You've got me there, but by logical extension you are now saying the celestial body the ISS orbits is ...the moon?

Teppic , 4 months ago to xkcd in xkcd #2898: Orbital Argument

You seem to be saying that the earth-moon barycente can be logically referred to as just 'the moon' ?

...whoosh.
In no logical sense does the sun orbit our moon. The earth does however indeed orbit the moon (or technically they both orbit a common centre between the earth and the moon).

I think you get spaghettified inside the event horizon?

Look up hairy black holes. Hawking basically pointed out a paradox.

They tweaked a few things in the back end when this was discussed a few days ago. I think that did result in everybody being logged out once or twice, but my experience is it's been better since then.

I think this instance would have to be aware of the post, so either

• Somebody on kbin.social would have to have followed the user who made the post; or
• A there needs to be direct mention of a user or a magazine here (along the lines of @ random@ kbin.social) in the post.

Once this instance knows about the post I think, yes, it can appear in the Microblog tab.

Teppic OP , 10 months ago to Fediverse in Browsing the wider fediverse from kbin

Sure. I don't know anyone on firefish, but this is dansup of pixlfed on that platform:
https://kbin.social/u/@[email protected]/posts
If you want to see posts from somebody on another platform just search them, something like "@ dansup@ pixelfed.social" (without the spaces) and follow them. From then on you should be able to see their posts (note you won't be able to see old posts, just any new ones from when you followed them onwards).

Just spread the word and I'll be happy!

Teppic OP , 10 months ago to Fediverse in Browsing the wider fediverse from kbin

Yes I was also thinking along those lines. When you create a magazine you can choose hastags to associate with it, I briefly considered whether you could create a magazine specifically to have interesting hashtags for you - problem with that is you end up modding the magazine and anybody can see it, join it and post.

I suspect what you describe might come later, it feels like a natural progression from what we have now.

Teppic OP , 10 months ago to Fediverse in Browsing the wider fediverse from kbin

This is true, but twitter also has an opaque algorithm to choose what appears in your feed. By default Mastodon only allows you to view your feed in chronological order, so there is an argument to make that kbin allows a more twitter like experience...

I do also get there is a steeper learning curve with kbin, and it's basically still only an alpha release (it's clearly not going to be right for everyone).
