In a world where nothing seems to work anymore, especially anything related to tech and/or customer service, getting on my laptop running Linux Mint just feels like a breath of fresh air. And that goes for just about any distro. It's nice to have something that works as it should and doesn't seem to go out of its way to cause...
From the original on Reddit. Reproduced here to ensure it still exists when Reddit goes down....

Edit: alright I'm sticking this up here because a number of people seem confused--this post isn't trying to convince you that "fediverse" is a bad term--rather it's a discussion of why I think "threadiverse" is a good umbrella term, for the forum-based part of the fediverse specifically. (lemmy+kbin)...
In short:...
I realized that there are alot of inactive communities across the Lemmy and kbin instances. The beauty of decentralization is that we don't rely on a central instance, if a fediverse instance becomes the central one that hosts the majority of posts, then if that instance goes down, we lose alot. I also suggest posting to small...
Could we get all the former subreddit mods who migrated to lemmy/kbin to unite and make some promo for lemmy/kbin on /r/place?
TLDR at bottom....
So, this sucks. On Mint, Firefox was running super sluggish to the point of being unusable. I reinstalled Ubuntucinnamon because I enjoyed using it when I had it installed, but between me last having it installed and now there seems to have been an update that has broken cinnamon's system tray. Which, for me, is a major...

Maybe someone smarter than me can explain things, but It's been about a month since I've started the process of creating a magazine to support the reddit/discord community I've helped mod for the past 4 years... but I've noticed that zero posts show up in google search....
I ran into the profile limit so no more comments show up, but they are still on reddit with the csv file having links to the ones that haven't been deleted. There's too much for me to do it manually so would appreciate help if there's some tool to automate the process.
A problem many have realized is that there are many /tech, /gaming etc. communities in different instances/servers. There is already https://fediverse.observer/ , so I think it wouldn't be too hard to make a service that periodically roams the fediverse, checks for example the last 100,000 submissions of each (or top 100 active...
Looking at the front page of this forum and many others, leads me to conclude that kbin has a ridiculous spam problem....
Flipboard has recently begun federation, starting with 25 accounts. These accounts can be viewed from Kbin with their posts showing up as microblog posts....
I'm a bit confused about if I needed a new account here or I could of used my mastodon account? Can we browse lemmy through mastodon and post? Can we see mastodon posts here?
Hey everyone. This magazine was on the abandoned list, so I put in to take over ownership, and here we are! I'd like to revive the sysadmin community here on kbin, and create a solid resource for all of us admins here on the fediverse....
Hi everyone!...
I’ll start us off with:...
If so how is it? I'm heavily considering grabbing an M1 and trying it out if it's in a state where I can be productive....
Hello Kbin,...
Hello @politics!...
When I first joined Kbin I didn't think nothing of it, I had already been enjoying and using Lemmy as well as Mastodon and other parts of the Fediverse, So I knew what I was roughly getting into but didn't release how much Kbin had to offer....
It took several weeks but I finally got my Reddit data export for my account. If it wasn't already obvious, the direct messages there are not encrypted in any meaningful way. One interesting variable I found was in the file named "statistics", there's a variable named "is_deleted" which is set to false. This makes me wonder if,...
