I do not have the time, patience, or thick skin needed to be a moderator. I do have a community or two I’d like to create on Kbin and post to, though. Is it currently possible for this set of steps to happen?...
I put together this unofficial guide to /kbin. It's not perfect. Probably needs some more clean up and a few gaps filled ... but version 1.0 is out!...
Today I got slightly confused when a post in my meta community on my single user instance got a reply. As you can see, it was explained to me that they arrived there via kbin’s random magazine....
There's been a definite uptick on spam bots lately, all Kbin users. I've been reporting them as I see them while browsing new, but it gets tedious. Sorry about the report spam, mods. Does the new user registration need to be tightened up any?
I dunno if you've noticed but federation between kbin and lemmy is shaky at best. By doing even a quick comparison between some original instances and their kbin pages, it is easy to see that comments and sometimes entire threads do not get synced and are practically invisible to the other side....
The front page seems to work alright most of the time but when I try to load any thread it either loads so slowly(sometimes like 30+ seconds) that I end up closing the page or I get hit with a Error 50x page that has been saying "Over the next few days, there will be a change in server infrastructure." for a long time....
I recently stood up a kbin instance using the Docker guide for testing purposes. I can see the KBin UI, log in with my admin user, create magazines and threads....
I got this when trying to report https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/364640/Trendy-Reaction-Videos and also separately got the same when trying to report https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/364628/Home
I moderate @mcsuggestions, and today, I noticed that my comments on the two most recent threads didn't show up when I was logged in. After some experimentation, I figured out that whenever I had any domain blocked, all comments on those threads disappeared. From what I can tell in this magazine, others are experiencing the same...
Sorry if this has already been asked, but is there a way to know if kbin is or is not federated with another instance? I know there is a way to block domains by typing in https://your kbin instance/d/domain you want to block and blocking them from there, but is there a way to see a list of instances defederated by default?...
I haven't used kbin much this past week, but over the last day or so I noticed I haven't seen the "login bug" happen anymore. I can leave a tab open and still come back later and upvote, boost or comment on posts without the page giving me an error and asking me to re-log in....
I've been looking for a usecase to see where the combination of Threads and Microblog was particularly useful, and with the news around the potential superconductor #LK99 I figured this would be an interesting test case. So I made a magazine on kbin.social for LK99, and added the hashtags to tags in settings....
Secure a place in history. Create the source material for hundreds of journalists, bloggers and shitposters writing about the downfall of reddit and the rise of the threadiverse. (also missing!)...
Every time I try to upvote or boost something, there's a solid 20% chance it'll link to an Error page titled "Log in". That percentage seems to increase the longer I've had my Kbin tab open without refreshing it....
