Is the Kbin source outdated compared to kbin.social? (kbin.social)
I just realized that some features like "Collections" are not available in other Kbin instances nor in Mbin when in theory they all use 0.10.1....
The future of kbin.earth... (kbin.earth)
This post doesn't directly affect kbin.social users, but it is relevant. It discusses some of the potential pros/cons of Kbin and the pros/cons of Mbin, and also the direction the kbin.earth server is heading.
Are we cut off? (kbin.social)
I can only get my subscriptions and not the all feed. I feel like maybe I am only getting kbin content.
kbin.social/sub says 404 page not found. Does anyone else have this issue? (media.kbin.social)
Do the "Ernest needs to add more maintainers to KBin!" comments remind anyone else of the xz social engineering malarkey? (kbin.social)
Comments such as:...
So I really am the cancer on this platform (kbin.social)
Noticed I got banned by the admins from lemmy.world shower thoughts yesterday. The admins have an interesting reason though....
Multiple questions regarding Kbin (fedia.io)
Hi, as a new Kbin/Mbin user, I have some questions regarding its use. I hope you can help me out....
Start composing a reply to this thread. Did you notice you can change the size of the reply field by dragging the right bottom corner? (kbin.social)
I think that's cool. I have not discovered a limit to how large you can make the box.
Ernest needs to quickly delegate or this instance will quickly die (kbin.social)
I appreciate that earnest made a post yesterday, or maybe it was the day before, saying that he is not dead and hasn't given up on kbin. It's not on this magazine, so I'm not sure where it was since this seems to be the most appropriate one, but in any case....
RE: Is Ernest still here? (kbin.social)
I check in here quite often, but for now, I'm just focusing on clearing spam and keeping the instance alive. In January, I was working on the AP module, and there has been significant progress in the work, which hasn't been publicly published yet. Unfortunately, at the beginning of the year, I developed a skin condition that...
I Still Like Kbin.social (kbin.social)
I still like posting here....
Can registrations on kbin.social be disabled to stop spammers (kbin.social)
kbin.social is being overrun with spammers. Can we disable registrations on this instance so they can't keep creating new accounts? Every day I log on, I have to spend the first 20-30 minutes, reporting and blocking a bunch of new accounts....
Cross posting norms and etiquette? (kbin.social)
I still don’t really understand crossposting or the multiple link options on kbin. What should kbin users know about crossposting and linking?
Issue with sort by hot (kbin.social)
This has been an issue since the beginning of Kbin tmk, but when you make a post, it won't appear under sort by hot unless it has an upvote. This means that if someone forgets to upvote their own post, it just won't appear on the default sort. There are plenty of posts I've missed because of this....
Reporting? (kbin.social)
So im pretty happy with users just being able to block and control things themselves but there has been posts from this somali call girls account where I feel like the extra step of reporting is warranted.
[Solved] How to get rid of the arrows at the bottom of comments which collapse/expand the text? (kbin.social)
They always obscure part of the text, no matter what. I juat want the full text....
What's the quickest way to find a magazine/community you've subscribed to? (kbin.social)
I've been using kbin since the Reddit exodus and I still don't really know the path to finding my way into a specific community/magazine I've subscribed to. I usually search for the name using the search function, then hope I find a thread from there in the results where I can just click directly into it. Surely there must be a...
RTR#50 Plans for the upcoming week (kbin.social)
Lately, I've been dealing with a slight fever associated with the beginning of the year. I'm trying to ensure that everything runs fairly smoothly. Today and tomorrow, I need to focus on planning finances for the upcoming year and handle formalities related to the project. In the following days, I'll implement changes to fix...
Two requests for microblog incorporation into the main feed. (kbin.social)
First off, I absolutely love that microblogs are a part of my main feed now....
Improved Channel Select Menu 0.2.0 — Makes your subscribed magazines and liked channels more accessible (greasyfork.org)
One of my most wanted features as of late has been for the channel select menu to have my subscribed magazines and liked collections. Right now, it just contains some general feeds, but I thought it'd be super useful to also have your mags and collections there for easy access! However, given that Kbin development priorities are...
[UPDATE] Issues with the functioning of kbin.social (kbin.social)
The main issues with the improper functioning of the instance have been resolved, but it led to additional complications. Currently, using the instance should be quite comfortable, but I will continue to work intensively on a comprehensive solution for the next few days. Therefore, occasional interruptions or errors may still...
A case for preemptively defederating with Threads (kbin.social)
With Meta beginning to test federation, there's a lot of discussion as to whether we should preemptively defederate with Threads. I made a post about the question, and it seems that opinions differ a lot among people on Kbin. There were a lot of arguments for and against regarding ads, privacy, and content quality, but I don't...
Kbin badly needs a facelift (kbin.social)
With the abandonment of Artemis (formerly kmoon), kbin is now only really usable by the mobile site. The site is really not suited for mobile devices however, and there have been minimal user-facing changes in the last few months....
RTR#31 Further refactoring, update Symfony to 6.4 and other deps (kbin.social)
Today, I continue preparations for refactoring. Szymon updated the environment and added a spoiler tag in the markdown editor. Additionally, there were several fixes and improvements related to collections and the People page....
RTR#25 Further performance improvements (user page, tag page), marking new comments (kbin.social)
Today, I worked on the user and tag pages to make them operate a bit faster and consume fewer hardware resources. Additionally, I implemented the first iteration of marking new comments in visited threads and posts. This is a test change and will be improved over the next few days. It's progressing a bit faster than I initially...
RTR#22 Further improvements interspersed with code refactoring (kbin.social)
Today, I fixed some visual shortcomings. It is now possible to change images during post editing. The rules of the magazine have been included in the description on Fediverse to avoid misunderstandings with Lemmy users. Some changes are already on the instance, and the rest will be pushed by morning....
To those genuinely interested in moderating (kbin.social)
@Ernest has pushed an update which allows users to request ownership/moderation of abandoned magazines. Ghost/abandoned magazines were fairly prevalent after the initial wave of hype due to users either squatting magazine names or becoming inactive for other reasons. Now is your chance to get involved, if you were waiting to do...
So, what's the status on the update? (edit: ernest responded) (kbin.social)
I don't want to hurry anyone, just asking what's up, if there's been any trouble or anything....
