fearout , to RedditMigration in How come there is very little Kbin SEO for individual posts? Also, what are tags/badges?
@fearout@kbin.social avatar

Is it possible/reasonable to have some sort of a fediverse-encompassing api for search engines that would help index only the original threads? A separate instance maybe? Or is it going to stay as is?

@fearout@kbin.social avatar

Yeah, just got an email from them stating that (I still have premium from being guilded). Great company management as always.

“Users are leaving? I have an idea! Let’s nuke their coins, that’ll bring them back!”

If they reveal the correct answer at the end of each episode I’d totally watch that

@fearout@kbin.social avatar

And why is FBI going along with this exactly? Aren’t they like a level above the party members?

@fearout@kbin.social avatar

When posting one image, sure.
But (at least on kbin currently) there’s no way to upload a gallery or several pictures to put into the body of a thread.

Yeah, it reads like something a 12-year old would say lol

fearout , to RedditMigration in Twitter traffic sinks in wake of changes and launch of rival platform Threads
@fearout@kbin.social avatar

Threads aren't even federated yet. There's nothing to defederate or ban.

fearout , to Politics in Speak up now: What should our community guidelines be?
@fearout@kbin.social avatar

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea too

fearout , to Politics in Speak up now: What should our community guidelines be?
@fearout@kbin.social avatar

It does, thanks. I have nothing against reputable sources. Just wanted to chime in about filtering/moderating that type of content in general.

fearout , to Politics in Speak up now: What should our community guidelines be?
@fearout@kbin.social avatar

I’m with a lot of people here on opinion pieces. Those are often not even based on facts and rarely provide any actual valuable discussion. So those should be either monitored more closely to only let serious substantial opinions through, or simply barred from appearing here.

Thanks for your work, subscribed!

fearout , to Fediverse in Why some community's appear empty in kbin while if you go to their instance they have posts?
@fearout@kbin.social avatar

I kinda get it for microblogging platforms, the content is probably changing too quickly for that. Do any Lemmy/kbin instances have similar rules? Fetching something like top-10 posts of the week doesn’t really add any serious traffic.

But an api call made specifically for that is definitely a better option. I wonder if it’s being discussed between the devs.

@fearout@kbin.social avatar

I'm pretty sure it's currently baked into the protocol. But instances themselves could probably add crawlers to fetch a few recent posts. You might want to ask @kbinMeta about that.

As far as I understand, to see the posts you need at least someone from your instance to subscribe to a given community, and only after that you'll see new posts going forward (fediverse pushes content to other instances instead of pulling all the content on request). And you won't see any pre-subscription posts anyway, since it's apparently a lot like actual irl magazine subscriptions — you only get the new stuff once you subscribe.

So, subscribe and wait for a day or two, and you should see new posts appear in your feed.
