florge , in After Radio Silence, Kbin App Artemis Shuts Down

Why is this news now, when the moderators made their announcement a week ago?

skyfaller , in A reminder that kbin is still violating the zlib license of Postmill (the software that powers Raddle)

The issue has been resolved to the satisfaction of Postmill (for anyone who doesn't feel like clicking through to read the update)

cacheson , in How to Enable Bot Content from Lemmy?

The same thing seems to be happening with [email protected] and [email protected]. The former hasn't had a post show up on kbin since July 13th, while the later doesn't appear to have any posts at all. Initially I was thinking maybe it was due to the lemmy bug that mistakenly marks some connected instances as inactive and stops sending them updates. It may be specifically because these are bot accounts, though.

imasnyper OP ,

I believe this is specifically a bot account issue, because non-bot posts are still showing up as expected. On Lemmy, there's an option that toggles the visibility of bot generated content, but it doesn't seem to be a setting here.

@BaldProphet@kbin.social avatar

Notifications are completely broken for me. I get a "50x" error whenever I try to view them. This has been going on for nearly a month, now.

Spaghetti_Hitchens , in Found a bench that looks like kbin's logo

Yes. That's known as a kbench.

Very_Bad_Janet , in The demographics of Kbin | Survey

Race was multiselect but picking more than one answer value did not display in the results. In that case it should've been radio buttons only for that question.

I had to make a new survey check it out again and it should be fixed!

Chozo , in Found a bench that looks like kbin's logo

That looks like a really uncomfortable bench.

kaupas24 OP ,

Modern design

Sadly that may actually be intentionally

@density@kbin.social avatar

Usually when you see an uncomfortable bench it is made like that so people dont sleep on it. What could be worse than someone sleeping on a bench. Its called hostil design or something.

ryan ,

Hostile architecture, yup. Nothing better than the one-two punch of poorly accommodating people's sitting needs while simultaneously ensuring the unhoused have to suffer even more!

Not to mention what all these "creative designs" do in terms of making some of these benches basically unusable to people with certain physical or sensory disabilities.

Teppic , (edited ) in How does one interact with Mastodon with kbin?
@Teppic@kbin.social avatar

If you click a hashtag e.g. then you'll find much of what is found is from Mastodon.

I'm sure it must be possible to search for a hashtag in a similar way but I've not quite worked that one out!

Gamers_Mate , in How does one interact with Mastodon with kbin?

I am not sure how to see the main feed of mastodon from kbin but you can use
https://kbin.social/u/@USERNAME@INSTANCENAME to view posts from a specific user.
Kbin seems to treat individual accounts on mastodon as different magazines.
Also from Mastodon it will not appear in the main feed but you can use a fediverse link to view it and comment on it.
Next to comments and posts where it says more it will give you a fediverse link. If someone puts that in the search bar in mastodon they can connect to it.

CarrieForle OP ,
@CarrieForle@kbin.social avatar

Thanks for the info. Especially that you can view accounts from other federverse platforms on kbin. I'm going to do some experiment on my own.

@ernest@kbin.social avatar

Hey, in the microblog section, most of the posts come from Mastodon and other platforms. Threads are mainly from Lemmy and Friendica.

If you want to include post from Mastodon in concrete magazine, simply mention it in the post content, for example, @[email protected]

chris , in New feature? 😍 I just noticed that now I can search for magazines/communities better!
@chris@fedia.io avatar

That's interesting. Despite being on the dev branch, Fedia doesn't have this yet! @jerry maybe time for another update? 😉

0x1C3B00DA , in kbin feature needed: a way for users to mirror a thread from another node without integrating comments
@0x1C3B00DA@kbin.social avatar

You can create a new thread linking to the old one (or the url the old threads is linking to).

ciferecaNinjo OP ,

Yeah, that’s a decent hack. Though it requires creating the same magazine locally (fair enough), but if there already is a local magazine that’s federated to that other instance, then it’s complicated.

I guess I’m not clear on how federated magazines work. Suppose we have:

  • domainX.social/m/immigration
  • domainY.social/m/immigration
  • domainZ.social/m/immigration

and someone locally creates a local.social/m/[email protected]. Does that mean we can still create a an unfederated local.social/m/immigration? Or can multiple federated magazines be combined in the same local mag?

And what if domainY has a right wing extremist anti-immigration slant which we don’t want. But we want domainZ’s version but domainZ has federated with domainY?

0x1C3B00DA ,
@0x1C3B00DA@kbin.social avatar

In your example, it wouldn't be local.social/m/[email protected]. If a user on local.social created a immigration magazine it would be local.social/m/immigration The @ part is only for remote magazines. So that same magazine viewed from domainX would be domainX.social/m/[email protected]. local.social/m/[email protected] is an immigration magazine hosted on domainX.social and accessed from local.social

Or can multiple federated magazines be combined in the same local mag?

Not currently. There are multiple proposals for grouping magazines that are being discussed.

And what if domainY has a right wing extremist anti-immigration slant which we don’t want. But we want domainZ’s version but domainZ has federated with domainY?

You can subscribe to whichever one you want. domainZ.social/m/immigration is not affected by whatever the users on domainY post to domainY.social/m/immigration. They are two separate communities.

Sephtis-6 , in The great (planned) kbin outage (upgrade) of 2023 - how did you spend it?

@Cat@kbin.social avatar

Whenever I upload online, I use Scramble. It has come in handy.

34 , in The great (planned) kbin outage (upgrade) of 2023 - how did you spend it?

I'm splitting my time between kbin and Squabbles so I just went to Squabbles during the outage.
