there're bots to do it.

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.

ContentConsumer9999,

What did you do for the first one?

ContentConsumer9999,

For me only the one before "Test:" seems to be working. Is that the 3rd one somehow going on top?

ContentConsumer9999,

Hey, Ernest! Do you have any suggestions for userstyles? Maybe ones that includes stuff you want to add but don't have the time to yet.

What are your thoughts on Microblogs vs threads? (kbin.social)

When I first joined Kbin I posted threads due to being a reddit refugee but have started posting microblogs as time went on. I have also noticed some magazines have more threads while others have more microblog posts. For example kbinmeta has more threads while the most active magazine I moderate has mostly microblogs.

ContentConsumer9999,

I really hope magazines get the ability to detach from hashtags since currently @fediverse and @fediverse seem to be picking up all microblogs that use even if said hashtag is used to just refer to fediverse users.

ContentConsumer9999,

As someone who's never really utilized hashtags, do you have any suggestions?

ContentConsumer9999,

Did the new update change anything about how microblogs get sorted into magazines?

ContentConsumer9999,

Thanks for the insight! I was mainly wondering about how I should use hashtags on my own microblogs and comments but I didn't even think about using them as browsing tools. Could you maybe give more tips about the former?

ContentConsumer9999,

Thanks :)

ContentConsumer9999,

Thanks for the ! I'll try and use them to enrich my contributions to the .

The #Fediverse is great.

And it doesn't need more users from lousy corporate sites.

But it could do with some new features I think.

Don't you think it would be cool if #Mastodon had a giveaway / exchange feature, maybe even a place to sell things.

Maybe there could have some myspace style page thing for creative people to make a page. Or at least, if that already exists, a little promotional thing to get people to use it more.

Make it happen now please.

ContentConsumer9999,

@lydiaconwell The Fediverse definitely needs more users.

ContentConsumer9999,

Can you link to the Matrix space you mentioned? I didn't know there was one about Kbin.

ContentConsumer9999,

I remember a Lemmy World post saying they were temporarily one-way blocking Kbin because of issues with moderation.

ContentConsumer9999,

Ernest has said before that they were busy with real life things and I think their current priority is some anti-spam measures and better moderation.

Hey there, wonderful folks! Guess what? @reiver and I are thinking about starting a podcast, all about the fascinating world of the Fediverse. Super exciting, right?

Now here's where you come in: we would absolutely love to hear what topics about the #Fediverse or social media tickle your curiosity. Maybe you're wondering about its inner workings, or perhaps you're keen on exploring some other intriguing aspects. Whatever it may be, please do share your thoughts and comment below. Your input is truly valuable!

Sending out lots of love and appreciation to all of you!

I'd love to see new fediverse tech and platforms discussed.

If you are on a smaller instance, are you able to see follows and followers of people on other instances? Is this an instance setting or something else? #Fediverse #FediAsk

ContentConsumer9999,

@DrVeronikaCH As a Kbin user I can only see local follows and can't see followers at all.

ContentConsumer9999,

Do you know of any way to "force update" threads without having another account? Can you do something similar to force searching communities?

ContentConsumer9999,

So when a community isn't in kbin yet you can search @[community name]@[instance] to create it. I was asking if a similar thing is possible with threads.

ContentConsumer9999,

What's the "Fediverse icon"?

ContentConsumer9999,

For some reason I can only see the icon next to comments but just pasting the top link works for posts.

ContentConsumer9999,

I think Lemmygrad being larger might also be an issue.
