ShadowRam ,

@kbin kbin is constantly returning 50x and 404 errors to me for the last few weeks. It's literally unusable, even for browsing. What's going on? Is it just me? should I move on to a different instance?

@kbin

Thanks for the thread info,

@ShadowRam Same goes for Lemmy. 0.19 seems to have produced some issues with outgoing federation, While most instances seem to be in the process of fixing this, the outgoing federation queues are days behind the curve in some cases.

Hey, I'm knew to KBIN, and already like it!

Question and issues:

  • How do I set a custom display name for my profile?
  • Is it possible to edit my username?

Thank you in advance for answering.

@ExpertPlus when logged in, go to https://kbin.social/settings/profile. Scroll down and you can change your username. There's no separate display name at this point.

I still don't get this part of kbin. Anyway, I hope you are having a great day.

Phanatik ,

@BeardedPip It's what links with Mastodon. If you go to a community's Microblog page, you'll see a bunch of posts that you can trace back to Mastodon. How it shows up in that community is because the community looks for certain . If a Mastodon post has that and the community is accepting it, then that post will show up in the Microblog for that community.

Feel intensely unmotivated to work on kbin userstyle 🛏️🛏️🛏️ Got started with it , worked pretty much nonstop since joining , yet nowhere close to done

Only so much i can do with userstyles , thought maybe forking instead so i can rearrange HTML , but instructions for setting up local env assume linux machine

@Eigengrau You could run Linux on VirtualBox, so that it just runs as a regular program.

So i've been hoping onto the Random Magazines I find the look of on Kbin but a lot of them seem to be empty and made over a month ago, Why is this?

@readbeanicecream@kbin.social avatar

@SamXavia There was a "mag grab" or "magazine rush" during the great redxit of 2023. Lots of users came in to grab some big names there were red-equivalent. There have been a few requests to delete these mags so active users can take them over.

If anyone here is working on a mobile KBin app, how are you managing microblogging?

Chozo ,

@kspatlas You should check out Artemis. They're looking very promising so far. https://kbin.social/m/ArtemisApp

Why does my subscribed feed contain posts from communities I'm not subscribed to?

HipPriest ,

I sometimes have this thing where I create a post but it keeps showing under Microblog instead of Threads.

I'm creating things by pressing the '+' sign in the top right and clicking add new post.

What is the Microblog, and what do I need to do just to start a normal thread on a topic?

Hope someone can help!
